Side by Side group

Our group of 6 stayed here to off road for a long weekend. This house is perfectly located for the trails we like. the trailer parking is tight but they have made an area at the bottom of the hill, so we just took turns driving up, unloading and then backing down the driveway with the trailers. The house is beautiful, and we had plenty of room. We would stay again!

Many nice features

This cabin had one of the best back yard/fire pit area. It is a nice location, right off Highway 385. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well supplied for cooking onsite. I don’t recall that the ad mentioned it is on open range. We had cattle visiting the yard daily. Another downfall of this cabin is the comfort of their beds. New beds would definitely make this a more desirable place to stay! Overall we enjoyed our stay at this cabin!
