El Gordo

El Gordo

view Pricing

Summary

El Gordo sleeps 8 in 3 bedrooms, has a hot tub, a fireplace, and all the amenities. A few years ago there was a very heavy winter storm that knocked down several trees including very old Cherry, Walnut and Hickory. Rather than burn the trees as firewood, a band saw was brought in and we made lumber out of the mess. Because of this custom cut lumber we have been able to create a very unique Luxury Cabin with lots of interesting woodwork details. Features like beautiful hand made one-piece headboards and end tables make El Gordo one of a kind. It’s super energy efficient, and we used as little forest products in its construction as possible. We accomplished this through an innovative, award winning technology that incorporates Styrofoam and steel. This type of construction allowed us to make a very open and comfortable interior, while minimizing the foot print of the building.

See What Others Are Saying

“A beautiful peaceful setting for a cabin. Very clean and well stocked. Our family enjoyed the yard and fire ring. Playing all day then coming inside to eat together and watch movies will be memories forever. Our large group had plenty of room inside and out. We rafted, hiked and biked. The hot tub was perfect to soak away the days activities.


We will be back. Thank you for your hospitality we enjoyed every minute of our stay.”
