Bar Gulch Cabin

The cabin is in poor shape, especially the double bed, which is ratty and ready for the dump. Also, the water pump didn't have a handle. The cabin was dirty, and the lack of water didn't help.

Great cabin, we skied at the lake and had a nice time at the cabin. The stove kept the cabin plenty warm through the night when we stayed, at the beginning of February.

In colder weather be wary of ice near the back door-sand works great but it does get tracked into the cabin. the wood cook stove is an awesome feature if you like cooking and it helps to warm up the cabin :) I would recommend bringing plenty of water as we read that the pump was not working and extra propane cannisters for the lamp! (we bring our own portable cook stove but there is one available at the cabin)

Our first visit!! We will be back!!! Althought it rained the whole time, we had a great visit!! Cabin heated up fast and stayed warm all night with 1 log. Inside of cabin was nice and clean, but screened porch had quite a bit of garbage left behind, we took it with us! Loved the porch, didn't have a outdoor fire the pit is a little to close to fence!

Cute cabin with screened-in back porch and skylight.

Wood stoves worked great and plenty of cookware.

Cute cozy cabin! Perfect for a quiet getaway.

Very nice cabin and area! We’ll be back.

Although the remnants of a forest fire are tragic, there's a beautiful and eerie peacefulness about this location and cabin. Our Scottie dog loved it too, naturally. Taking the hike heading west behind the cabin is recommended, and if you feel up for a challenge, climbing the steep slope to the top just across Bar Gulch Rd from the cabin is very much worth it. We discovered too late the Never Sweat Hunter Gulch trailhead about a half mile further up Magpie Creek Rd - that'll have to wait for a future trip. Remember, this cabin is nice and rustic, so bring water, lights, any kind of stove to heat water and food, and bedding - sleeping bags will do. Also, there's no sign for Bar Gulch Rd, so just be on the lookout for the turn left about 3.5 miles up Magpie Creek Rd from the highway.
