Deer Creek Cabin (WY)

We go almost every year. Its proximity to the entrance & Murphy Lake makes for a perfect trip every time.

Refrigerator was full of mold and toilet was plugged.Too many people leave unused items in cabinets . Very convenient location and beautiful area.

Great experience to stay at this cabin. Great sights to see and close to everything.

Great location for sure. Hadn't been up the Grey's River in a spell. Secluded from the main road and fenced in. Love it.

We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Creek Guard Station. We didn't use the propane heater as the wood burning stove was quite adequate even though nights were in the low 20s. The cabin was very comfortable. The area around it was remote and beautiful. We loved it and would not hesitate to do it again.

The only drawback is the gravel road to the cabin. It was 13 mi long and extremely rutted. 13 mi took 40 minutes. Just be prepared 🙂

The cabin was a total disappointment. It had no water and no propane, so the only advantage of staying there was that we didn't need to pitch our tent. The description says "In winter no water is available", but the water is actually turned of on Labor Day already (which I do not consider as the start of the winter!). To be completely fair, this particular detail was mentioned in one place of description, so I guess it is also partially on me for not noticing. I have also received an email about it, but by that time it was already too late to change anything. Unfortunately the propane was also out so nothing worked - fridge, lights, heating. I have received the condition report while already on the way and had no chance of printing and filling it out. Even if I had the chance to print it - the place where we should return it is one hour drive from the cabin (in the opposite direction of where we were going). Guys, we are in the 2024 - please make the condition report digital!

Moreover, during the reservation it says that you will receive the entrance code via email. After the reservation I have received an email, which said that I need to call a phone number in order to receive the reservation code. OK great, so now I had to make sure I have a SIM card, which allows me to call (I am not from US) and that I have good enough reception on my way there. Finally, I did receive the code via email just few days before the stay...

The water is not available on early June, 2024. And the mattress had a lot of hairs on it

This is a lovely property with a ton of room! Initially I thought this was one of those cabin communities with like 6 cabins in a loop, but no it’s just a single cabin with a good plot of land.

There were two picnic tables, an out house, two sheds, an OHV trailhead, fire pit, large stack of cut wood for use, and the cabin itself.

WARNING: YOU NEED A CODE to get in. I had gotten a lot of emails saying I would get a final email 4 days before with a code but I never saw that email. So before your trip CALL THEM to get the code. I never saw the inside the of the cabin but the lot was beautiful and I’m excited to come back and try again!

Deer Creek is a great little cabin located in a beautiful part of the forest, with amazing views from the front porch. It's right off the FS road and easy to get to. Something to keep in mind is that the kitchen is very small and contains few pots/pans/utensils, so be sure to bring what you need to prepare meals. There is plenty of wood for the wood-burning stove, as well as a propane heater and lighting. The bathroom with shower and hot water (when water is operational during the warmer months) is a major plus. The cabin is close to Alpine, WY which has a great grocery store for any supplies you might need. The FS has done a great job of keeping it close to what it looked like when it was built in the 1930's and has a lot of charm. I've stayed in a number of these FS cabins in various regions, and this is among one of my favorites for access, beautiful setting, historic architecture, and amenities.

Very well equipped cabin. A great place to have a break
