From a local history book: “…It is the oldest residence in Upper Clyde. Teller County records show the log home was on the tax rolls in 1920. Some of the cabin’s highlights include a spacious updated kitchen, four upstairs bedrooms, and a large front porch perfect for comfortable rocking chairs. (Everyone needs more porch sitting time!) Even as late as the 1970s, people would stop there, seeing the American flag flying, hoping to buy fishing licenses at the former Pike National Forest headquarters.” This cabin and location offer thousands of acres of back-yard! A short drive from Denver and Colorado Springs and close to the quiet, historic town of Victor Colorado and the little gambling town of Cripple Creek! The beauty of this place is breathtaking! The drive through Cathedral Park with its jaw-dropping views will excite the soul! The best time of your life is right now...take this opportunity to enjoy it in the quiet back-country of Pike National Forest...and bring your fishing poles!
