The photos are out of date on the listing - the WW2 era beds have been replaced with modern twin over full size bunks sleeping a total of probably 6 inside (couples on lower, singles on top). Cell service was outstanding for T Mobile - over 200 Mbps - you can see the towers in the distance of the cell site. The lantern on the right side as you come in likes to backfire and was unusable for our evening there despite changing out the mantel - plan on brining your own lighting. We used the other lantern on the wall along with some smaller LED lamps. The heater is great for our shoulder season overnight and the light pollution is zero at this site. We tried some star gazing, but had clouds roll in late evening. It was clear in the morning when we left around 5:30 am to return home and had a great view of the Milky Way. Will definitely add to my list of spots to hit for early and late season. In October the road was busy early with what I'm assuming was hunters headed back in toward Mt Emily. This is a very washboarded gravel road pretty wide up until the last mile. Could definitely get most cars and SUVs into the side without an issue. Solar would be problematic at this site, it is heavily treed and has great visibility to the west.

We had a wonderful time. The cabin is clean and the view is incredible. When we woke up there was a huge herd of sheeps around the cabin! Not something you see everyday.

It’s a good cabin for the price. It’s located in a very scenic location. Bring plenty of water.

Bathroom was trashed and no paper. Stunk. Cabin was trashed. Had to clean it. Garbage everywhere Had to police all that. Fire pit was full of glass and cans and all the crap. Pilot light in stove won’t work. A light in the cabin won’t work. What a bummer. This place used to be nice. And recreation.gov won’t do anything. Certainly not a refund.

The Summit Guardhouse is fairly remote and is accessed by a well maintained gravel road. It's quiet with amazing views of the valley below. Lots of great hiking and the whole area is very dog friendly. Beds were comfortable and the cabin came equipped with all of the kitchen amenities. We will definitely book this cabin again if we're in the area!!!
