Kelley Guard Station

It's a rustic cabin we stayed in the winter and the heater worked great in the bedroom but the kitchen only has a small wood stove that's picky to get going got enough. The heat from the bedroom isn't quite enough to warm the kitchen for a late night poker game but we had a great time anyway.

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.

When you turned the propane on at the tank, and then at the valve on the exterior of the cabin a strong propane smell was evident in the cabin. We only stayed 2 hours and left. Recreation.gov refunded our fee. After they fix the problem the cabin should be fine.

This cabin is great when you finally get there but be prepared for a long long bumpy drive. The drive is fun if you have a proper vehicle don’t give up and keep going and you’ll be rewarded. The cabin is comfortable and well appointed and if you like Seclusion this cabin is for you. There are mice but they didn’t bother us. We will return.

It was fantastic having running water! Our family built the wooden steps outside the cabin and it was disappointing that the steps didn’t get painted and the hand railing was broken. Also, the toilet didn’t flush correctly and easily clogged. I did miss the curtains in the bedroom area. The updated floor was fabulous and very beautiful! Everything in the cabin worked correctly. We used both the gas stove and the wood stove. It was nice having the weeds around the cabin mowed :-) Thanks for taking care of the cabin! It’s one of our favorite places to go!

We did a winter trip on Snow machines with the kids. we packed in a little extra gas and had a blast, we will definitely do this trip again!!

I have stayed there several times throughout the past 10 years with friends or renting it myself and family comes with. Usually always stay there in October. The main door could probably use some help. We carve some shims out of wood probably five years ago so the door would latch. On our recent stay we noticed the shims are still there. Seems to be doing the job OK but might be time for a new door jamb and or door. Maybe you could use some work on the front steps as well. We always enjoy staying there and we always have a good time. We have no cell phone coverage. That does not bother us. However if we go to the top of the hill were the road forks coming from Cokeville we have service. Very short Drive. Thanks. PS. Probably no way of getting around for mice but we always catch mice when we are there and clean up mouse poop upon arrival

This cabin rules. I wish I had booked multiple nights here. It is in such a peaceful, quiet location that makes you feel far away from civilization. The cain had everything it states. I would absolutely stay here again if I was in the area. Thank you so much USFS for access to such amazing places.

The gate down the road from the cabin really helps keep curious traffic from annoying visits. The cabin itself is nice with working windows and fitted screens.

The cabin is in great shape. Running water (must boil before consuming), shower, and flush toilet. Gas lights, refrigerator, and stove work great. Our favorite cabin so far. Pit toilet is also available and was clean and in good condition.
