What Guests Are Saying

Despite experiencing a propane leak before their visit, the reviewer enjoyed their stay at Kelley Guard Station. They found the old wood cook stove intriguing and appreciated the cabin's peaceful, remote setting. The lack of phone service allowed for a complete disconnect, and they recommend bringing extra water for the trip.

We reserved this 1 month in advance. A few days before we were supposed to come the propane was shut off due to a leak. This left it with no lights, heat or stove. We decided to go anyway. I am so glad we did. The old wood cook stove was interesting to learn to use. The cabin is nice and there is nothing around to ruin the quiet. There is absolutely no phone service so you have to disconnect. Take plenty of water as there is none. I would gladly go here again.
