Whisky Camp Guard Station

Beautiful spot, but a little run down for the price

Beautiful spot, but a little run down for the price

Be prepared for lots of down trees on the roads had to cut lots of trees out of the way, do not drive up from elk creek side you won’t get through. Sucks that people damage stuff like the two windows that are boarded up. If you have an upcoming reservation I recommend bringing some mantles for the lanterns as whoever was there last destroyed every single one in the cabin!

It was a rustic cabin with plenty of heat at night from the propane heater. The cots were comfy and it was a quiet, secluded area with plenty of firewood to chop and burn. The porch was a great place to sit and relax. A couple little creeks down the hillside for the dogs to drink from. My only worry were that the CM and smoke detectors were dead. Other than that, it was a perfect place to relax and get away.

Lock shot out. Couldn't open the gate to the cabin.

Great place to relax. All issues mentioned in previous reviews have been resolved. Gate lock was fine and we were able to access the road into the cabin. Carbon monoxide detector had been replaced with a new duel fire/CO detector. The window that had been broken from a previous season has been replaced. We spent a wonderful 3 days at the cabin with 3 adults and 2 kids. There was plenty of space inside of all of us, 4 of us on beds and one on a sleeping mat. Heater inside kept us warm as it was sunny but chilly. I would recommend that you have plenty of extra lights. We brought battery operated lanterns and light strings, we are so glad we did. The propane wall lanterns are so dim we didn't even bother to use them. The kitchen area has plenty of space for cooking and dishes work, one of the best I have used. People have left small things over time, a few bowls, plates, a pot, pan, spoons etc, but most of it needed a good washing and not something you should count on. Bring everything you need for cooking but those extras might come in handy if you forget something. Lastly, there are instructions to operate the appliances and the trundle beds, everything is in a drawer in the kitchen area. We were very pleased with the cabin and our stay. We will surely rent it again sometime in the future.
