Kathy Hendricks purchased this Cabin in 2003

Why Kathy Hendricks chose Orofino

The cabin is located on the property next to our primary residence so we are close by if you need anything. We love the location of our properties because we are close to the Clearwater River, Dworshak Reservoir and just 60 minutes from the Clearwater National Forest. We are on 50 very private acres at the end of the road yet we are only 5 miles from downtown Orofino and our airplane which is based at the Orofino Airport.

What makes this Cabin unique

We love all the privacy and space on the property. We can run our dog off-leash on the cabin road without worrying about traffic. There is always some sort of wildlife to view on the property. Frequent visitors are whitetail deer, coyotes, turkey, eagles, hawks and pheasant. We often spot elk however they are a bit more elusive. We have seen black bear on the property, but it is a rare and delightful treat. There is something to enjoy about each of the four seasons. Spring brings long days; lush, green pastures and lots of wildflowers. We enjoy floating the Clearwater River in the hot summer. Our favorite, however, is Fall and Winter hunting seasons. Another Fall favorite is the start of bonfire season which begins October 21.
