Phone: 541-558-3746

The College Cabin is 14.0 miles from the Tausick Way/Isaacs Street intersection. Go east on Isaacs Street and it turns into Mill Creek Road. You remain on Mill Creek Road until you turn right onto Neotoma Lane, on which the College Cabin is located.

There are two forks in the road you have to negotiate when locating the College Cabin. The first one is 2.5 miles from the Tausick Way/Isaacs Street intersection. Stay to the left and go over the hill to remain on Mill Creek Road—do not take the lower fork, which is 5 Mile Road.

The second fork in the road is 7.0 miles from the Tausick Way/Isaacs Street intersection. Stay to the right and take the lower fork to remain on Mill Creek Road—do not go to the left and up the hill, as this is Blue Creek Road.

At 11.5 miles from the Tausick Way/Isaacs Street intersection, the pavement will stop and you will be driving on a gravel road (Oregon border). At this point, you are only 2.5 miles away from the College Cabin. After driving 1.5 miles on the gravel road, you will see a sign on your left that states, “Klicker Homestead,” Neotoma Lane is at the bottom of an “S '' curve and is on your right. Turn onto Neotoma Lane and you will see a locked gate. At this point, the College Cabin is 3/10 of a mile down the road. Stay to the left and you will drive over a covered bridge. At this point the road is a single-lane dirt road and very winding; please drive slowly and carefully. You will pass several houses on the right. When you come to a fork in the road, stay to the right and you will pull up directly in front of the Cabin. The College Cabin has an aluminum roof and a small front porch.
