About Walker Cabin

Walker Cabin is nestled among trees just off Crooked River Road #233, which leads into the Gospel-Hump Wilderness Area, in the Nez Perce National Forest. The cabin was originally built around 1930 as a summer home. Jerry and Helen Walker purchased the cabin in 1967, then donated it to the U.S. Forest Service in the 1980s. It is now available for public recreational use. The cabin must be reserved in advanced; there are no walk-ups.

I was informed to call to the code for the cabin prior to arrival. I called for two days straight with no answer & no voicemail setup. Also attempted on online chat. Once connected it said 13 min wait time, then 22 min wait time. After 30 min off waiting on the chat it switched to “no agent available”. There’s no cell service out there but we had planned this trip weeks in advance and were already packed and ready to go. We hoped there was going to be someone that knew the code. There wasn’t. I was charged for a cabin that we couldn’t even stay in & still have not gotten a response back from their “ customer service “.

We stayed at Walker Cabin August 14th, it was a great stay. The cabin was clean and my family enjoyed the small stream that runs next to the cabin. The outhouse was a short 30 steps away from the cabin and there was even a battery operated light in it! There were fires in the area at the time, we were thankful for the communication with the firefighters and rangers from Elk City. Elk City was a nice little town. We would stay again!

It might be time to just tear this cabin down. It is extremely breezy (door cracks, gaps). The cooking wood stove is NOT safe/operational as there are multiple smoke leaks from it (screws missing in pipe). There is a really bad mice problem. It's mildly better than a lean-to.
