Wood's Cabin

The historic Woods Cabin is located on the north shore of Lake Como. It features large windows and a deck that offer an excellent view overlooking the lake and near-by Como peaks. The cabin was built in 1928 and provides "rustic" accommodations. There is a vault toilet located nearby and even though there is no electricity there are propane lamps in the cabin. It has three bedrooms, a kitchen and dining room, and a large living room that is conducive to group meetings. The cabin has two wood stoves, and the firewood is provided, but may need to be split.
