About Meadows Cabin

The historic Meadows Guard Station is a quiet hideaway beneath tall pines, where deer graze in the open meadow pasture nearby. Located 29 miles from Alpine, the cabin allows horses and provides corrals. Built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the cabin presents a year-round backcountry playground for activities like horseback riding, fishing, off-road vehicle riding and snowmobiling. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, guests have the convenience of a shower and flush toilet. Horse corrals are available, but horses cannot be turned out into the pasture.

We love the Meadows Cabin. We found it relatively clean; if we clean and wipe everything down when we get there we enjoy our stay more and it is an easy quick clean when we leave.
We could not find the ax, but plenty of wood was available and some had been split. Also the match box was empty. We brought our own supplies but noticed everything was low. On other visits there has been soap, matches and other cleaning supplies. Maybe others have left them there.
The river was high, the flowers in bloom or starting to bloom and the meadow lush and green.
We saw some deer with huge antlers (lots of velvet), a snake on the trail, and what we thought were bear tracks on the mountain. We have never seen a bear at Meadows but we also thought we heard one on this visit. During previous years on other visits we gave seen lots of deer, moose with a calf, a mountain lion, a bobcat, snakes, sheep and sheepdogs and the rangers horses. We have enjoyed visiting 9 times.
As we were leaving on the way back down to Alpine we watched and followed some kayakers navigate the river. That was fun to see. It’s a lovely spot, nice cabin and very quiet on a Monday/Tuesday visit.
We appreciate the folks who take care of it and that we and others can enjoy the meadow and Meadows Cabin.

We liked everything about this cabin. It is a bit of a drive to get to go on a gravel road. I loved the fact that there was a shower and the refrigerator that was working. Gas lamps are a bit touchy to use. Would definitely go back here again in the fall.
