3 Bedroom Cabin in Fort Garland

Time to unwind and relax? Spend some time at ROAMING ELK LODGE!! Our secluded log cabin is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
The cabin is located at an altitude of 9,500 feet in the gated community of Forbes Park nestled in the Sangre Cristo Mountains, in historic San Luis Valley/ South Colorado. Forbes Park is characterized by alpine meadows, aspen, spruces, pines, some ponds and creeks. Miles and miles of unpaved roads offer plenty of opportunity for hiking.
The park is teeming with wildlife. The cabin is a short walk from the Big Lake. At the end of the day, take a stroll to the lake where elk and deer gather to drink. You may even encounter a black bear or a mountain lion. Hunting is not allowed in Forbes Park; however, it is permitted in neighboring San Isabel National Forest (permit needed). Far away from city lights, you will have an amazing view of countless stars. Just bundle up under a blanket and enjoy the view from the deck.
The cabin (1600 sq. ft.) has recently been remodeled and it is yours to enjoy. The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen, with all the needed appliances. Three spacious bedrooms (two queen beds and two twin beds). Two and a half bathrooms, of which one with a large whirlpool tub. If you need to do any laundry, you have full access to the washer and dryer.
Things to do nearby: * Hike Mount Blanca. At 14,345 ft. Mount Blanca is the dominant landmark of the San Luis Valley. * Great Sand Dunes National Park. Hike the tall dunes, try sandboarding and play in Medano Creek (seasonal). * Climb aboard……. Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. The train will take you through steep mountain canyons and high deserts along the Colorado and New Mexico border. * Historic Fort Garland Museum takes you back in time to the era of Kit Carson. * Take a historic walking tour in downtown Alamosa and enjoy a local beer at the brewery.
* Soak in one of the Hot Springs.
* Drive Scenic Highway of Legends and stop in La Veta, a small laid-back town near the Spanish Peaks. Visit Fort Francisco Museum and the antique shops and galleries in downtown La Veta.
* Lathrop State Park. Take a swim at the lake or try your luck fishing and golfing.
San Luis Valley is a good place for birders who visit to wildlife refuges in Alamosa and Monte Vista which are a major stop-over for migratory birds, especially in spring and fall.
** Note: The Spring Fire of 2018 burned through Forbes Park. Three years later young aspen are sprouting everywhere, wildflowers are blooming and the mountain slopes are turning green again!
