Love this place!

Cabin was clean and well equipped, we had a great time! Make sure to check out the Crazy Woman Canyon just next door. We also hiked the trail to James T. Saban Fire Lookout, short, but challenging, great views of the area.

Always love our time at the cabin!

We had a very relaxing time. Enjoyed your new oven/stove. The arrangement of things was nice and enjoyed our time.

We were pleasantly surprised with this cabin. We were expecting a much more "rough it" kind of situation but there were excellent electric heaters, lots of wood for the stove, cooking supplies (pots, pans, etc) and even a coffee pot! We loved our time at Muddy Guard.

We love Muddy Guard! Such a great and relaxing place where we can unplug and enjoy Gods creation.

The cabin was amazing! Plenty of firewood and very clean! Thats all we needed!
@DavidT5110185 · Camped on Jan 25, 2024 at Campsite #1
Cabin was clean and equipped sufficient for a remote cabin rental. Range works nicely, oven does not as we were planning to use it for cinnamon rolls (didn't detract from our experience!). A moose in the willows near cabin. Pole Ck ski trails were skiable contrary to lack of snow around the cabin. Do like the looks of the Pole Ck Cabin...may try that sometime. USFS office staff person very personable.

It a nice place to have as a base, easy to get to other sights and places from the cabin.

Bring water. Has assortment of dishes and pans. Small fridge, microwave and coffee pot. Has heat. More spacious than expected! Wonderful experience!!

I know there is not enough pictures of this cabin to do it justice, but this cabin is pretty big with two rooms one single room and two bunk beds. The bunk bedroom has plenty of room for the kids to play games or even set up a little tent. If you use GPS it will tell you to turn into the hill but there is a road that has a sign for muddy creek and also says parking. Then take a right at the fork. If there is any kind of snow you will get stuck so just use left side of to drive on. Cabin is clean with a fireplace frig and a sink (but now water make sure u bring water) and out house and little shed that has firewood cut up. I will definitely come back to this cabin soon :)

Just like Little House in the Prairie, but up on the mountain. Rustic, nice wood stove with electric heat back up. Newer pit toilets take away the ambiance of the old two holer but nice addition. Close to highway but off grid feeling

Been staying at Muddy Guard cabin since 2015 and have always had a great experience. The location is convenient and the cabin itself has everything you need unless you cannot live without indoor plumbing. Has a big deep sink with a drain, so just bring some large water containers with a spigot and you have a sink with water! The vault toilet is about as nice as it can be. 5 beds, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, fridge and now, hard wired room heaters! The fire pit is great and can easily be cooked upon.
We will continue to stay here as long as are able.

everything was clean, the firewood was stocked and we all had a great time.
This camping trip was very special as my dad (86) had not stayed in this cabin since he was 9yr old and to have hi children, grandchildren and great grandchildren there with him was such a blessing.

awesome!
@RomanB4479160 · Camped on Apr 10, 2022 at Campsite #1
The road to access the cabin was buried under 6 inches of snow so it was inaccessible and i was out the money for the cabin and had to pay for accommodations elsewhere
@SallyP1935943 · Camped on Feb 18, 2022 at Campsite #1
Will be staying again. Always enjoyable

This is such an amazing offer to the public - the cabin is well cared for and the amenities are outstanding. What a wonderful experience. This is the third time we have rented this cabin and each time I am impressed with the way the previous user has left the cabin, it is always clean, the site is clean, the bathroom is in top shape, overall this is one of the highlights of visitors for us. Thank You so much

This is a very special place and we felt fortunate to have experienced an absolutely wonderful five nights at the Muddy Guard. We spent a lot of time exploring nearby forest service roads and saw moose, elk and deer. We also spent a lot of time just enjoying the cabin and "yard." We very much appreciate the Forest Service keeping the cabin in such good shape for many to enjoy. It's a true gem. If only there weren't so many ATV's out there having fun.
