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.

The historic restoration adds a rustic charm, and the surrounding area offers beautiful trails. However, families with young children should be mindful of rusted metal present on the property.

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.

Great place to get away. Just remember lanterns, it got dark quick inside.
