Item Description

Enjoy a summer weekend at beautiful Horseshoe Lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park. This exclusive stay is located at a great lake for fishing and at the junction of several hiking trails. This will be a wonderfully rustic experience where you will hike in your bedrolls (bunks for four), food, cooking utensils, and fishing gear.

The Horseshoe Lake Ranger Station in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California is a backcountry ranger station that was built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor in 1934. The cabin typifies National Park Service standard designs for such structures in the prevailing National Park Service Rustic style then used by the Park Service. It is the only such example of a standard-plan backcountry ranger station in Lassen Volcanic National Park. There were originally two structures at the site, the residence, and a now-vanished barn.

The interior comprises a large living room measuring 20 feet (6.1 m) by 13 feet (4.0 m), a kitchen and a bedroom. A former enclosed porch functions as a storeroom. An attic is used for storage, and floors are oiled wood. The living room and bedroom feature a stone fireplace.

Construction of what was then called the Horseshoe Lake Fireguard Station and Barn started in 1934 and was completed on October 22 of that year. The Horseshoe Lake Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 5, 1978.
