The honeymoon cabin at Roaring River State Park is a small (15' X 29') rectangular cottage with an enclosed porch. Set in a secluded area on a wooded slope, the cabin has a cross-gable roof vertical board and batten siding porch enclosure and the Gables, clapboard on the main block of the building. The foundation is constructed of rough coursed ashlar. Windows of the single-sashed, six-paned and four-paned variety have replaced the original casement windows. Built by the civilian conservation Corps between 1933 and 1939, the building continues to serve as a tourist cabin, called the "honeymoon cabin" because of its secluded location.
– National Register Nomination
The cabin is in good condition. Enclosure on the porch has been removed. It continues to be used as a tourist cabin and can be rented by the night.
