SELF GUIDED CABIN HUNTS: $1250 per person, fully guided ($250 charge for packing out animals)

Hunters really enjoy our modern and beautiful four room log cabin. The cabin was built in 2000 and is located on my 80 acre property at the base of the Sangre de Christo mountains. Nestled in the quaking aspens, where the deer and the elk are behind you in the wooded mountains, and with a fantastic panoramic view of the valley floor in front of you, you often will see antelope grazing around my hunting blinds and sometimes deer and elk on the valley floor. You can walk out the door and easily connect with a good hiking trail up into the mountains behind the cabin. There are lots of elk and deer here. Or, you can make short drives to several other trailheads that also offer good hunting. When you arrive I will give you topo maps of the area and review the drainage surrounding the cabin where we find the elk. In the morning your day will start with a hike uphill, but you can work your way back down through the day as you search for elk in the dark timber above the camp.

The cabin has two bedrooms, one with four bunk beds and the other with a single full sized bed. The cabin is solar generated so we have electricity for lights, a TV and a refrigerator. It is heated with a wood burning stove, and we use propane for cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. The cabin has a bathroom with a flush toilet and plenty of hot water for showers! It is comfortable accommodations for up to six people.

A small trout stream and several ponds are on the property, plus being within a few miles of 6 national forest trailheads makes for either a wonderful hunting trip, or just a relaxing weekend during the summer months for hiking and fishing. With three hot springs facilities, and The Alligator Farm, and the Great Sand Dunes National Park close by, there is plenty for all to enjoy. The cabin is used by my clients during the hunting seasons, but is available for rental May through mid-August at a rate of $300 per weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun) or at a weekly rate of $700.

As a self guided camp the price for a cabin hunt is $1250 per person with a four person minimum and a six person limit. This price does not include a $250 per animal charge for packing killed game. We also use the cabin as a base for guided hunts during the late seasons.
