Unfortunately the toilet was not working properly and the grass was overgrown. I understand it was before Memorial Day, we would have been happy to mow it ourselves so our children could run and play free. This was our first visit to the ranger station. We enjoyed a wonderful thunderstorm and great food using the kitchen appliances. We hope to be back again!

Once inside the Guard Station (a long story on gaining access) it was nicely furnished and we found everything okay and working. I did not know there was a microwave already in the Guard Station as we had brought one up since the amenities shown on the website for this rental did not list a microwave. The area around the Guard Station is very pleasant. However, we had some rude campers across the road from us who decided to play their loud music all day long and didn't stop until after midnight. I had to use earplugs to sleep. I found this very annoying. The hot water takes a while to get through the system to the bathroom so be patient. There was some minor garbage I found around the Guard Station from previous occupants which I picked up. My wife said that the Guard Station was not as clean as it should have been when we used it. It looked like it was not swept out from the last occupants. The stove backing was dirty, but hard to know who left it like that. The beds very fairly comfortable. Ample pots and cooking ware. The lighting was excellent for reading and playing game. I liked the map board cupboard.

My family and I make this a yearly vacation. We’ve enjoyed the Guard Station the past 5 falls. We were a bit disappointed though this year. The refrigerator leaked and soaked our food, and the stove (two burners) did not work.
