One guest commented, “its like living in a private national park.”
the house is decorated for western lodge luxury with a fully stocked kitchen, dining for 8, master bath including jetted tub, river rock fireplace and of course it wouldn't be a cabin without the elk in the loft. Plenty of board games to keep the family entertained and bring everyone together at night.
The home is just outside of the world-class ski town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and is surrounded by national forest. Enjoy hours of snow country fun or lake and forest summer activity. Relax as the mountains light up at sunrise; watch the moon reflect off the lake or stars shoot across the sky. A photographers paradise as vistas, wildflowers and wildlife are plentiful (a great place for peepers when the colors of the aspen change). Boating, fishing, swimming and hiking are at your door. A lake kayak, row boat, and wind surfer bases with paddles are waiting on the beach. There are a few fat tire bikes waiting when you want to do a little land cruising.
Secluded on a private 110-acre lake, makes this house a rare Colorado destination. Great for families that want to escape the crowds (pet friendly). Children love to wade and swim in the water or sled in the winter. A small pond near the entrance is a great place to learn to fly fish and for the more experienced the well stocked catch & release lake is at your door. Once you have named the fish in the lake try a day on one of the gold-medal stretches at a nearby river. Perhaps the family would enjoy a day long raft trip guided by one of the many nearby raft companies or to rent inner tubes and float a stretch of water near Steamboat.
The trout and water are waiting...it is time for an adventure.
When civilization calls, head 26 highway miles to Steamboat for everything you expect from a resort community, spas, hot springs, restaurants, concerts, parades, rafting, skiing, golfing tubing and shopping to name a few . The property is 5 miles from Rabbit Ears pass, 26 miles from Steamboat Ski Area, about 70 miles to Summit and Winter Park Ski areas, and 170 miles from DIA, so this location is private, but not remote.
Other extras: If you need some extra space or privacy, a detached loft suite can be negotiated. If your well behaved dog or horse needs to accompany you, it may be negotiated for an additional fee.

Why the Owner Chose Other Steamboat Springs Properties
When we first bought our vacant land at the Lake in 1994 we had only a few hours a weekend to get away and play. The lake provided us with an escape just a short drive from our Steamboat home. In 1998 we built our dream house overlooking the lake and made Lake Agnes at Lichen Ranch our full time residence. We purchased this lakefront rental log home and its 35-acre property from a neighbor and used it as a private guest house for our family and friends. We recently began renting this property on a limited basis. This is a very special place to us. If you enjoy nature and playing outside with kids of all ages, this is a good place to be. With the help of many friends and families we continue to invent new events that entertain young and old. We play in the snow, rain, sun, and water....we just like to play and this seems to be a great place for it. This summer we are adding pickle-ball to our event list! Oh, relaxing and lake watching is quite popular too.
The Unique Benefits at this Backcountry Ski Cabin
After 10 years we still find the snow and views awesome!
Owner's Map of Other Steamboat Springs Properties
We love the Colorado blue sky. We moved to Steamboat to be surrounded by mountains, streams, forests and snow ski. Imports from Wisconsin we needed to find a lake for summer activities. We spent many hours searching for a lake to go with our semi-arid Colorado climate. After years of looking a Steamboat native introduced to this amazing private lake just 26 miles from Steamboat and we have enjoyed playing in and discovering the area ever since.
