About
Frog Meadow Guard Station is a historic single-story cabin nestled at the edge of a mountain meadow at 7,760 feet elevation in the Western Divide area of Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National Monument. Originally built as a Forest Service guard station, it now serves as a recreation rental offering a unique backcountry lodging experience approximately two hours northeast of Bakersfield, California. The cabin features one bedroom with two double beds and a roll-away bed with mattresses. The living area includes two double-size futon couches, providing sleeping capacity for up to ten guests. The fully-equipped kitchen has a propane stove and refrigerator, table and chairs, pots and pans, dishes, glasses, and utensils. The bathroom includes a flush toilet, sink, and tub-shower with propane-heated hot water. There is no electricity at Frog Meadow, so guests must bring battery or propane-operated lanterns for light after dark. An outdoor fire ring and picnic table are available. The cabin's remote high-elevation setting provides access to hiking, wildlife viewing, and stargazing in the surrounding national forest.
