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.

Really needs to have a propane heater to help but once you get the fire roaring it heats up quick. Someone with less fire starting abilities would have a hard time with it as it was a tricky fireplace

If you want to get away from everything and relax, this is the place. Very peaceful, only sounds of nature. We'll come again!

This cabin is in an ideal setting, surrounded by a river, streams, nature, wildlife. Great for hiking, sitting, fishing, whatever you enjoy. Meadows cabin has the necessities, but needs an update. Your stay depends on how the previous guests left things. When we arrived, it could have been cleaner. Plenty of wood. We had a great time.
