Big Meadow Cabin

Big Meadows Cabin is nestled at the edge of Big Meadows at an elevation of 7,600 feet and provides a wonderful view of the meadow and surrounding mountains. You will enjoy moments of sitting on the front porch, taking in the views and breathing the fresh air.

Big Meadows Guard Station was constructed between 1933 and 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, (CCC) to provide a residence for Forest Service fire patrolmen stationed in that area. In 1964, the Forest Service no longer needed the use of the cabin. The cabin is 900 square feet, single story and consists of a bedroom with a closet, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen with a service porch. The original cabinets, living room and bedroom flooring, and bath fixtures remain. The interior has been slightly modified. The cabin is available for overnight rental from June 15 to Oct. 15 (depending on weather, the reservation period may be extended).
