With a total of ~1413 sf, the Main Cabin (~714 SF) is anchored by the original 1930 moss rock fireplace - a striking architectural centerpiece that seamlessly bridges the cozy fireside living space with the bright, sun-drenched dining room, blending historic hearth craftsmanship with an abundance of natural light. The galley kitchen blends vintage charm with modern convenience, while the primary bedroom features white-paneled walls and classic checkerboard flooring.

Situated along national park boundaries, this property serves as a natural wildlife corridor - daily elk and deer sightings are the norm, not the exception. Ample parking and easy road access complete this one-of-a-kind Colorado mountain offering. This home has been a secondary home for decades but can be lived in full-time. Although it can be leased, the property is restricted to long term rentals (30 days or more) and as a single unit. No furniture conveys with the property.
