Public Remarks: Very cool and cozy cabin, sitting on 2.27 private acres. Made of structural D logs, nestled in lodgepole pines and aspens this is a wonderful getaway. Surrounded by spectacular vistas of the James Peak Wilderness, the Indian Peaks Wilderness and the Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forests. Lots of wildlife, close to hiking, skiing, and the quiet enjoyment of nature. The cabin packs living, dining, and kitchen and bedroom areas into 416 well planned square feet. A large stone fireplace with an insert keeps the cabin warm on cold days/nights. A deck, and close level areas around the cabin offer nice outdoor spaces. There is a one-car detached garage, and three other out buildings for storage, a studio, and possibly a guest room. Right now the cabin is set up as a 2nd home. There is a 120 day/yr occupancy limit or 90 day continual stay. There is a well, with new pump, and an outhouse. The cabin comes furnished. See list of furnishings in the document section.
