Cozy, small, one room cabin and an outhouse with a sink, solar bag shower, and composting toilet. Propane heat and single burner for heating up some coffee or a snack. Large beautiful deck with fire-pit and grill and peaceful river sounds. forest views sits on 4 acres. Park right next to the cabin with a 4x4/AWD or 50ft away with any vehicle. The Fisherman’s Cabin, hosted by Huts and Hills, has a wild and unique history. Originally it was built by two professors from Berkeley College as an annual mountain campsite. They used to make the pilgrimage every year from California to Colorado to come relax in the wonderful forest of the Lost Acres National Park. At the turn of the century, the Denver Wheel Club used to have their headquarters right next to the river just down Insmont Dr. and hosted a big bike race every year. This was before there was even a road to the mountains, and the only real public access to these lands were via the train from Denver! Today the Fisherman's Cabin is just a hop, skip and a jump outside downtown Bailey, Colorado and close to many mountain passes like Guanella and Kenosha. There are local hiking, fishing, hunting, biking, and animal watching activities waiting to be experienced. Sleeps 2 plus invite up to 6 friends for camping and goodtimes!

Second Stay

Great little cabin to hide away in for the weekend. This was actually our second stay since we liked it so much the first time.

Cabin Love!!

My niece and I loved our stay at the fisherman's cabin. Got in just in time to settle in and get the lay of the land before dark. However we realized even after dark the cabin and front patio arr well lit. We opted the play some cards and do some paints, even left one of our pots with some foraged flowers for the next guest to enjoy.

Fisherman's Cabin

We had a great stay. All went smoothly. The cabin and amenities were as advertised - simple basic necessities to commune with nature. We love the outdoor fireplace. Bring your battery pack to charge your phone.

Fisherman's Cabin

Rustic, but well-appointed cabin & outhouse. Being set on a hill it required the supervision of our 2-year-old. Fine for slightly older kids. Pretty private with neighbors some distance away. Easy access to the little town of Bailey and North Fork Platte. The river access from the cabin was blocked during our stay but Simon was going to look into it.
