Fernow Cabin

Fernow Cabin offers a truly unique experience as a repurposed U.S. Forest Service guard station. Originally built in the 1970s to house firefighters, this rustic three-bedroom log cabin provides a charming, forested retreat for groups of up to eight people. Its location in central Arizona places you in a stunning, tranquil setting that feels worlds away from the daily grind while remaining accessible for a quick mountain escape.

The cabin is situated in a beautiful, wooded landscape that serves as an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests have direct access to a variety of hiking and biking trails right outside the door. Whether you are looking to explore the scenic surroundings or simply relax by the fire ring with a picnic, the natural beauty of the Southwest is always on full display. Please note that while the site is accessible by passenger vehicle, the final mile of the road requires caution, and high-clearance vehicles are highly recommended.

Facilities on-site include essential amenities such as vault toilets, showers, and picnic tables to ensure a comfortable stay. Firewood is available for those cozy evenings spent outdoors. This site is exceptionally beginner-friendly and perfect for families or small groups looking to trade traditional tent camping for a historic cabin experience. With year-round availability, it is a versatile destination for any season.
