About Louella Cabin

Located in the northeast portion of Olympic National Forest, Louella Cabin offers guests a unique lodging experience. It was built in 1912 by Forest Service employee, E. M. Cheney, who dedicated the structure to his wife, Louella. A fireguard was stationed at the cabin during the summer and fall. During the Great Depression, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was built in the lower part of the meadow below the cabin and consisted of barracks, a bathhouse and mess hall. The CCC has worked on many projects in the area, including fire lookouts, trails, bridges, roads and planting trees after forest fires. After the CCC camp closed in 1939, the guard station was used by various agencies until 1976. Today, the site offers guests year-round recreation and relaxation in Olympic National Forest. Access to the cabin is by vehicle; however, snow chains may be required in winter. The cabin offers several amenities, but guests will need to bring a few of their own supplies for a truly enjoyable stay.

We had a lovely time staying in this cabin and exploring some of the nature in the Olympic National Park nearby. Despite what the information on Recreation.gov says, this cabin does have a flushing toilet inside, rather than an outhouse. So we were pleasantly surprised to find this amenity. All of the appliances worked quite well, and we were very comfortable during our stay.

We had a great stay at Louella cabin with our 3 kids. A great base camp for hiking in the area. Quiet and private location. Not luxurious but more comfortable than a tent. Stove and fridge work well. Recommend bringing your own pots/pans/plate/utensils. Would visit again. .

Our stay at the cabin was nothing short of extraordinary! It perfectly blended the rustic charm of camping with the comforts of home, creating a truly unique experience. The cabin's cozy atmosphere made us feel right at one with nature.

The location was ideal for exploring the breathtaking sights of Olympic National Park. We had easy access to stunning destinations like Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, and Sol Duc, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the park's natural beauty.

If you're looking for a memorable getaway that combines adventure with comfort, this cabin is an absolute must-visit!

Great place to stay. Love the fact that it has heat,electricity and cooking facilities.
The porta pottie is close enough to be convenient in the cool mornings and evenings. Great access to some nice day hikes and walks up the road near by.
