About
Aspen Cabin is a historic log cabin tucked away in a mature forest of ponderosa pine, fir, and aspen in the North Warner Mountains. Built in 1930, it originally served as an administrative cabin and fire guard station for the U.S. Forest Service, and later functioned as a warming shelter for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers during the 1990s. Today, this one-room cabin offers guests a secluded, rustic lodging experience in a landscape abundant with wildlife and wildflowers. The cabin accommodates up to four people and is furnished with four cots, a dining table and chairs, countertop space for food preparation, and a wood stove for heating. Basic cleaning supplies and an axe are provided. Outside, guests will find a picnic table, campfire ring, and vault toilet. There is no water on-site; guests must bring sufficient water for drinking, cooking, and washing, or fill water jugs at Mud Creek Campground approximately 1.5 miles away. Firewood can be gathered from downed and dead wood in the surrounding area, but cutting standing trees is prohibited. The cabin provides an ideal base for exploring the North Warner Mountains. Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail is located three miles southwest at the Walker Trailhead, and the Drake McDowell Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area lies two miles to the east. The area offers excellent opportunities for hiking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. In winter, the location is popular for skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. The surrounding forest is home to deer, elk, and diverse bird species including sandhill cranes and woodpeckers, while wildflowers such as Indian paintbrush, camas, and wild lilies add color to the landscape in late spring and early summer.
