What’s Provided
The 1,000 square-foot cabin includes two bedrooms (sleeps seven), a full bathroom, and a mudroom. The living room, dining bar, and kitchen combine to make a “great room,” and the cabin includes a washer-dryer, microwave, full kitchen, dishwasher and range. The structure is heated by baseboard electric heat, as well as a wood-burning stove. A natural underground spring provides water to the cabin, as well as to a frost-free hydrant in the yard. Local phone service is provided and long distance service may be accessed by calling card. There is currently no cellular phone service in the area.
Immediate Cabin Area
A .6-mile-long gravel road connects the main ranch road with the cabin. You can hunt and hike immediately outside the cabin doors. Wildlife is visible from the cabin and in the surrounding forest and meadows. A small creek passes behind and beside the cabin. Fishing for pan-sized brook trout is .6 miles away in Warm Spring Creek, while Cutthroat trout, up to 24 inches, can be caught in small, but picturesque Castle Lake — after a scenic 2.5-mile hike.
