The only issue is trying to get to code to get in on the weekends. It is almost impossible to get it.

The cabin was very comfortable for myself & my 3 teenage grandchildren. With the 4
bunkbeds, bathroom, & kitchen.
Our vehicle broke down & weren't able to check in on our 1st reservation date & did not arrive until after 4pm the 2nd day of booking.
I talked to the supervisor but he wouldn't give us 1 day or a refund due to our foreseen circumstances. So sad.

Water pump didn’t work correctly, so we had water for a few seconds then it would turn off, and not come back on for several minutes. Nowhere to sit other than metal folding chairs. Beautiful location.

From Antonito, CO, follow Highway 17 west to its junction with FSR 250. Follow FSR 250 northwest up the Conejos Canyon about 22 mi to Platoro. Turn left on FSR 250.6A and follow it .2 mi to the cabin.
From the town of South Fork follow Highway 160 southwest for about 7.5 mi. Turn left onto Park Creek Road which is also Forest Service Road 380. Continue for approximately 27 mi, paralleling Park Creek for much of the way. Turn right, crossing the Alamosa River, and follow National Forest Road 250 over Stunner pass and into the town of Platoro. This stretch of the trip is about 6 mi long. The cabins are located on the southeast part of town. It is best to cross the Conejos River using the lower bridge; this is National Forest Road 250.6A. Continue on this road for about .2 mi to the cabins. The cabins are easily identified by their yellow and brown siding and trim, as well as by the Forest Service signs.
Note: Be careful not to leave Forest Service Road 380 and continue towards Summitville. Forest Service Road 380 makes a bit of a hairpin turn near the old mining settlement of Summitville. This occurs about 19 mi from the US Highway 160 and Park Creek Road intersection.
Highway access
The property is accessible via Highway 17 to the west and Highway 160 to the southwest, both of which connect to the local forest service roads leading to Platoro.
