Aspen Grove Cabin Location and Neighborhood
Aspen Grove Cabin is located within the Wilson Ranch community, part of the Freestone Inn development. Freestone was established by Jack and Elsie Wilson in the late 1940s after Jack left his job on the Golden Gate Bridge. The Wilsons founded a twelve-acre ranch in Mazama, where Jack began offering guests hunting, fishing, camping, and packhorse trips throughout the North Cascades.
Mazama Wilson Ranch is just 2 miles (a 10-minute bike ride) from the Mazama Store and the Methow Trails trailhead, which provides access to hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoe trails. In addition to the store, known for its renowned bakery and groceries, Mazama is home to the Goat’s Beard outdoor store (which rents mountain and fat bikes), the Mazama Ski School for cross-country ski lessons and rentals, and the popular Mazama Public House, offering local brews, food, and live music. Please note, the Sandy Butte Bistro at the Freestone Inn is not currently operating, and Jack's Hut may be open on a very limited basis.

The Cutthroat Lake trailhead is less than a 20-minute drive, Washington Pass is 25 minutes away, and the Maple Pass trailhead is 30 minutes from the cabin. This prime location allows you to beat the crowds and secure trailhead parking during peak seasons.
