About this property

Mountain Top Cabin Refuge

Come relax and enjoy "The Caboose"; a cozy, rustic, all log cabin built in 1959 and renovated in 2022. Stay in and just relax or go outside and play in God's country. Located at 33 Upper Road, just 40 minutes West of beautiful Laramie, Wyoming.

Small two bedroom (1 bedroom, 1 large loft with ladder), very comfortable size for 1 family. The loft, see pictures, has shorter railings so isn't ideal for small children.

The cabin is nestled up to Medicine Bow National Forest with millions of acres of recreational opportunities which include but are not limited to:
- Groomed, marked and maintained snowmobile trails. Approx. 1/2-mile drive to trial head. Maps available online or at local forest service office.
- An old railroad bed turned bike trail "Rails to Trails". Approx. 3-mile drive to trial head. Maps available online or at local forest service office.
- 2 nearby historic Bar/restaurants... 1. Wycolo bar and restaurant is approximately 2 miles West on hwy. 230 with the groomed trail leading there in the winter months.
2. Historic Woods Landing is about a 10 min. drive back down the mountain towards Laramie with great food, good people and a dance floor.
- Mountain streams, ponds and small lakes for fishing. Close to Miller Lake, Lake Owen and Rob Roy Reservoir.
- Hunting of all kinds
- Atv, utv trails, 4x4 trails and countless roads to explore.
- Hiking, Geocaching, exploring some of the historic mining camps/towns.

****Please be advised (see map photo in pictures), the cabin is only accessible by conventional vehicles from June-December. The remainder of the year, the caboose is an easy 0.5-mile walk, snowshoe, snowmobile, cross country ski etc. trip in from a very large parking lot that is plowed all winter. Snowstorms are not always predictable and may last days. The lot is plowed within 24 hours of every storm, but four-wheel drive vehicles are highly advised.

Due to mountain roads being impassable during winter months Snowy Range ski area is a 1 hour drive from the Caboose cabin. Skiers would have to drive 30 miles back down towards Laramie on hwy 230 and take Big Hallow cut across, then 30 minutes West on hwy 130 to get to the Ski area. It is closer to stay in Laramie or Centennial.

Cabin stay

Quaint rustic cabin in secluded area. Really enjoyed the cabin and exploring the surrounding area. Medicine Bow national Forest was awesome. Rob Roy Reservoir was also a great day trip. We were definitely returned. Cabin was very simple, but had everything we needed.

Great place to stay and get away for a bit. The cabin has a lot of space and a lot of neat decorations as well. Definitely punch in the actual address if you’re using GPS. Using the map from the app will take you through past it. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Small Family Spot

We stayed here over Memorial Day Weekend. It was near where the rest of our family was staying and perfectly accommodated myself, my husband and our 2 year old. I LOVED all of the touches with having accommodations for a toddler, lots of toys, kids seating etc. The host even set up the pack n play for us before our arrival. We were getting there close to dark so I was a little nervous driving in and making sure we were getting to the right place, but all of the info provided by the host was so helpful. And the host was very communicative!

Great cabin in the woods

We generally stay at free standing VRBO's since we have to dogs we travel with and it makes life easier. The Caboose is a great place to stay if you want to get some peace and quiet out in the woods (but not far from a major road). The cabin has everything you would need, just bring food. There are lots of old knickknacks to look at, which makes it a little cluttered, but there is still plenty of room to enjoy your stay. The cabin was very clean and so quiet! The bed was comfy and there was plenty of hot water, although the shower pressure was a little weak. The Wi-Fi is spotty but adequate. Would stay here again if we were to stay in the area.

Awesome cabin

This was a great base camp. We went on many adventures from the cabin. We don’t like all the busy of being in town. Quiet is what we look for. If your looking for the same look no further. It’s a short drive to anything you would want to do in the area. The cabin is clean and FULLY stocked. Anything you would want to make can be made. Just bring your groceries. The AWESOME wood fired stove will cook it. It’s electric also. My only complaint is our vacation ended and we had to leave. Eric is a great host and needs many more families to go and enjoy his little slice of heaven. Eric, thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. Hopefully it created some core memories for my children. I know it did for us. God speed my friend, best of luck.

Peaceful and quiet

A little tricky to find. Google Maps and Waze both were confused, but we eventually found it. I wish we would have had a phone number for the host prior to arrival. The cabin had a few quirks such as an old, electric stove that presented some challenges, a very deep tub/shower that was hard for me to get into and out of. The microwave was a bit too high for me to reach and although the bed was too high to get into easily, it was incredibly comfortable. My son and I were able to overcome the quirks and would definitely book this property again. Our goal was to get away from the 4th of July war zone in our neighborhood outside of Denver and that was accomplished. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped and the property was clean. They even had filled water bowls for our dog, Baxter, which was such a thoughtful touch. We enjoyed walking around the property and surrounding woods. The wildflowers were in bloom and were breath taking. We'd live to return in the Fall. I'm sure it would be spectacular.

We had a great time and the cabin was beautiful! Such a wonderful spot. The only reason we gave a 4 star rating was that the neighbors were doing some construction and it was quite loud with several cement trucks. Absolutely not the host's fault and we would definitely stay again.

WOW! Can't wait to go back to the Caboose Cabin

This was exactly what we had hoped to find for a quick "end of summer break" getaway. We have stayed in and around Medicine Bow three times before, once in the winter to snowmobile. This summer visit was the best yet, riding the trails in our Honda Talon. Plenty of room to park our trailer, and access directly to the forest service trails. We saw lots of wildlife, and caught some trout from Douglas Creek and from the South Jelm Laramie river access which was less than 20 minutes away in the pickup. Rob Roy Reservoir is beautiful, as is the drive up to Lake Owen. Eric had the place immaculate and ready to go for us in spite of a quick turn, with renters there the day before we arrirved. We appreciated the decor of the cabin greatly, and in case anyone is wondering there is a fully functional indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, and plenty of towels. The full size fridge and electric range were perfect, and I used the coffee maker daily. Thanks for the first what I hope will be may return visits to your place. Steve, Kelley and Cooper
