Great facility for small to large groups. Double kitchen and two bathrooms are awesome. Great hunting, hiking and fishing right out the door.

Great area and nice cabin, we gave 4 stars because ticks seem to be in full force…Even killed a couple crawling up the wall on one corner of the upstairs.

We loved our stay at Bend Guard. The modern amenities and duplicate appliances in the kitchen were incredibly convenient for our large group. There were so many things already stocked in the cabin as well.

We found the place easily and it was well stocked and taken care of. Although there isn't much forest service land by the cabin, there is plenty of lumber land to explore. Lots of logging roads twisting all over the place. Saw tons of tracks, but little wildlife. It was super cold while we were there. Barely reached double digits. But the cabin was comfortable and cozy. Will definitely come back again!

After leaving Highway 2 or 200, area roads are low standard gravel or dirt and are often rough. Area roads also serve logging trucks and should be driven with care.
