Originally “Number 7” until the 1970’s, is also one of the eight log cabins hired by Jim Harris to be constructed by a Swedish carpenter in the 1930’s for $60 apiece. Legend has it he worked through the winter. It has been refurbished twice, first in the early 1970’s by Russel and Benet, and then Doug Mastellar. Russell was a commercial fisherman, hence the name “Tackle”, or possibly it was derived from the horse tackle used at Burgdorf for early ranching. It is winterized, has a queen bed and a loft with a full bed, and accommodates 4 guests.
Our cabins at Burgdorf are simple and rustic. Remember they are sparsely furnished log cabins, so you need to come prepared. In each cabin, you can expect a wood-burning stove for heat and bed with a recently purchased mattress and mattress cover, a clean sheet upon which to place your desired bedding or sleeping bag, as well as a table and chairs. The cabins do not have electricity or water. Outhouses are close by and firewood is on the porch. All cabins are within walking distance to the office and pool area. The surrounding area is scenic and natural. No pets allowed on property: Please leave your furry friends at home. Think camping with a cozy fire, in a clean cabin, with a bed.
