About
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Redfeather Ranger Station provides a unique lodging experience in two authentically restored CCC-era log cabins in Roosevelt National Forest. The larger Ranger Cabin spans 1,660 square feet with a fully-equipped kitchen featuring two stoves, two refrigerators, microwave, and complete cookware. It includes a stone fireplace, covered porch with grill, and dining room seating eight. The Assistant Ranger Cabin is a cozy two-bedroom cabin with its own stone fireplace and small kitchen. Both cabins include indoor bathrooms with shower stalls, electricity, and heating. Outdoor amenities include propane grills, picnic tables, a campfire ring, and horseshoe game area. The station sits in a ponderosa pine forest at 8,200 feet, approximately 46 miles northwest of Fort Collins near the community of Red Feather Lakes. Guests must provide their own linens, bedding, pillows, towels, and toiletries. Firewood is not provided. Pets and livestock are prohibited. Nearby recreation includes fishing and boating on Dowdy Lake and West Lake, hiking on Mount Margaret and Lady Moon trails, and whitewater on the Poudre River 10 miles south.
