Stayed for 2 nights starting Nov 29, 2019. The cabin is rough as some other reviews indicate. Do not expect this to be like a nice Airbnb or VRBO rental. Previous guest did a good job cleaning up and leaving things as orderly as possible, but it's still a pretty rough cabin. Sort of like indoor camping. No electricity, no water in winter. We were unable to light the propane lanterns on the walls despite multiple attempts, so bring your own flashlights/lanterns. The propane stove worked really well. One of the 4 beds was broken, good thing there were only 3 of us. There are definitely mice in the cabin. We didn't see them, but heard them at night. Bring a tight box or something to secure your food in. There is a TON of firewood outside the cabin, but you may have to split the logs yourself...there is a maul provided. The wood stove does a great job of heating the cabin. This is a gorgeous location and in the winter is secluded and peaceful, though you may hear snowmobiles going by if the weather is decent.

This is the location of the Laramie District of the USFS. Little Brooklyn Guard Station is located nine miles west of Centennial, Wyoming just off the Snowy Range Scenic Byway at an elevation of 10,340 feet. The guard station was constructed in 1931 as housing for Forest Service employees. Today, it is a unique year-round lodging experience for guests seeking recreation and relaxation in southeastern Wyoming. During the dry, summer months, guests can drive directly to the cabin; however during the snowy months, access is limited to snowmobiles, skis or snowshoes. Guests can expect to travel about three miles from the parking lot at Green Rock Recreation Area. Access is limited during the shoulder seasons of spring and fall when snow isnt deep enough to snowmobile on, but too deep to drive in.

Doesn't get much better than a warm cabin in the woods.

My favorite National Forest gaurd station. Big enough that you don't feel cramped, skiing, hiking, and fishing right out the front door.
