Property Description
Escape from the pace of modern life while holding onto its creature comforts in this idyllic cabin on U.S. Forest Service land. Cozy and rustic, set in the forest bordering Rocky Mountain National Park, it offers hiking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing year-round. Relax on the flagstone covered porch and listen to Horse Creek below. Build a campfire in the fire ring out front for storytelling or marshmallows. Inside the fully furnished cabin, stay warm with two propane heaters or fire up the wood-burning stove. A tankless hot-water heater supplies both the kitchen (with refrigerator, small gas stove, microwave) and bathroom (with toilet, shower, vanity). If you really must do some work, you can power up your laptop with WiFi connectivity via the satellite dish out back. Get away on horseback for trail rides offered by Meeker Park livery a scant mile away or mountain bike or hike the miles of trails directly from the cabin. The Old Gallery community center (~3 miles away) hosts regular potlucks, concerts, movies, readings and is open to all. Meeker Park Lodge a half-mile off operates a laundry and country store and holds square dances periodically. Whether seeking a reclusive getaway or mountain activities, this cabin nourishes the soul. Occupancy is granted by the USFS via a Special Use Permit (SUP) where the buyer owns the home but not the land. A nominal annual fee is paid to the USFS and ownership is in perpetuity. Enjoy solitude while being less than 1/2 mile from Highway 7 with easy access to Estes Park (15-20 minutes) and Boulder-Longmont. Opportunities to buy a cabin on USFS land are extremely rare.
