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 spent a lovely July week here, the wildflowers were blooming everywhere. The cabin itself was decent and had the comforts of flush toilet, running water, shower, and propane range, fridge, and lights. The wood stove kept us warm at night when it got down to 40 degrees. There were plenty of logs for splitting outside, and when we stayed there was also a lot of dish ware and cooking pots, even percolators and utensils. The rangers come by here and there to care for the horses out back and they were helpful. There was some light ATV traffic and the rangers but for the most part the cabin is well-secluded and peaceful. You can't see any "neighbors" (like the ranch that is somewhat near by) and can only hear occasional trucks passing on the dirt road across the river. Good shade, caught some trout in the river, awesome stargazing.

Cabin worked out great for a November camping trip. The only rental cabin in the area, I was surprised it was available.

Cabin was clean, convenient, and warm. Some of the chairs are in need of repairing the new latrine at Meadows Cabin is not handicapped assessable . We have a Vietnam chair bound vet that drives to Moose Flat to use latrine. Wood supply was more than adaquate and US forest Service Personnel are always friendly and professional.
