Itasca Station Lodging | College of Biological Sciences

Lodging is provided at Itasca Station in 34 buildings (see Station Map). Half of these are single room bunkhouse cabins with shared bathhouses, and half are full service cabins of various sizes with kitchens and bathrooms. Our lodging facilities have the rustic charm from their 1940s and 50s era construction. They are simple, but comfortable.
