This cabin was excellent with a very few exceptions. There are bunkbeds but they do not have a mattress so you sleep on plywood unless you bring your own padding. otherwise everything about the cabin was great. The road in front of the cabin has an exceptional amount of traffic pick up trucks and commercial trucks so even though the cabin seems to be remote at first glance it has lots of noise from time to time.Be careful of the propane stove when you light it. It does not light very quickly and has a tendency to flash up The electric lights on timers are great. It would be nice to have a way to lock the back door from the inside in case you’re worried about security since the door can be bumped open.

Used the guard station Sept 2022. We really liked our stay. There were six beds to use in the cabin, which was a surprise (two bunk and two single beds). Like it says, you need to bring your own bedding. The cabin had been upgraded to have solar powered lights, which was awesome. Super easy to use and worked great. There are two porch lights (front and back) and each room inside has two lights (each one controlled with its own switch) The lights have a timer switch, the longest the lights will stay on is 60 minutes. You have other options, such as 45 mins, 30 mins, 15 mins, and 5 mins, and off. The fire pit area was clean and very user friendly. No complaints with the pit toilet. The property is surrounded by a large fence, which was nice. The picture of the barb wire is outdated as it now has square grid fencing all the way around. There were a handful of hornets inside the cabin when we first got there, but the fly swatter helped take care of them. The area had lots of flies, but nothing crazy. The propane stove worked great. You need to turn on the gas outside the cabin before using and make sure to turn it off before leaving. There were mice that visited inside the cabin at night so make sure your food and garbage are secured before bed. Very pretty area. The guard station is right on the main road so there were noticeable traffic with 4-wheelers and side-by-sides but it is expected with the area.
