Taylor Park Overlook Cabin in Gunnison National Forest with Lake Views
Welcome to Taylor Park Overlook Cabin, a cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath mountain retreat set within a quiet cabin neighborhood and surrounded by the Gunnison National Forest. Perched above the landscape, the cabin offers elevated views of Taylor Park Reservoir and the wide-open mountains that make this area such a sought-after summer destination.
Mornings start slowly here—coffee on the deck as the sun rises over the reservoir, cool mountain air, and the kind of quiet you only find at elevation. From there, the day is yours. Spend it fishing nearby waters, exploring miles of ATV and OHV trails, hiking through the forest, or simply taking in the scenery that stretches in every direction.
Inside, the cabin is comfortable and thoughtfully laid out, featuring one queen bed and a second bedroom with two twin beds, along with a full kitchen and inviting living area. It’s an ideal setup for couples, friends, or a small family looking for a relaxed and convenient place to stay during their time in Taylor Park.
After a full day outdoors, return to the cabin to cook a meal, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful setting. Evenings are a highlight—watch the light fade over the mountains, take in the stillness of the forest, and enjoy the kind of night sky that makes you forget about everything else.
While the cabin feels tucked into nature, it’s part of a small, established cabin area—making it easy to access while still offering the privacy and surroundings guests come to Taylor Park for.
Available during the summer season, this cabin is a perfect fit for guests looking to experience the best of Taylor Park—long days outside, cool nights, and a place to truly unplug.
If you’re looking for a place where mountain views, outdoor adventure, and quiet summer evenings all come together, Taylor Park Overlook Cabin is exactly that.
A comfortable place to land after a full day in the mountains—and a view you won’t forget.

Great cabin in the Taylor Park area. Close to the trails but away from all of the traffic and noise. Very comfortable cabin. Brand new furniture in the front room. Clean and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Glad you had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the cozy cabin!
This was a perfect place to stay for a quiet 4 day getaway. The location was absolutely spectacular and it was so quiet! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and taking in the beautiful views of the lake with the mountains behind it. The access to ATV/OHV trails was unbelievable. We took 4 trips and never on the same trail. Our favorite was renting an OHV from the Trading Post down the road and spending a day driving to American Flag Mountain. Frenchy’s in Tin Cup (a 5min drive up the road or multiple trail options) is a must for burgers and shakes. The house had everything we needed (we cooked/grilled every night), was very clean and comfortable. The owners have really thought through everything. Highly recommend for a mountain getaway, you won’t be disappointed!

So glad you enjoyed your stay in the area and we look forward to having you back again in the future!
The cabin was in the perfect location for us, since we were riding side by side trails. Beautiful views of the mountains and Taylor Lake Reservoir. Cute and functional. Brand new gas grill on the deck. Fully stocked kitchen. Everything was very clean. We did not find any wash cloths for showering, so bring your own. Not a fancy place, but very nice , and definitely a cozy, homey, cabin feel, like you would expect in the mountains. One thing I have noticed with a lot of VRBO is they only supply a very limited amount of trash bags and toliet paper, and it is usually junk. They had plenty of both, plus ziploc bags, tinfoil ect. Would definitely stay again.
