About This Location

Experience remote history at Liz Creek Cabin, a restored 1929 USFS guard station in Idaho's scenic Rocky Mountains. Perfect for backcountry adventurers.

Nestled in the rugged beauty of the Idaho Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 3,509 feet, Liz Creek Cabin offers a truly unique escape into the backcountry. Originally constructed in 1929 as a Forest Service guard station, this historic site was meticulously restored in 2014 to provide a rustic rental experience. Its remote setting provides a peaceful retreat for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the wild landscape.

The cabin features a charming single-room layout with a loft and a covered porch, offering a base camp for outdoor enthusiasts.

Please note that the site is managed by the USFS and provides basic amenities, including vault toilets and fire rings for your stay.

This location is best suited for adventurous travelers, including tent campers and backcountry explorers who enjoy a moderate challenge.
