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!

Fisherman's Cabin

Weekend Getaway!!

This is a great little cabin for quick weekend getaways. The small cabin is adorably decorated and has a comfortable bed, a lounge chair, and a small countertop with a single propane burner for morning coffee. Right out the door is a large deck with a great view, grill, propane fireplace and plenty of seating. There's a sink around the corner for washing dishes. About 50 feet behind the cabin is an outhouse with a sink and shower. Water for the sinks and shower come from 5-gallon solar shower bags that work great (my shower water was 104* after laying the bag in the sun for a few hours). You can see some other cabins/houses through the trees but overall, this place is very private. Bailey, CO is 10 minutes away and the 2 Dads Taproom has great pizzas, beer, and cocktails...oh and a magnificent view of the Platte River if you sit outside. We will be back when we need a break from life
