Things to know: We are not ADA compliant. We have taken steps to accommodate a wheelchair traveler and recommend there is also a companion for assistance. This cabin has a ramp and larger bathroom. There are also limitations for accessibility and I am happy to answer specific questions before you make your reservation.
The cabin is about 1 mile off Alpine Plateau Road and 6.5 miles off Highway 50.
Spring/Summer and early Fall:
Guests enjoy fishing at private mountain ponds, abundant scenery with nearby COBDR trails, ATV routes, hiking, and biking trails. Since the lakes are private property you will not need a Colorado fishing license. Guests will also enjoy wildlife viewing and stargazing next to the fire pit or on the large deck.
On Saturdays during the Summer there is live music at the restaurant which also offers great food. Hours fluctuate depending on time of year.
Winter:
Winter is very special at Arrowhead as the internal community roads close to vehicles once there’s adequate snow. This is typically 12/1 - 4/15 and depends on the weather. Internal cabin community roads are open only to snow machines, x-country skis, snowshoes and foot travel. Inquire before booking. When the internal community roads close, guests will park in the Winter parking lot and use your snowmobile, skis or snowshoes to scoot to the cabin. The cabin is about 1 mile (approx. 30 minutes to snowshoe) from the winter parking lot. The internal roads and winter parking lot are typically groomed but often covered with fresh powder snow. We recommend at least AWD in the winter parking lot due to snowy conditions.
