Come Experience OurMountainLife

If you’re feeling the call for time in the mountains, time in nature, or just want to unplug — come visit! We’re near the top of a canyon almost two miles high (10,200’ elevation), surrounded by 13,000’ mountains where the north and south forks of a creek merge. Located in a National Forest, with Wilderness area nearby, trees, trails and wildlife abound.

Our 1800s cabin was once a mining and assay office for the Tasmania Mining and Milling Company (Philadelphia). We’re slowly restoring it, honoring its history while incorporating a few conveniences. This is a seasonal cabin for enjoying cooler temps at higher elevation in the summer and golden aspen, with occasional snow, in the fall.

The main cabin is a traditional one room log cabin and includes the kitchen & eating area, food storage, drinking & washing water and currently our bed. Two additions added by the mining company both include two rooms. The back rooms are the shop & one day our bedroom, and the side rooms are supplies & solar power and the former brothel, current guest room. We’ve added a canvas bell tent, dubbed “the yurt” by friends, near the creek behind the cabin that is also for guests. Both guest accommodations have double beds, warm sheets & cozy comforters. Being near the creek, the yurt does run a few degrees cooler. Green noise (nature sounds) included.
