About Tucannon Guard Station

The historic Tucannon Guard Station is a charming saltbox-style cabin constructed in 1909. It was inhabited by the first ranger in the Tucannon area, William Kendell, and his family. By 1916, the guard house became headquarters for the district for two years, and then continued on as a standard guard station. Staying here is like stepping back in time. The rooms inside are nicely decorated and cozy. Touches like curtains on the windows and modern furniture add to the destination experience. Beyond the cabin is plenty of photogenic scenery, plus options for prime fishing and hiking.

We’ve enjoyed renting the Tucannon Guard Station for many years and we’ve always appreciated its rustic charm. This last visit, we found the cabin to be quite a bit dirtier than in past years. And, there are no working smoke detectors upstairs. Perhaps this neglect is due to the current funding issues. Regardless, I would hope the smoke detector issue gets resolved for the sake of safety. We left the cabin much cleaner than we found it and hope that future renters take care of it so that we can all fully enjoy its charm for many more years.

Very beautiful well kept cabin with power and water. Just be aware there is NO cell service at this location. Also, remember to take your fishing poles! 😁
