Off the grid cabin on private land surrounded by national forest.

This is not a city experience; this is not a suburb experience; this is not even a Centennial or Albany experience.

This is a wilderness experience.

This cabin was not made from a kit. It was made from trees felled right on the spot where the cabin sits, each coarse of logs laid out by hand, without cranes or machines—just man against his own limitations.

It was a labor of love. It was a desire to know how our forefathers did it and how they survived it. He saw the old cabins up there. Along with the old gold mines, there were also those who made ties for the railroad tracks—so much history! He knew men lived up there and endured winters up there. He did his research and decided on a style of cabin passed down from the Swedes.

When the owner first bought this site, he camped in a box in the bad weather, then later in a tepee for the remainder of the build. He has photos and videos of the whole experience.

Though there is running water, it’s from a spring, so it’s not potable (not drinkable), so we highly recommend bringing all your drinking water from home. We normally bring a couple of large containers of tap water with us along with bottled water, depending on the time of year and how many people are coming. The kitchen has a 24” propane gas stove with oven and four burners. I’ve done a lot of cooking and baking up there. There is a small propane refrigerator with a very small freezer. There is a double sink. Dish soap, sponges, and paper towels will be supplied. There will be plates, cups, silverware, pots, and pans available to use.

As we mentioned, the water is not drinkable, but you can use the camp shower in the bath area to wash off after a day out in the wild. Towels will be supplied. There is no toilet inside, but there is an outhouse and a port-a-potty. Toilet paper and wipes will be supplied.

There is a loft with a double bed upstairs, and bunk beds downstairs but no private bedrooms. There are also two folding cots available. But the truth is, you’ll even enjoy it by yourself.

On a clear night, turn off all the cabin lights, look up, and see the night sky without the light pollution of the suburbs—see the Milky Way the way our forefathers did as they crossed this incredible land.

During the day, sway on the porch hammock and leave work and reality behind you.

***Autumn Elk Hunting Special***
***Price at $500 per night (with discout applied for a 7+ day stay)***

Imagine rolling out of bed, getting dressed in your warm dry hunting clothes, and walking down to a comfortable hunting spot overlooking an elk grazing area, only 1/4 mile away.

Imagine coming back to the cabin, stoking up the wood stove, hanging your wet clothes, socks, and boots where they will be dry again by morning. If you’d like, you can relax and watch a movie or kick back with your hunting buddies.

Imagine being out before dawn, then coming back late morning to take a siesta while the elk bed down, and then get back out refreshed and ready for the elk to reappear at dusk.

Imagine a convenient breakfast, lunch, and dinner, whether it’s warm-ups your spouse made in advance or a camp cook you brought along to have meals waiting for you when you get back from your day out.

You don’t have to imagine.

We have had years of successful hunts up at our cozy hunting paradise. Through good weather and bad, we have always had a warm comfortable cabin to come home to, good food, and good company. It was always a great experience, even for the ladies.

You never have to worry about getting the best spot for your elk camp, or any other hunters/campers being too close to your camp site again. The cabin is 1/3 of a mile behind a locked forest service gate. There is even a chain hoist at the cabin to hang your elk from the main beam of the porch.

Elk area 9—general permit.

If you are looking to get away from it all then this would be the place for you. Nestled back in the woods with a panoramic view of the night sky, this cabin is a a perfect retreat. The host was very thoughtful and helpful.
