The cabin is situated among firs and pines overlooking the meadow. Cattle or deer can often be seen grazing in the field in the early morning and evening hours.

The lookout tower at nearby Tobias Peak, elevation 8,300 feet, has views of Mt. Whitney, the Golden Trout Wilderness and the Great Western Divide.
