The Anthony Lakes Guard Station is a historic Civilian Conservation Corps log cabin built in the 1930s. Nestled in the subalpine setting of the Elkhorn Mountains near Anthony Lake the cabin can now be yours for a mini-vacation. This comfortable, rustic two-story cabin features a kitchen, a full bathroom with a flush toilet and hot shower, three bedrooms (two upstairs and one downstairs), propane heater and electric lights. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric stove and refrigerator, as well as cooking and eating utensils and place settings. Cell phone reception is limited outside of the cabin. Due to the historic nature of the cabin it is not an accessible facility.

For all of the logging done in the Pacific Northwest, very few of the Forest Service cabins were built of logs, making Anthony Lakes Guard Station, nestled in the alpine setting of the Elkhorn Mountains, a rare and romantic gem. Hike through the miles of wilderness or sit on the large covered front porch and watch for hawks and osprey. Sit back and daydream about the life of a homesteader, taming wild lands and eking out a living.  Popular activities include fishing, boating, hiking, taking photos, studying wildflowers or napping.

Anthony Lake forms the source of Anthony Creek, named for William 'Doc' Anthony, an ambitious homesteader who came to Baker County in 1864. He was a farmer and a doctor, collected tolls on the Dealy Wagon Road for a spell, and ran the ranch until his death at 85 in 1914.
