This is the place for rest and relaxation. We stayed for two nights and didn’t travel away from our little piece of heaven other than to take walks and ride our bikes on the roads near the cabin. The wild flowers were in bloom, and we spent a lot of time reading. Remember, it is a cabin in the woods, so there are insects and mice. We didn’t have any problems but keep your food packed up at night.

Beautiful area and views! The cabin was clean and in such good shape! Mornings and evenings were incredibly peaceful. There were visitors to the lookout tower next to the cabin fairly often even on a weekday, so don’t expect solitude for long. There was a lot of noise from visitors and people would climb the tower and even throw things off of it. People would also hang out right outside. I’m not from the area so didn’t expect it to be such a popular spot to visit. The roads were easy to navigate and signage was clear! Google map coordinates take you right there. Last thing! My dog got into several rib bones, so please clean up after yourself even if it’s food scraps.

Great experience! Lots of items for use in the cabin (including a coffee percolator!) definitely made the trip amazing. Great memories made! Will return if able. 11/10

From Lexington, OR, take Highway 74/207 east to Heppner. Continue south, on Highway 207. At the junction in Heppner, bear right to continue south on Highway 207 for 39 mi through Heppner, Ruggs, Hardman and past Anson Wright County Park to the junction of Highway 207 and Forest Road 24 (0.1 mi past the Bull Prairie Campground turn-off). Turn left (east) on FR 24 (a gravel road) and travel 6.5 mi to FR 2407. Turn right (south) on FR 2407 and travel 1.5 mi to FR 040. Travel a half-mile on FR 40 to the cabin, which is on the right before the helipad. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended for access as the last mile to the cabin is very steep and rocky.
