La Prele Guard Station

This is part of a district compound built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936 to house the LaPrele District Ranger and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Guard Station is the only building available for rent at this time. It offers 2 bedrooms that sleep up to 6 people, a full bath, large kitchen and living/dining room with a stone fireplace. There is limited electricity to the cabin, as well as a propane water heater, refrigerator and stove, and the fireplace is adequate for heating the cabin.

All cleaning supplies are provided, but you need to bring bedding and towels, and it's customary to bring additional drinking water. We ask that you pack your trash out and clean the cabin upon departure.
