About Ludlum House
The Ludlum House is situated at the base of a mixed-conifer forest at the confluence of Wheeler Creek and the Winchuck River in southwestern Oregon, offering guests a unique setting for recreation and relaxation. The house was rebuilt in 1999 as a near-replica of the original two-story Ludlum family vacation house. Mr. Ludlum, an oil-company executive, constructed the house in 1939, then sold the property to the Forest Service following World War II. The accessible home offers some of the amenities needed for a comfortable lodging experience, although guests will need to bring several of their own supplies to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay. Hiking, wildlife viewing and fishing top the list of recreational opportunities in the area surrounding the Ludlum House. Just steps away from the banks of the Winchuck River, the cabin provides fantastic fishing opportunities for Coho salmon…
