We always love staying at the Johnson Creek Guard Station! This year was our 3rd year, and it never disappoints. For anyone who has been there before, you should be properly forewarned that the coffee machine and griddle are no longer in the cabin. Bummer! However, we do love the running water, the shower, and the flush toilet. The information and photos on the website are out-of-date, so for anyone who hasn't been there yet, there is a full bed in the main bedroom, 2 twin beds and 2 cots upstairs. Also, this cabin has full electricity, so if you want to wash your hair in the shower and bring a blow dryer, you can, which is great! There are also floor space heaters, so if you get cold at night, you can run those for heat. The kitchen features a regular stove/oven, a fridge, and running water in the kitchen sink. Overall, this is our favorite Recreation.gov Forest Service rental cabin, due to all the amenities in it. This is our 3rd year at the cabin, and both of our kids had their first camping trip here. Make sure to read the log book in the cabin for great ideas of things to do in the area while you are there. We had a great stay!

great location, close to everything you want to do.

Great setting but don't plan on sleeping in on the weekends. The air traffic over the cabin in the early morning is non-stop.

This past August was the 2nd time we had stayed at Johnson Creek Guard Station. It is convenient for access to Yellow Pine and provides us everything we need. We always find that the cabin is clean and ready for us to stay in.
