The cabin is located within the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. It is accessible only by pack trail or by river. It is located on a river bench north of the Salmon River, about 50 feet (15 m) west of Smith Gulch, which brings a small stream to the river.[2]

It is a single-room log cabin with a gable roof, built of peeled logs. It has three tiers of horizontal logs, above which are vertical poles about 6 inches (15 cm) to 11 inches (28 cm) in diameter rising up to 2 by 6 inches (51 mm × 152 mm) plates at the eaves.[2]
