More about Honeymoon Cabin

A small history stopHoneymoon Cabin is a one-room historic cabin at the eastern end of Mineral King Road.

Honeymoon Cabin is a one-room historic cabin at the eastern end of Mineral King Road. It was the last of the small Crowley Resort rental cabins, and photographs and artifacts are displayed inside when it is open. Make it a short stop if you are already heading into Mineral King and enjoy local history; check interior access before building your day around the exhibits.

The Mineral King driveThe cabin sits beside the trailheads for White Chief, Eagle and Mosquito Lakes.

The cabin sits beside the trailheads for White Chief, Eagle and Mosquito Lakes. Getting there takes patience: Mineral King Road is extremely narrow, steep and winding, with unpaved sections. RVs and trailers are not advised. The area is seasonal, generally open from late May through October, and closes in winter because of snow. Plan this as part of a Mineral King outing rather than a quick detour.

The cabin and its nameIt is a one-story, one-room frame building with a high front gable, exposed rafters,…

It is a one-story, one-room frame building with a high front gable, exposed rafters, board-and-batten siding, a wood-shingle roof and a small porch. Point Cabin and Cabin on the Point were its older names; the Honeymoon name came from its romantic setting. For a photo that shows the cabin’s scale, frame the porch and gable together.

A snow slide moved itA slow snow slide from the hill above shifted several nearby cabins in 1932.

A slow snow slide from the hill above shifted several nearby cabins in 1932. This one moved about 8 to 10 feet with little structural damage. It was restored in 1989 and remains part of Mineral King’s historic cabin landscape.
