Beautiful cabin, just the right size for two people for a couple days. Fun staying in this historic building and read about the rangers from 1911. Would be better if the woodstove could run a bit longer than a couple hours at a time for overnight heat. But the bathroom is immaculately clean! Thank you, Salida Ranger District. Would love to come back when the roses are in bloom. The dirt road to get there is spectacularly maintained, and smooth as could be The padlock numbers to open the gate are hard to see even during the day. It’s tiny, and the numbers are not easy to read so use a flashlight (and reading glasses)! The water pump works well and can be used for cleaning and washing dishes. We brought our own water for drinking. Lots of hooks for hanging clothes and jackets etc.

The perfect little get away from everything.

Like having your own little forest preserve! Getting to travel about 1/4 mile down a gated road (which you have the combination to) brings you to a beautiful little cabin in an aspen grove. So peaceful and wonderful having the place all to ourselves! And Bassam Park is just a little, out-of-the-way gem of a place. Also explore Castle Rock Gulch - really nice scenery!

Our stay at the cabin was great. The weather was cool and rainy but made for great reading for my wife. Finding the cabin was to hard, but needs a little more signage to guide you on your way. The entrance pass the gate is rough be careful. The cabins is in a valley making for VERY dark nights, so bring a good light source. The cabin is well stocked with items other campers have donated or left behind. Enjoyed hiking and wildlife watching.
