About Cold Springs Cabin - Ochoco Nf (OR)

Cold Springs Guard Station, constructed in 1934, is a historic site tucked into the Ochoco National Forest. It served a special role as the switchboard station connecting phone calls between various fire lookouts and guard stations during the summer months, as well as housing for the fire guard and his family. The current cabin replaced an earlier one that was destroyed by fire. Cold Springs Guard Station continued to be used by Forest Service employees into the 1990s, and remnants of its past can still be seen today. This is the perfect destination for guests wanting the creature comforts of a home while in a rustic, natural setting. This cabin is can be reserved from mid-May through mid-October, and it accommodates up to eight people.

What Guests Are Saying

The Cold Springs Cabin offers a serene location, ideal for hiking and photography, with beautiful wildflowers and wildlife sightings, including elk and antelope. The responsiveness of maintenance staff to a water pump issue was commendable, ensuring a quick resolution. However, guests should be prepared for mosquitoes in the evenings and bring repellant for outdoor enjoyment.

Very nice cabin located on the eastern edge of Summit Prairie. There are nice roads behind the cabin for morning or evening hikes. A good place to base further travel. I visited Rock Creek, Lookout Mtn and fished Crooked River. Nice quiet location.

Loved the cabin. Very nice to see the preserved history that was in the cabin. We are up in the mountains a lot and decided we wanted to stay here. We will definitely be renting this cabin again. Very peaceful and quiet there.
