Mingus Ranch cabin is a great little cabin to get away to. It is rustic and takes you back to a quiet and peaceful time. There are beds, pots and pans, dishes and silverware. A stove with oven and 2 burners. There is no water or fridge so bring glasses, coolers with ice and your own bedding for a great get away.

The cabin was very nice and peaceful, the view exactly what we wanted. Be prepared however that there is no shade during most of the day.
