## Overview

Located in the northeast portion of Olympic National Forest, Louella Cabin
offers guests a unique lodging experience. It was built in 1912 by Forest
Service employee, E. M. Cheney, who dedicated the structure to his wife,
Louella. A fireguard was stationed at the cabin during the summer and fall.
During the Great Depression, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was
built in the lower part of the meadow below the cabin and consisted of
barracks, a bathhouse and mess hall. The CCC has worked on many projects in
the area, including fire lookouts, trails, bridges, roads and planting trees
after forest fires. After the CCC camp closed in 1939, the guard station was
used by various agencies until 1976. Today, the site offers guests year-round
recreation and relaxation in Olympic National Forest. Access to the cabin is
by vehicle; however, snow chains may be required in winter. The cabin offers
several amenities, but guests will need to bring a few of their own supplies
for a truly enjoyable stay.

## Recreation

The cabin is conveniently located near the Buckhorn Wilderness, which offers
excellent opportunities for backpacking, horseback riding, hunting, mountain
climbing and hiking, with over 58 miles of trails. Anglers will enjoy fishing
the Dungeness River, and are drawn to it for steelhead and cutthroat trout, as
well as chinook, coho and pink salmon. The river has its headwaters high on
Mount Mystery in Olympic National Park, and descends into Dungeness Bay on the
Strait of Juan de Fuca.

## Facilities

The four-room cabin can accommodate six people. The living room has a futon.
One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has twin bunk beds. The kitchen has
a table and chairs, cook stove, refrigerator, dishes, pots, silverware and
cooking utensils. The cabin also has electricity and a propane heater. Propane
is furnished. There is also a fire ring near the cabin for outdoor barbecuing
and campfires, as well as a covered picnic table. Potable water and an indoor
toilet are available. There are no shower facilities. Guests need to provide
their own sleeping bags, pillows, flashlights, towels, dish soap, matches,
cleaning supplies first aid kit, toilet paper and garbage bags. All trash and
food must be packed out, and guests are expected to clean the cabin before
leaving. Please leave nothing behind, if you would like to make a donation of
goods to the cabin please contact the Ranger Station for a list of needs.

## Natural Features

Louella Cabin sits on a gentle slope overlooking a valley and flanked by a
canopy of towering Douglas fir.  
  
Buckhorn Wilderness is accessible from the cabin. Located in the northeast
corner of Olympic National Forest, the wilderness area is divided into
northern and southern portions by the Dungeness River. The northern portion
descends from higher mountainous terrain to lowlands, heavily forested in fir,
hemlock, and cedar with an understory of moss, ferns, and berry bushes. South
of the river, the terrain soars skyward to alpine meadows and rocky ridges.  
  
Magnificent old-growth western hemlock, western red cedar and Douglas fir
dominate the forest, providing habitat for elk, black-tailed deer, black bears
and mountain lions.
