Even though the Covid pandemic gave us some troubles, the cabin was still well-used this year. It was a great place to social distance. Thanks everyone for keeping it a great place to hide out.

The cabin is better than ever. We have the calendar up for 2020 so get your requests in now. Just click on the “calendar” link at the top of this page in the header to see available dates. If the date is open, you can schedule it by emailing or calling us. Remember it is first come, first served! We probably won’t open the cabin for the season until after Easter (April 6, 2020.)

Our happy place. Get your reservations in early, so you don’t miss out.

This was a year to complete a few needed projects. We had lots of help too! It was nice to get a new coat of paint on the main cabin. We added a new log swing and a couple of log benches for the back yard to make things a little more inviting while studying the sunrise and sunset. By the way, the swing gets the first warm rays of the day and also gets the best phone reception. We also made some new old-fashioned wood screen doors for the Main cabin and the kids cabin. Good work everybody.

The cabin, the flag, the sunset–the real meaning of freedom!

Everyone pitches in when its time to paint.

Jon did the gable ends.

These dried up old cactus by the honeymoon cabin were re-invigorated by all the rain and produced these beautiful flowers.

Grandma Nellie tests out the new log swing made by Jon’s friend.

Looks like the end of another great season. Nellie and I closed the cabins up on a beautiful sunny fall day just before Thanksgiving. See you next Spring. Don’t forget to get in your reservations early for 2019.

Patrick Glenn made this bulletin board for our cabin.

James Glenn and his sons use our cabin periodically as a command post for their outdoor adventures. Each time they leave their mark with an act of service or creative project. They made us a beautiful bulletin board this time with our cabin logo designed by Jim Lee. This year they did Birch Hollow and ran Dianna’s Throne slot canyon.

Girls camp and the cabin always seem to be places for braids. Maybe just having a lot of girls in one place with time on their hands, I don’t know. Anyway, Grandma Rogers would be pleased with all the braids that lined up in 2018 for a picture. We thought you’d like to see a similar photo taken clear back in 1980.

If you’re planning on visiting the Rockin R cabin this year, better get your order in early. We project this to be our busiest year yet. And why not? With all the upgrades on the cabins and the Ponderosa Ranch facilities, there’s more to do than ever.

If you want to schedule the cabin just email us or text. As always its first come, first served. So get your plans together.

Awesome new covered porch on the Kids Cabin, Thanks to Ben Rogers.

The grandkids lovin’ it on the new porch

Benjamin has been at it again. Look at this snazzy new porch and deck on the kids’ cabin. He got it all built, stained, and even put the chairs on the porch and the flag out front. He has done wonders for our little piece of Heaven. Everyone will want to move into this neat little cabin now.

The new main cabin railings are beautiful

Thanks Ben Rogers for installing the new railings

Thanks to Benjamin Rogers for installing the beautiful new railings on the main cabin deck. They were much-needed. Now our littles can safely play on the deck. Thanks to Ben for many other updates to the cabins that make our stay in heaven even more fun! Can’t wait for all of you to see it.

Jim Lee made these cute shutters in his woodshop. Lorin and Kris helped paint and install them.Don’t they look cabin-y?
