We go almost every year. Its proximity to the entrance & Murphy Lake makes for a perfect trip every time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Creek Guard Station. We didn't use the propane heater as the wood burning stove was quite adequate even though nights were in the low 20s. The cabin was very comfortable. The area around it was remote and beautiful. We loved it and would not hesitate to do it again. The only drawback is the gravel road to the cabin. It was 13 miles long and extremely rutted. 13 miles took 40 minutes. Just be prepared 🙂

The cabin was a total disappointment. It had no water and no propane, so the only advantage of staying there was that we didn't need to pitch our tent. The description says "In winter no water is available", but the water is actually turned of on Labor Day already (which I do not consider as the start of the winter!). To be completely fair, this particular detail was mentioned in one place of description, so I guess it is also partially on me for not noticing. I have also received an email about it, but by that time it was already too late to change anything. Unfortunately the propane was also out so nothing worked - fridge, lights, heating. I have received the condition report while already on the way and had no chance of printing and filling it out. Even if I had the chance to print it - the place where we should return it is one hour drive from the cabin (in the opposite direction of where we were going). Guys, we are in the 2024 - please make the condition report digital! Moreover, during the reservation it says that you will receive the entrance code via email. After the reservation I have received an email, which said that I need to call a phone number in order to receive the reservation code. OK great, so now I had to make sure I have a SIM card, which allows me to call (I am not from US) and that I have good enough reception on my way there. Finally, I did receive the code via email just few days before the stay...
