About this site
Overview Willow Prairie Cabin is located in the southwest portion of the Cascade Mountain Range at the foot of Mt. McLoughlin, at an elevation of 4,300 feet. The Willow Prairie Guard Station cabin was constructed on the edge of the meadow in 1924 by a Forest Service road crew.
Its main purpose at that time was as a firefighter guard station. In 1990, the cabin was converted to a horse camp and was recently restored by local volunteers and employees of the Butte Falls Ranger District. Today it is available for rent by groups with or without horses.
Recreation The cabin is adjacent to the Willow Prairie Campground , and surrounded by 19 plus miles of horse trails. The wetlands adjacent to the cabin provide an excellent area for birding enthusiasts to watch for sandhill cranes, great blue herons, Canada geese, ducks and red-tailed hawks. Facilities The one-room cabin can accommodate up to four people, it is furnished with 2 bunk beds that do not have mattresses.
The cabin has two shutter-style windows without glass, a wood stove for heat, and rustic furnishings, including a table and chairs. There is counter space for meal preparation and places to hang lanterns. Potable water is not provided.
Outside amenities include a campfire ring and picnic table for outdoor dining. Firewood is often available and intended for indoor use only, however the supply cannot be guaranteed. The supply may run low and what is there may have to be split by the visitor with the tools provided.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own. A vault toilet is located in the adjacent campground near the cabin. Guests must supply their own camp stove, cookware, utensils, dishes, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, towels, dish soap, matches, first aid kit, light source and garbage bags.
There are four 12 x 12 foot paddocks and water troughs near the cabin for up to four horses.
