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.

You couldn't ask for better scenery. And the cabin is an excellent place to stay, at a reasonable price. It is a wonderful place to say.

The response from the rangers to problems was almost immediate (such as the vault toilet running out of toilet paper).

When a storm that was expected to drop five inches that night, a ranger came by to warn us of the storm if we were not aware of it. Polite, helpful, and friendly.

Beautiful setting. Nice, rustic cabin. My husband and I had never used a wood burning stove before. Adjusting the damper to get a good fire going was, for us, a little tricky.Thankfully, we found the instructions tucked away in a drawer by the kitchen. The one addition I would make would be to laminate the instructions for the wood burning stove and put them in a very prominent place by the main stove. This is an amazing little getaway any time of year. Such a beautiful gift to the forest service from the Woods family.

Very cool place. Plenty of bushy tailed wood rats that will keep you company at night, mind you, but a fine place nonetheless.
