Rhodes Cabin, Log cabin in Great Basin National Park, White Pine County, Nevada, United States
Rhodes Cabin is a one-room log cabin near the entrance to Lehman Caves in Great Basin National Park. It measures 19 by 11 feet (5.8 by 3.4 meters) and has two doors, four windows, and a dirt floor.
Local contractor Charles Davis built this structure in 1928 to serve as lodging for park concessioners Clarence and Bea Rhodes. The state of Nevada purchased it in 1932 and transferred ownership to the National Park Service shortly after.
The cabin is now part of an interpretive exhibit at Great Basin National Park. Its name comes from Clarence and Bea Rhodes, the concessioners who ran tourist services at Lehman Caves, and the building stands as one of the last surviving structures of its era in the park.
The cabin stands near the entrance to Lehman Caves, where the interpretive exhibit that now incorporates it can be seen. It is one of the last surviving structures of its era in the park, so visitors walking the cave-area paths pass it directly.
The cabin started as a private business venture for the Rhodes family before becoming public property. It remains a reminder of how early national parks balanced commercial operations with land conservation.
