About Willow Prairie Cabin

Willow Prairie Cabin is located in the southwest portion of the Cascade Mountain Range at the foot of Mt. McLoughlin, at an elevation of 4.3 ft. The Willow Prairie Guard Station cabin was constructed on the edge of the meadow in 1924 by a Forest Service road crew. Its main purpose at that time was as a firefighter guard station.  In 1990, the cabin was converted to a horse camp and was recently restored by local volunteers and employees of the Butte Falls Ranger District. Today it is available for rent by groups with or without horses.

What Guests Are Saying

The cabin is located in a beautiful natural setting, but there are significant cleanliness issues, particularly with a pack rat causing unhygienic conditions. Some guests have chosen to leave shortly after arrival due to these concerns. Overall, the picturesque surroundings are overshadowed by the unpleasantness experienced indoors.

This extremely little rustic cabin is next to a beautiful meadow with many deer, bugs, chipmunks, mice, beaver, and birds. It reminded us of Little House on the Prairie, with no running water or electricity. We shared the cabin with lizards, mice, spiders, and four active hornets' nests (in the actual cabin!!). We decided to leave the hornets alone, and they left us alone in return. It was an exciting experience, and this is NOT for glampers—the perfect place to bring your dogs and horses.

The pack rat that lives in the rafters had used every flat surface to dedicate and urinate all over. It was gross. Unless you like hantavirus!

Gorgeous piece of earth surrounded by barbed wire and plastic covered forest maintenance slash piles.

I left 3 hours after arriving, without spending a single night.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
