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.

Louella Cabin was clean, warm and the kitchen had all we needed. It is in a beautiful easily accessible area and a great jumping off point to Olympic peninsula recreation. The mattresses in the bunk room were very uncomfortable.

It was much further from Olympic National Park than I thought. It's pretty run down and the lack of water is a bit difficult. It is also really isolated. In retrospect, I wish we had stayed in Port Angeles.

the cabin had no usable sink. the rugs were dirty and ancient. the mattress cover was stained and dirty. the website said the cabin had no potable water. so we brought our own. but we couldn’t cook inside due to the lack of a sink. we weren’t prepared to cook outside.
i called immediately and asked for some kind of refund. i was denied. TERRIBLE!
