Rosebud cabin was built in 1958. As you can see on this map, it is located near Cedar cabin, the Camp Commander's residence, away from all of the other guest cabins.
In 1959, when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev visited Camp David, the Rosebud cabin was used to house agents from the U.S. Secret Service and the Soviet Security team. The graphic below shows the Rosebud cabin being assigned to security personnel for the Khrushchev visit. The list came from the Camp David Operations Plan for that visit.
