Swan Guard Station

Our family loves coming here year after year. The cabin is always clean, close to wildlife viewing area and swan lake and feels secluded even though you are right next to the road. Thanks for such a wonderful and updated cabin, forestry service!

Very cool cabin. It's equipped better than a lot of others. Many modern touches. It is quite close to the highway, so there's a bit of noise. And we did have people just drive in curiously while we were there. Kids had fun catching snakes.

The place was clean and comfortable with all of the cooking gadgets, a person needs, easy heat source and peaceful surroundings! I was able to check out Bond Creek Trail and the wildlife refuge; each were super easy walking distance from the cabin! There was one hiccup, the door lock mechanism busted, but the problem was remedied shortly after I called the ranger station. The guys that came to do the repair were super courteous too. I look forward to staying here again!!

This is a wonderful Forest Service “cabin”. It is not rustic at all. It has all the amenities of home ( except an indoor toilet). The only drawback is its closeness to the Highway.

2nd time there, always a great place to stay.

We enjoyed one early spring cold night in this cabin, especially with the cozy stove and the comfortable beds. Nice to play cribbage in front of the stove and have some food & drink treats. The kitchen was well-stocked with plates, cups, silverware, etc. and water was available at a hand pump not far from the front door. Loved seeing the old photographs of the Guard Station on the walls, and I'm glad there weren't any cutesy decorations. The only negative was all the dog hair, which is the fault of guests and not the Forest Service. The rule states no dogs on the furniture or beds but you can tell that's not followed, as there was dog hair everywhere, which stuck to all our clothes.

The cabin was wonderful, as always! Well stocked, and comfortable, and the spring skiing out the door through the wetlands was superb with fresh snow.

As usual the cabin was ready for us when we arrived. The driveway to the cabin was recently plowed and sanded. A special thanks to Darren for plowing and sanding.

We loved this cabin. It was spacious, warm, spooky, and in a perfect location for all of our recreation needs.

Five. Wonderful women had an excellent time at the cabin. It was clean organized. The beds were great. My mom who is 85 join us and took the bedroom on the main level. It was so easy for her as an elder lots of games, laughing cross country skiing trails across the street snowshoeing out into the marshlands that were frozen we passed by the open water and saw many animals. Just enough wood on the porch for one night a fire outside they plowed the graveled. It was quite easy for four days and three nights. Thank you.
