Soda Springs Cabin, Historic spring house in Tuolumne County, United States.

Soda Springs Cabin is a roofless log spring house built over the largest soda spring in Tuolumne Meadows. Its V-notched walls rise about 7 feet (2.1 m) and enclose a space 9 by 11 feet (2.7 by 3.4 m), with a single door on the north side and no windows.

John Baptist Lembert built this cabin in 1889 using V-notched log construction after staking a claim to the land in Tuolumne Meadows in 1885. The structure became part of early human settlement in the region and served to protect the mineral spring from contamination.

The Sierra Club operated the property as a private campground from 1912 to 1972, contributing to recreational development in Yosemite National Park.

This log cabin sits in Tuolumne Meadows and is readily accessible from nearby roads. Visitors should note that access to the interior may be limited, and the site deserves respectful handling as a historic structure.

Lembert was murdered in his winter cabin at Cascade Creek in the winter of 1896–1897 during a robbery, and his obituary ran in Entomological News. Lembert Dome, the granite dome above Tuolumne Meadows, carries his name. The Soda Springs property passed to his brothers, who sold it to J.J. McCauley in 1898.
