About
Overview The Lone Cone Cabin is a great destination for an overnight getaway or a week-long hunting trip. Located just 24 miles from Norwood, Colorado, the facility can be accessed in the summer and fall by passenger vehicle or 4WD, depending on conditions.Recreation It is just a short walk to the Lone Cone Trailhead where hikers and equestrians can gain access to the Lizard Head Wilderness. The cabin is within the heart of quality big game hunting terrain. Off-highway vehicle enthusiasts will find a large network of forest roads to ride. Summer: The large meadow surrounding the cabin is ideal for family gatherings and weddings. Additional mountain biking, motorcycling, hiking, equestrian and fishing opportunities can be found right out the door of the cabin or by driving just 15-20 miles to the Woods Lake Recreation Area or to Miramonte Reservoir State Wildlife Area. Opportunities abound for mushroom-picking and watching wildlife. Facilities There are two bedrooms; one with two bunkbeds, and the other room has a queen bed, and a queen-sized hide-a-bed couch in the living room (can sleep up to 8 full sized adults). The cabin has two woodstoves, one flush toilet, a shower, cleaning supplies, and a fully equipped kitchen (i.e. electric oven/range, microwave, refrigerator, plates, silverware, cookware, etc.). Keep in mind that if the power goes out to the cabin (happens regularly during windstorms), there is no water. Please come prepared for this possibility. The water at this location is not potable but can be used for showers and washing dishes. Firewood is available in the woodshed next to the cabin. A horse corral with feed bunk and water trough is provided 150 yards south of the cabin. You must bring your own certified weed-free hay. In addition to bringing extra water; bring food, bedding (beds have mattress covers), warm clothing, flashlights, towels and toiletries. Please pack out your trash. Trash bags, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies are provided on site. Natural Features The cabin sits in a large secluded meadow at 9,200 feet elevation, surrounded by an aspen and spruce forest. Guests will have an excellent view of Colorado sunsets and the Lone Cone Peak from the front porch. The night sky is very dark here. You'll likely see the milky way on a clear night!
