My husband and I had a great time at Granite Butte Fire tower. It was quite chilly when we arrived - but the wood was ready to go and we had the fire burning within a few minutes. This is a once in a lifetime experience!

Well provided and well stocked.

Always a fun time. The wood stove has deteriorated significantly since our last stay in March 2020. The firebricks are falling apart which seems to prevent the stove both holding heat and drafting consistently. It took quite a while to heat things up. Also, the massive pile of quilts which were in situ last winter had vanished, which was sad.

The entire experience was memorable and adventurous. The structure has been soundly kept and maintained, the wood stove warmed the place splendidly, and with many items already in place (e.g propane stove, axe, etc) made ease of what little to pack. I also liked that a supply of would was already in the LO and down below and a tradition of prior occupants restocking the wood supply for the next. I/we can’t wait for our next visit! Thank you to all who have helped to maintain this living structure of historic value. Cheers, Kai, Kir, and Lucky
