Thoreau's Cabin: Back to the Basics, Beautifully.
Thoreau's Cabin: Where Stillness Speaks Volumes. Discover your true escape in the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Inspired by the spirit of Thoreau, this charming off-grid cabin offers a serene and comfortable base for exploring the unparalleled beauty of the Colorado Rockies near Ouray, Silverton, and Lake City.
Immerse yourself in nature's embrace with breathtaking panoramic views from large windows and relaxing porches. Inside, a cozy fireplace invites you to unwind after a day of adventure. This unique backcountry retreat provides essential comforts, including solar power, running water, and internet access, allowing you to stay connected while feeling completely removed from the everyday.
Please Note: Thoreau's Cabin is nestled in a remote backcountry setting at nearly 11,500 feet of elevation.

Familiarity with backcountry safety and high-altitude environments is highly recommended.

Unparalleled opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and exploring the stunning San Juan National Forest.
