The Fisherman’s Cabin is a charming and cozy retreat nestled in the heart of Rocky Mountains. This small, one-room cabin offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Enjoy the rustic comforts complete with an outhouse equipped with a sink, a solar shower bag for a refreshing wash, and a composting toilet, ensuring your stay is both sustainable and comfortable. For warmth, the cabin features a propane heater, and a single-burner stove provides a place to heat up some coffee or cook a simple meal while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Step outside to the cabin’s large, inviting deck, where you’ll find a fire-pit and large grill, perfect for a cozy evening under the stars. The soothing sound of the nearby river adds to the tranquility of the area, creating an ideal setting to unwind. The cabin sits on a beautiful 4-acre plot, surrounded by forest that gives great access into the National Forest surroundings. You can park right next to the cabin with a 4x4 or AWD vehicle, or park at the bottom of the driveway for a short 50-foot walk from the cabin, if you’re driving a regular car. The Fisherman’s Cabin, hosted by Huts and Hills, has a rich and fascinating history. Originally built by two professors from Berkeley College, the cabin was designed as an annual mountain retreat. Each year, they would journey from California to Colorado, seeking peace and relaxation in the serene forests of the Lost Acres National Park. At the turn of the century, the nearby Denver Wheel Club, with its headquarters right by the river on Insmont Drive, would host a major bike race every year. Back then, the area had no roads, and the only way to access these lands was by train from Denver, making it an even more remote and special destination. Today, the Fisherman’s Cabin is conveniently located just a short distance outside downtown Bailey, Colorado. It offers easy access to various mountain passes such as Guanella and Kenosha. The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering countless opportunities for hiking, fishing, hunting, biking, and wildlife watching. Whether you're an adventurer looking to ride world class mountain bike trails, climb mountains, or just trying to relax, this spot has something for everyone.* This cozy cabin is perfect for adventurers. * It sleeps 2 but we allow up to 6 on the property and tents anywhere around the cabin. * Off-grid cabin life with all the amenities you need and nothing you don't! Propane powered indoor heater and cooking burner, outdoor grill, and outdoor propane fire pit. * Kitchenette stocked with kettle / percolator, cups, plates, pots and pans, basic cooking utensils, and more. Grilling on the deck in this serene wilderness is a great way to spend an evening. * The bathroom has a tub and a sink which both drain.  * Provided shower bag can be used in the shower or the two sinks. * We no longer provide water, you must bring your own. * Composting toilet with extra TP. * Small battery lamp with extra batteries and candles. * Private area, neighbors are far away but please be respectful! * An 8'x10' ft inside space provides all you need for 2 people and the deck has all the dance floor you need at about triple that size! * Outdoor seatings and dinner table setting. * Sounds of the Platte River. * Please see the map images to see where to park for your vehicle (2x4 / 4x4). * Unfortunately, no pets allowed only because the neighbor has a dog that walks around and will bark a lot. --- IMPORTANT INFO --- * No fires allowed * No running water, but there is a provided water bag for the sink / shower. * There is no electricity, indoor lights are battery operated and outdoor lights are solar powered.
