Home Away From Home - Off-Grid Cabin - 14 miles into Gunnison National Forest
The Ranch sits at an elevation of 8,656 ft. It is a 14 miles drive in **ONLY** accessible by 4x4 or UTV! 2 story cabin, sleeps 8-12 people comfortably! Cabin sits in Big Soap Park surrounded by the West Elk Wilderness in Gunnison National Forest. Totally surrounded by mountains, rolling foothills, thick pine forest, aspen areas, and beautiful open meadows to take in.
Breathtaking views. Great place for the adventurists and the ones who just want serenity out of the nut' n' bustle!
When staying at the cabin we want you to have an "at home" feel. From grilling out meats to cooking on the stovetop, you will have the comfort of preparing your own meals while vacationing in the mountains of Gunnison National Forest.
