We had a very relaxing time. Enjoyed your new oven/stove. The arrangement of things was nice and enjoyed our time.

Cabin was clean and equipped sufficient for a remote cabin rental. Range works nicely, oven does not as we were planning to use it for cinnamon rolls (didn't detract from our experience!). A moose in the willows near cabin. Pole Ck ski trails were skiable contrary to lack of snow around the cabin. Do like the looks of the Pole Ck Cabin...may try that sometime. USFS office staff person very personable.

I know there is not enough pictures of this cabin to do it justice, but this cabin is pretty big with two rooms one single room and two bunk beds. The bunk bedroom has plenty of room for the kids to play games or even set up a little tent. If you use GPS it will tell you to turn into the hill but there is a road that has a sign for muddy creek and also says parking. Then take a right at the fork. If there is any kind of snow you will get stuck so just use left side of to drive on. Cabin is clean with a fireplace frig and a sink (but now water make sure u bring water) and out house and little shed that has firewood cut up. I will definitely come back to this cabin soon :)

Just like Little House in the Prairie, but up on the mountain. Rustic, nice wood stove with electric heat back up. Newer pit toilets take away the ambiance of the old two holer but nice addition. Close to highway but off grid feeling

Been staying at Muddy Guard cabin since 2015 and have always had a great experience. The location is convenient and the cabin itself has everything you need unless you cannot live without indoor plumbing. Has a big deep sink with a drain, so just bring some large water containers with a spigot and you have a sink with water! The vault toilet is about as nice as it can be. 5 beds, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, fridge and now, hard wired room heaters! The fire pit is great and can easily be cooked upon.
We will continue to stay here as long as are able.
