About High Rye Cabin

High Rye Cabin is a quaint place to stay, ideally situated for exploring the northern Fleecer Mountains. An abundance of recreational activities are available in this scenic area. The cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps around 1919 and is located in the historic mining district of German Gulch. It was used as an administrative site until the 1940s, when it was opened to the public. The cabin can be accessed by vehicle; however, during the fall, alternative resources may be required to reach the cabin. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Great get-a-way place. Very cozy and scenic cabin. Fairly close to lots of things to see and do, Butte, Georgetown Lake, Phillipsburg, Gem Mountain Sapphire Mine. We had a great time.

Rented this cabin for hunting in late November. Everything you need in a rustic cabin to get out of the weather. Wood stove with plenty of good, dry firewood on hand to keep warm at night. Even our cabin mouse was polite.

The High Rye is wonderful. Simple but very functional. Except for the loud ATVs going by now & then, it is extremely peaceful.
