The rustic charm is complemented by useful amenities such as gas lanterns and the opportunity for outdoor activities, though guests should be mindful of rusted metal on-site. While there are some inconveniences like limited cell service and nearby traffic, the overall experience is enjoyable, making it a great option for families.

We loved staying in the cabin for two nights during the fall. There was plenty of wood near the outdoor fie pit that we used in the wood burning stove inside. Loved watching the sunset while sitting in front of the cabin. There were mice, only during the night, so we set out a few traps that are provided. Worked well. Great space for preparing food on the side table, and lots of room on the large table and benches to eat and play a few games. We found several nails to hang our gear from, out of the way and off the floor. Loved being in an historic cabin.

Great old well-maintained cabin in a beautiful location along former narrow gauge railway line. Nearby old railroad town of Como is great. Be sure to hike around up at Boreas Pass. And the drive over to/from Breckenridge is fantastic. Thanks Forest Service for having this wonderful old cabin available for rental.

My only complain is the insane amount of mice. They even pooped on the bed I was on while I was sleeping.

It’s peaceful, quiet, and dark at night. The road a halve mile away but within sight had around a dozen cars a day, few enough to be curious to look each time. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 is because of a mouse ( probably mice, it was a point of contention). It’s in the woods so, yeah, it has a mouse but I forgot how loud they were at night without electricity. We only seen one but it sounded like more at night, possibly 3. Definitely plan on going back.

I don't mind dirty or mice, but it was TOO dirty and TOO poopy. Snowed through the door and windows and didn't know we had to supply our own wood - arrived in a blizzard and was VERY cold. Could NEVER stay upstairs due to cold and poop. LOTs of broken glass near cabin.
