Excellent lodge for Silverton Colorado area.

Due to a local law change concerning OHV not allowed in Silverton Colorado this property is excellent. We were able to ride our OHV’s from the property no need to trailer or paid fee’s to park our trailers. The property has everything you need coffeepots, gas grill, and plenty of cooking utensils. We had 10 people in our group and the property had plenty of room to accommodate us. I will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic view!

We had a total of 6 family members staying this trip and everything was amazing! The check-in was easy, communication with owner was easy and the views each morning were breathtaking. The trip to Silverton is only a few miles and there are many things to do. Would definitely recommend for an off the grid stay! We even saw a Moose with twin calves!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

We absolutely loved this place! It was unbelievably clean! Props to the cleaning lady. Everyone had a place to sleep and it was a large enough space that we were not crowded. The old mine ruins on the property are so interesting to see. Everyone needs to check out this place and the town of Silverton CO!

Bunkhouse in the Mountains

We genuinely enjoyed our time in the bunkhouse. It's the perfect distance from Silverton to grab groceries, supplies, etc.. I grew up driving to see the view of old hundred mine, so being able to wake up and drink coffee looking up at it in the mountain was really special. The view in general was incredible. It was the perfect house for our family and we are definitely going to stay here again. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone.

Authentic Rustic Cabin

You get what’s advertised. It’s away from town so not much traffic, but it’s fairly easy to access. Communication with the owner was great but it’s best to use the phone when you have a signal. There’s no WiFi or cell phone signal at the cabin currently. Would recommend as long as WiFi or cell phones aren’t important to you

2 family UTV vacation

The miner’s bunkhouse suited our needs well! We only had 10 total people and there was room to spare for sleeping comfortably. Not sure where 24 would sleep. Guessing pull out couches etc. The views from the bunkhouse were amazing. We were able to ride to trails on our atv’s straight from there. Very convenient. The driveway up was a little taxing. There’s an old mine on the property with a river running out of it which was cool. But the water chose the driveway as the path of least resistance. Would definitely stay there again!

Spectacular views

Owner is very helpful and quick to assist with any needs or concerns. The bunkhouse is a little rough as you would expect, but our group of twenty was very comfortable. A larger group might find it a bit tight, but we loved it. Due to a recent winter storm the parking area need some work. Mark worked hard to get it ready for our arrival. Thanks much, we had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Webber

We raised our family here and use the cabin for a summer retreat.

Why they chose this property

The high mountain air will make you wish you could stay longer. You can ATV right from the cabin and hike right out the front door. Many generations of miners work the area mines and their legacy is seeped in this gulch. This mine was worked from the 1880's to 1950's bringing forth gold and silver.

What makes this property unique

You can sit outside and gaze at the unique geological formations and beauty unsurpassed. Many mountain retreats are marred by countless numbers of people. This area is pristine and uncluttered by modern growth. In a relatively short drive you can visit many mining ghost towns and explore old buildings, museums, and cemetaries.
