We're quite familiar with this area as we have been camping and hiking for over three decades. We've watched the renovation of the Guard Station through its various stages and were very excited to finally be able to spend a few days and nights inside. We had a wonderful time enjoying the ambience of the cabin and beautiful forest environment. Absolutely Wonderful. We are looking forward to returning for another stay

What a wonderful little cabin to spend a weekend away from everything. From the moment you open the gate at the end of the road, get ready to unplug and enjoy the large grounds, nature, and quiet haven. Bed sleeps great after a long day of exploring. Thanks for restoring this and getting it back to rental status for us to enjoy.
