What Guests Are Saying
The Timber Butte Cabin offers a cozy and clean retreat in a beautiful, secluded setting with a lovely outdoor cook stove and a great fire pit. Guests enjoyed the peaceful environment and comfortable amenities, although there were some maintenance issues, such as a malfunctioning gate lock and propane availability. Overall, while the cabin has its charm and potential, it could benefit from some upkeep to enhance the experience further.

Ranger called us and was very helpful! She was able to update the directions on this site.
Beautiful cabin! But suggested directions are wrong.
-Then the road turns into FSR 1802, continue up approx. 4 miles. Turn left onto FSR 1821-
1802 to 1821 is more than 4 miles in its 7! Also making it confusing, there is a left-hand turn at 4 miles. Labeled FSR 164. But this is a dead in road with a down tree.
We drove home and came back the next day using these directions. They were great, and the road was much better for travel.
Total mileage from Lowell to Timber Butte Cabin is 19 miles.
From Interstate 5 (I-5), take Highway 58 East (Exit 188) and travel for 13 miles toward Oakridge. Turn left off of Highway 58 at the Lowell covered bridge and proceed toward the town of Lowell. At the 4-way junction in Lowell, turn left onto Boundary Road. Take the next right (Moss Street) for 2 miles to the crossroads of Unity, where you’ll see another covered bridge. Turn right (east) onto Big Fall Creek Road (18) and proceed to MP 13 and turn right onto Forest Service Road 1821, continue up approx. 4 miles. Turn right onto FSR 1821-168 and proceed 1 mile. Turn right onto FSR 1816-175 and after 100 yards turn left onto FSR 1816-131 (gated entrance road to the cabin).

Total mileage from Lowell to Timber Butte Cabin is 17.4 miles. From Interstate 5 (I-5), take Highway 58 East (Exit 188) and travel for 13 miles toward Oakridge. Turn left off of Highway 58 at the Lowell covered bridge (milepost 13) and proceed toward the town of Lowell. After 0.7 miles, at the 4-way junction in Lowell, turn left onto Boundary Road. In 0.1 miles take the next right (Moss Street) for 1.7 miles to the crossroads of Unity, where you'll see another covered bridge. Turn right (east) onto Big Fall Creek Road (18) and proceed 0.4 miles to the next right turn (Winberry Creek Road). You will be on this road for 8.5 total miles. After 4.2 miles the road appears to come to a T intersection, but bearing to the right will keep you on Winberry Creek Road. After an additional 1.2 miles you will cross a small cattleguard. In another 3.1 miles it appears that the road reaches a four way intersection, but you should continue straight to stay on the same road. From this point forward, all turns should be marked with a white "TB" sign that has an arrow pointing in the correct direction, but these signs can get damaged so plan on refering to them but not relying on them. Drive 3.7 miles further on the 1802 before taking a left onto the 1821. You will be on the 1821 for a total of 1.5 miles. The signage for this turn can be hidden in shadows due to how brushy the road edge can get, so be on the lookout. In 0.2 miles the 1821 bears to the right, then in 1 mile it bears to the left. In 0.2 miles the road appears to T and you should again turn left onto the 1821-168 spur. Take the next right after driving 0.9 miles onto the 1816-175 spur, then after 50 yards the next left will be the 1816-131 (gated entrance road to the cabin).
The first mile of the 1802 and last mile of the 1816-131 are brushy and road conditions make a high clearance vehicle necessary. Look for the signs that say TB, the arrows will direct you to the cabin. GPS navigation cannot be relied on. If you need help with directions, call or visit the Middle Fork Ranger Station before starting your trip and we will be happy to assist you.
Cabin parking is located about 1 mile up FSR 1816-131, adjacent to the outhouse.
