About Recreation Rental: Gov. Mineral Springs Cabin
Within a grove of towering old-growth conifer trees, this recently renovated two-story cabin sports a fresh coat of light green paint, dark green trim, shutters with decorative tree cut-outs, and a cozy covered front porch. The lower floor features a large kitchen with a propane stove, a dining room, and a living room with a fireplace and two futons that fold down into double beds. Two upstairs bedrooms can accommodate five, with two single beds in one bedroom and one bunk bed that sleeps three in a second bedroom. There is no potable water at the cabin, and visitors are encouraged to bring plenty for drinking, cooking and washing. A stream within 300 feet of the Guard Station may be used as a water source; however, the water must be treated or boiled before drinking. Melted snow can be used for washing, but is not safe for drinking. - **Availability:** Government Mineral Springs Guard…
