Tilly Jane Cabins

The Tilly Jane Cabins are a favorite destination for today’s outdoors minded folks. “You can still have an experience very similar to the early mountain pioneers”, said Andre Fortin, the current volunteer cabin caretaker.

Most folks park in at the winter snow park and hike up and spend a night or two at the cabins in winter months. In summer, you can drive to within a ¼ mile of the cabins and hike your gear over from the Tilly Jane campground parking lot. The A-Frame is rustic with no running water or electricity. There are many trails to explore both in summer and winter and it’s always fun to climb up to the stone hut when the weather allows.

The cabins are currently managed by the all-volunteer, Oregon Nordic Club and are available for public rental. Rentals are managed by Recreation.gov. To learn more about the cabins, please visit the Oregon Nordic Club website.
