Built in 1934, the small cabin is significant for its association with park visitation patterns, auto camping, and NPS rustic architecture.

It is a single-story rectangular building constructed of an exposed-log framing system with vertical-plank siding.

The building rests on a concrete-pier foundation and is covered by a log-frame side-gable roof surfaced with wood shingles.

Pole purlins and rafters are exposed and the roof features a stone chimney extending from the gable ridge.

A 2-step stoop of coursed, cut stone provides access to the vertical-plank door offset within the north elevation.
