Highlights
Outing Highlights
A 1930s log cabin with a storied past
Originally known as “Number 4,” the cabin was one of eight built in the 1930s and reconstructed in the 1970s; the provenance of the name Broken Wing is lost to time, but the structure itself preserves Burgdorf’s simple, handbuilt character.
Winterized, simple, and centered on the wood stove
Broken Wing is winterized and set up for two guests on one queen bed; heat comes from a wood‑burning stove and the cabin is sparsely furnished — think clean bed, table and chairs, and a mattress with cover — not modern hookups.
Close to Burgdorf’s communal areas in a natural setting
Cabins at Burgdorf sit within walking distance of the office and the pool area; the site is scenic and natural, with firewood on the porch and outhouses nearby rather than indoor plumbing.
What the day feels like
What staying at Broken Wing actually feels like
Expect a pared‑down, backcountry lodging experience: a winterized log cabin with a single queen bed and a wood‑burning stove for heat; no electricity or running water inside the cabin, outhouses close by, and communal access to a central water spigot and Burgdorf’s office and pool area. It’s essentially camping with a proper bed — bring your own bedding and supplies and rely on simple, on‑site amenities.
