What Guests Are Saying
The Indian Creek Guard Station is well-stocked and provides a great experience for families, especially for fishing at Ferron Reservoir. While there are occasional inconveniences like the absence of a can opener and some larger spiders, the overall enjoyment and fun outweigh these minor issues. Reservations could be improved to allow for shorter stays, and visitors should be prepared for rough road conditions.

We enjoy the cabin very much. I wish reservations could be made for 1-week at a time rather than 14-days to give more people the opportunity to go to the cabin. It feels very hard to get a reservation even if you are logged in at 7:59 with your credit card entered and press send at 8:00. I did not get the reservation multiple times and then it was often a two week reservation wait to try again. We love going to Indian Creek Guard Station!

We couldn't find a can opener. But other than that very well stocked. Just keep a watch out for the big spiders in the cabin at night. They're not to scary. We love going here. And fishing at Ferron Resivior.
