About

The Saguache Bunkhouse appears in USFS records as a lookout/cabin facility located in Saguache County, Colorado within the Rio Grande National Forest's Saguache Ranger District. Despite the USFS listing, extensive research found no active public rental availability on Recreation.gov or official Forest Service recreation pages. The Saguache Ranger Station, constructed in 1939 as a Pueblo-style complex with assistance from the Civilian Conservation Corps, includes a bunkhouse that was converted from an office space to house seasonal Forest Service employees. This may be the facility referenced, though it does not appear to be open for public overnight stays. Travelers seeking USFS cabin rentals in the Saguache area should consider nearby alternatives including Stone Cellar Guard Station, Duncan Cabin, Carnero Guard Station, and Upper Crossing Guard Station, all of which are available for public reservation through Recreation.gov.
