About Woods Cabin

Woods Cabin offers a unique chance to camp in the forest, in a rustic, old-time setting, while enjoying all the summer and winter activities that are available from the shore of scenic Lake Como. The cabin provides a comfortable experience and spectacular views, with its large windows and decks overlooking the lake and nearby mountain peaks. It also provides access to the lake and a nearby beach and gives visitors access to a myriad of trails and open spaces. IMPORTANT WINTER RENTAL INFORMATION: Woods Cabin is available for rent in the winter and provides a great basecamp for numerous outdoor winter recreation activities. To ensure your stay is enjoyable, there are a few things to note when renting the cabin during the winter. The road to the cabin is NOT maintained during the winter months, so depending on weather conditions, you may or may not be able to drive to the Woods Cabin parking lot. The gate is closed on the access road to Woods Cabin for public safety so that visitors do not drive down to the cabin and get stuck or slide into the cabin. The county road, however, to the boat launch (located on the south side of Lake Como) is maintained. Visitors can park at the boat launch and walk, ski, or snowshoe across the dam and up to Woods Cabin, which is approximately ¾ mile. Be prepared to haul your gear into the cabin via sled or backpacks. There is no drinking water available this time of year, so please bring your own drinking water. Firewood is provided at the cabin but it may need to be split. A splitting maul is also provided. Please be aware of rapidly changing weather conditions and always use caution and be prepared when recreating in winter conditions.

The location was beautiful! We slept in the main living area between the two fireplaces. The rooms were still very cold in March and the heat doesn’t have a way to circulate down the hallway and into the rooms. I’d expect they are warm only in the summer months. We saw no mice, but still kept all food stored away. Please be kind and leave the place better than you found it. Note: the walk down the driveway during winter months is not too far of a walk, but is steep, if you are car camping. Bring a wagon and expect a good workout. Our code did not work for the code on the gate. Also, don’t park in front of the gate. There are four parking spaces very close. The pit toilet was very clean and had no smell while we were there. There was a solar light inside that worked at night.

Beautiful cabin, no snow this year, so easy to park but no xc skiing around the lake. Very hard to heat in the winter but it's possible, you'll need to go through 8-12 pieces of wood per hour to keep it warm. You'll want to get the stoves ripping asap. Expect the fires to go out overnight a couple times - bring very warm sleeping stuff. Cabin provides wood, be ready to split! Bring an extra splitting maul so you can have 2 people going at once. No sign of rodents during our stay. Lake was frozen over so we got to skate a bit.
