What a wonderful cabin! It was fully stocked and spacious for the 6 of us - 3 adults and 3 children. We were steps to West Lake and also a quick drive away from Dowdy and Mount Margaret hiking trail. The camp host was incredibly nice and came to check to make sure we had all we needed. Will definitely make this a yearly stay!

We loved our stay at the cabin. We had a wonderful. It was my wife and I, our three year old, and another couple had their three year old and new baby and there was plenty of room. The only criticism we had was there was one bathroom in a 5-bedroom cabin, but all things considered it was a great way to go “glamping” and get up into the mountains.

A large and comfortable cabin within a short walk to West Lake. A private and quiet setting near trails to hike, bike and run, and multiple lakes to paddle on. There is a grocery store in walking distance and The Thirsty Moose too! Drala Mountain Center is nearby and worth a visit. The volunteers onsite are wonderful people and keep up the property beautifully.

This was our second year visiting the Ranger Cabins. We were bummed about the fire ban, but very understandable! The weather couldn't have been better & we had a great time regardless! The cabin is always well kept & clean. They have everything else you need for a comfortable stay like pans, utensils etc. The Rangers are always awesome to!

Nicest Colorado USFS guard station we've staying and we have stayed in 90% here in state. Only recommendation is to change the spring loaded self locking door lock to a manual padlock or deadbolt so people do not inadvertently lock themselves out (as we did).
