About Roberts Cabin

Roberts Cabin is one of the recognized historic cabins in Pike & San Isabel National Forests. The primitive cabin dates back to the mining and railroad era of the 1880s, and is eligible for placement in the National Register of Historic Places. Through the ages, the structure has been used as a residence, a blacksmith's shop and stables. In 1993, the piece of history was restored to its original form and converted for use as a cabin rental.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Clean and no mice, perfect for our family of 4. The last morning a bull moose came to visit too!

One note for those with young children: because of the history of the property there is a lot of rusted metal around the immediate area. We were able to tell our kids to be careful but a heads up for anyone who might be concerned.

Awesome rustic cabin in a beautiful location. The beds were in great shape, and we had a wonderful time! Plus - the outhouse was the nicest outhouse I've been in for a long time. Thanks to the folks who keep it in such great shape!

We enjoyed your stay at Robert's Cabin. It is relatively secluded and really a cool experience. It is pretty cool to imagine yourself living in the cabin back in the days that it was built.

We were pretty freaked out when we arrived and there was a sign in the doorway about mice and the Hantavirus. The place smelled like bleach, so we weren't sure if there had been some active cleaning of nests/mice before we arrived. There were also activated mice traps all over the edges of the place on the main and top floors. However, we didn't see or hear any mice during out one day and night there.

There were propane lanterns, a normal and usable broom, info, some random gear for camping, some books and games. The mattresses were stored in tarps that were zipped up when we arrived. So we felt safe on them. We used our sleeping bags on top because we didn't know to bring sheets and blankets. I think they were all twin size? There were a total of 5 beds I believe - on on the main level and 4 up top.

It was SUPER cold overnight. I didn't realize the cabin was at 11,000 feet elevation, so definitely something to be aware of, especially if you have young kids or are sensitive to elevation. We were quite cold even with all the windows shut and in June. It's also a little spooky in there at night. We definitely made good use of our headlamps : )

The view is spectacular and having the whole property to yourself is really magnificent. There is a fire pit and a couple axes so you can make your own fire and hang out there at night if there isn't a fire ban. Overall, I would say this was one of the highlights of our vacation. It was really a unique once in a lifetime experience. And one night is prob enough : )

bring lots of wood with you, the walk to the outhouse is scary at night, it was slick on the bridge across the creek. Need lots of light with the shutters closed, so bring your heavy-duty sleeping bags hand wipes and cleaners and lights, no campfires outside, burn ban. the brooms there were worn out and no mop or mop bucket if you can't climb narrow steep steps then plan ahead, cots might be a good idea. wash tubs and cook stove also needed and full water jugs.

Beautiful location and neat history! Cabin is beautifully restored. Needs some TLC. A good clean, holes filled to protect from the mice, and new mattresses.

This was so cool. I have truly never stayed in a place like this. I also could not believe how affordable it was. I’ve spent more money on campsites. I could not recommend Robert’s Cabin more. The one thing is bring lots of lighting.

There was trash, gun shells and orange disks scratched on the property. An employee showed up unannounced and without a mask. We rented the the cabin in the middle of nowhere to avoid people, but they showed up. I felt he was there to check up on us. The cabin itself is great.
