These cabins are on White River National Forest land, and have long-term leases
of the sites through a Special Use Permit with the Forest Service.

This cabin is on Lot A, which is about 1/3 of an acre.

The lot and the surrounding land is heavily forested and secluded.
The Papoose Trail head is nearby and leads to the south through National Forest land and into the Flat Tops Wilderness Area, about 3 miles from the cabin.
Papoose Creek is just about 20 yards from the cabin and the trout fishing is good.
This log cabin was built in 1952 and has 820 square feet of living space, which includes two loft bedrooms, one 3/4 bathroom, a big living room with an open log beam ceiling,
a beautiful rock fireplace, pine floors, & knotty pine walls and kitchen cabinets.

There is a full kitchen with a gas cook top, sink, built-in gas oven, a closet with the newer gas water heater, and plenty of cabinets and countertop. The dining area is in the kitchen.
A door in the kitchen opens onto an enclosed porch on the north side of the cabin,
where the refrigerator is kept. The front porch of the cabin has a roof over it and faces west toward the creek.

The domestic water system is down in the Creek, which supplies only this cabin.

The septic system is shared with two neighboring cabins. The leases do not allow these cabins to be used as year around residences.
