Suiattle Guard Station

The cabin can accommodate four people with one full size bed with mattress and one trundle bed. Other amenities include a table with benches, a chair, battery powered lantern, cookware, dishes, utensils, and a wood stove for heat. An outdoor privy (primitive vault toilet) is located behind the guard station. Firewood is available outside the cabin. The food preparation area consists of a propane stove top (located on the enclosed back porch) and kitchen sink basin (no running water). Propane is provided. There is room on-site for up to four tents and two RVs. No electrical hook-ups are available. The water source consists of a spring that is run into a small collection box on the hillside behind the cabin and piped to a spigot behind the cabin. This water is non-potable and is to be used only for washing and fire safety. Guests must bring enough water for drinking and cooking. Other items to bring include food, a cooler to store perishables, a backup light source, pillows and bedding or sleeping bags, towels, dish soap, matches, a first aid kit, toilet paper and garbage bags.
