Located about 5 miles north of Canyon Ferry Reservoir, the Bar Gulch Cabin offers a retreat from the fast pace lifestyle. It is a small, one-room cabin with a skylight, 2 bunk beds, and a full-sized bed. There are local businesses within driving vicinity of the cabin: marinas, restaurants, convenience stores, and watering holes. This cabin offers some primitive and rustic charms: a hand pump, a small antique cookstove, and wood heat. The cabin is located off Magpie Road #425. Access to the cabin is good but usually requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle in the winter.
Open all year.
$50/night fee.
Potable water available.
