This is part of a district compound built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936 to house the LaPrele District Ranger. The entire compound is on the National Register of Historic Places. The house is the only building available for rent at this time. The house offers two bedrooms, a full bath, large kitchen and living/dining room with a stone fireplace. Although there is no electricity to the cabin, there is a propane water heater, refrigerator and stove. Generally the fireplace upstairs is adequate for heating the cabin during the summer. There is sleeping room for 10 people, and for overflow, there is room for some trailers and tents, with Campbell Creek Campground just 100 yards down the county road.
All kitchen/bathroom/and cleaning supplies are provided; just bring food, drinking water and bedding/towels. We ask that you pack your trash out and clean the cabin after yourselves.
This is a very special place and everyone who loves it would like to keep it that way.
It is located in the Laramie Peak area and is managed by the Douglas Ranger District.
