Roberts Cabin

Really awesome cabins. These ones are for the more authentic early miner experience. There is a second cabin that was a nice surprise, I slept like a baby in the Schwartz cabin, Roberts cabin is pretty rustic, I used it more for storage and hanging out. Its a must to open the window shutters to let more light in, remember to lock them up when youre leaving.
Thanks to whoever left the gas lantern, very useful. It runs off the green gas cans.. I left 8 new mouse traps, feel free to keep them baited up.
If you dont want visitors keep the gate closed. Lots of male cyclists in spandex and jeepers kicking up dust on the road.. A group of 30 jeeps went by all playing Taylor Swift in unison and tailgating each other, it was very strange but also hilarious.
no cell service at the cabin but if you drive 3 minutes up the hill or out towards Como you get service.

I'll be back some day but my wife has already said no

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.

The historic restoration is very cool - rustic and authentic. Surrounding area and trails are very beautiful.

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 : )
