About
Stub Creek Cabin sits on the north end of the Laramie River Valley in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, about 75 miles from Fort Collins. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps around 1936, this historic log cabin originally housed the district ranger's family and is architecturally significant as a representative of early hewn face log construction that became standard Forest Service design. The cabin offers comfortable accommodations with two bedrooms, a fireplace, electric heat and lights, and a fully equipped kitchen with stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and cookware. Indoor plumbing includes a flush toilet, and potable water is available from a hand pump. Guests must bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. The surrounding area provides opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, backpacking, hunting, and fishing. Wildlife including moose, deer, elk, and bear inhabit the region. The cabin is located in black bear country, requiring proper food storage and waste disposal.
