There is also plenty of parking.

This cabin is not just a place to stay, it is a UNIQUE AND REAL EXPERIENCE far into the national forest. It is not located a development, it is off by itself. As a result, the absolute silence that you will witness is something to behold. Are you up for the adventure Please message us with questions.

Experience complete off grid living at 6,000 feet with every convenience of a modern home, including Starlink internet, smart TV for streaming movies after a long day of fun, and propane heat. The entire property is solar powered, yet it runs so seamlessly it’s hard to even tell it’s 7 miles from the nearest power line. The Ranger Cabin was built in 1900 and has been completely remodeled while maintaining its original charm. It can comfortably sleep 4 in the main home with the convertible daybed sectional on the 4 season porch. There is also a detached bunkhouse that features a full/twin bunk bed with storage, electricity, and propane heat.

Through the remodel, the foremost goal was to create a comfortable and cozy space that allows you to feel part of the woods. The furnishings are high end - RH chairs, Inside Weather Sofa, Purple 3 king mattress, and many hand made accent pieces. If you are looking for a break from a busy world, this is an oasis and what it was designed to be!
