I have stayed at both the lodge and cabin and both could use a lot of repairs. The recent stay at the cabin was quite a disappointment as it was very dirty, thousands of flies, dead mice on floor, trash left inside from previous occupant. Did not use any of the cooking implements because there is no water so how did anyone wash things? This could be a very good thing but I felt it was overpriced for what we got. Turned on the heat stove and it smelled so bad we couldn't leave it on. as it smelled so bad.

Forest Service staff came by soon after we arrived and got the heater going for us. Really nice guys! They said we were the first to use the cabin for the season (hence a winter's worth of floor-dirt and mouse droppings). But we got it swept out as best we could and enjoyed two nights with no further sign of critters. Cabin simple with four bunk beds, table and chairs, stove and heater. Faucet outside for non-potable water and enclosed pit toilet up a walkway. Larger USFS rental cabin uphill -- can and hear its occupants on occasion. Road used by vehicles and ATVs -- not too bad -- but since we were early for the season, it could be busy during the main summer season. All in all, loved the cabin and area. No cell service for T-mobile phones at the cabin. Attempted to fly-fish down at the creek, but hard to get to thru bogs, brush. Ended up using nice open area across from the campground to the north.

Jack Creek Guard Station is a rustic cabin with a 4-burner propane stove/oven, propane heater, kitchen table, and bunks. It also comes with a healthy population of flies and mice. Outside is fresh water access and a vault toilet. I dont mind rough or rustic accommodations, but have a hard time justifying $50/ night to have mice scamper over my body while I try to sleep. The guard station could be much improved with a bear and mouse proof storage container for food.

Nice little cabin very comfortable will do again also had family at the bigger cabin above was also nice but it does need some work done with plumbing and other issues in cabin if looking at it

I was not allowed access to the Jack Creek Guard Station because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We were very disappointed to not be able to use this nice facility.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
