Bunkhouse Cabin: (Pond on property -may not be suitable for small children.)
Our bunkhouse is situated approximately 75 feet from the Homebase . Both are located at the base of Nogal Peak on five acres with National Forest on three sides. It is surrounded by beautiful Ponderosa pines with a natural creek running through the property. If you like camping but prefer some of the comforts of home, this is the place for you. Rustic yet comfortable is this 550+ sq ft open concept cabin. For the hunters this is unit 36.

Large flat screen television with Roku stick for personal streaming television service and DVD/VCR combo for personal movies. The cabin has one sizable bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. There is very little cellular connectivity in the canyon, no landline however there is internet and we use wifi calling to communicate to the outside world ☺️. Linens and towels provided for number of guests on the reservation. This is the perfect place to disconnect.

A fire ring is located just below the cabin for campfires. Campers must check with Lincoln County Sheriff's Dispatch for open burning status (800-687-2419). All campfires are limited to the fire ring and must be extinguished with water. A charcoal grill is provided for outdoor cooking. (Charcoal not provided)

This property has an well. The water is safe for drinking. As with any well, depending on the amount of rain, the water can have a slight sulfur smell when the cabin sits without use. This is easily remedied by opening the outdoor faucet and letting the water run for a few minutes. Campers may want to bring drinking water. We have a water filtration system on the cabin.

RECENT FIRE IN NOGAL:
Our property was not affected by the recent fire. You will need to travel through a portion of the nogal canyon that was affected by the fire to access our property. I am providing a video of our property to alleviate any concerns of fire damage. It is still beautiful here and while we are deeply sorry for our neighbors, we feel great gratitude for being spared from the fire.
