History
ur
traders first arrived in the Pacific Northwest during the early nineteen
hundreds, but with the borders of the United States still expanding, pioneers
with the intention of settling in the region didn't arrive until several
decades later. Around the turn of the nineteenth century, a family discovered
the unspoiled beauty of the area now called Buck Quarter Ranch.
The Settlers Farm, so named for the original homesteaders who came to this territory over a century ago, is found at the southern edge of Melancholy Moose Lake. The settler's legacy lives on in the architecturally rebuilt cabin. With archivally numbered original log walls, period artifacts, an ultra-modern kitchen, and premium fixtures in its full bath, the cabin is rustic artistry with creature comforts.
The other historic cabin on the ranch, the Railroad House, is an 85-year-old home that was originally built elsewhere for a rail stationmaster. It has been fully restored and modernized on its present site.
