Wish we'd stayed even longer. What a fantastic experience. Exploring the surrounding landscape was so special and the curated library was an added treat. I have a feeling I'll be back next time I'm out west

Rustic and huge. Well equipped. Visited Earthships Museum and museums in Taos. Needs more and comfortable porch furniture to enjoy the views.

This was a great experience to provide my teenage boys. I am very grateful that people have taken the time to preserve his cabin as well as preserve the isolation and beauty of the area. I think the experience will definitely stay with them for years.

What a fun experience! The Forest Service has done a great job fixing up this cabin and providing a comfortable experience. Kitchen is fully stocked and there are even some extra blankets in the cabin. Lots of books and reading materials to entertain you! Bring camp chairs to sit on the porch. Be aware there is a mouse issue and have bins to put away ALL food in. We had a fun time exploring Hopewell Lake area, scrambling around in the rocks behind the cabin, and grabbing a meal at the Chili Line café across the street. Such a relaxing stay! For planning purposes, there are 4 bedrooms: one downstairs with a queen bed, three upstairs: one with a queen and twin, another with two twins, and another with three twins.

The place was closed, but we walked around and peeked in the windows. If you're an Aldo fan, as I am, it's definitely worth the visit We'll go back when it's open. The Forest Service office nearby has info about it.

Beautiful spot but be aware there appears to be no admittance by the public to the property. You can park next to the post office and get a nice photo of the site from next to the 'NO TRESPASSING' sign anyway.

Ahhh...The Big Brown Bungalow, or the home of Brown. Aldo Leopold’s Mia Casita. What a beautiful bungalow, so much history. I was lucky enough to enter and see his painting and the fireplace 1st hand. The views from the front patio are what life is about. You can see places not for the meek in the Chili Line Depot (which is a must eat), you need not a paddle for the Tres Piedras Arroyo, and the old heavy load Tres Piedras lumber mill is just past that. The Tres Piedras water tower used to hold water high and is now a protected landmark. The blaze of the ol’ Chili Line Railway ran just across the way. One treasure of a place.
Please, respect the surrounding lands when the time comes. 💙
