The John R. Nielson Cabin, near Manti, Utah, was built in 1948. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.^[1]

It was built of aspen logs in in Manti-La Sal National Forest, near Swen's Spring, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Manti.^[2] It is located at the end of short Forest Road 1232, a turnoff at Swen's Spring from Forest Road 0046 which comes up the Middle Fork of Manti Canyon, off Forest Road 0045 which comes up Manti Canyon from Manti.^[3]

It is the only surviving "isolated" cabin in Manti-La Sal National Forest; its isolation helped its survival. It was built as a hunting/recreational cabin by the family of John R. and Alice J. Nielson. It has been used by the family and also by many others.^[2]

The cabin was deemed architecturally significant "as a surviving example of the influence of the USFS design guidelines on rustic style cabin construction."^[2]

A Works Progress Administration-era outhouse, moved to the site in 1950, is a second contributing building in the listing.^[2]
