Bartlett Cabin is named for Willis (Slim) N. Bartlett, who lived alone in a small cabin at the headwaters of Twin Creeks, just above the flying A Ranch. He was a zealous and eccentric prospector and miner who loved nothing better than talking about his ore ­ despite the fact that the assay office was never impressed enough with its quality to buy any.

Slim dug a long tunnel into the hillside set track, and built a power rig capable of hauling an ore car out of the mine. The rig was fashioned from the gears of a couple of old mowing machines. It wasn't Slim's first invention. What little money he had came to him through the mail in the form of Eastman Kodak Co. royalty checks. Slim Bartlett held a patent on the shutter for the Brownie Hawkeye camera.

He was a thin man, mostly because he never had enough to eat. He'd drive his team and light wagon over 140 miles to Rock Springs to buy a little coal to blacksmith with, but he never brought any food other than potatoes, flour and salt. His eye-sight was so poor that he had to read with a magnifying glass and, in the final years of his life, Slim became so blind that he couldn't hunt for meat and finally ate his last horse.

Frank Dew always invited Slim to spend Christmas at the flying A Ranch. Frank would feed him and give him his mail. When he failed to show up one December, Frank went looking for him and found Slim doubled up on the floor of his cabin, frozen solid. Neighbors hoped he'd gone on to find his gold mine in the sky.

Bartlett Cabin has two twin beds that can be converted into a king, a bath-and-a-half with a tub/shower combination, kitchenette, living room with fireplace, and a porch with lake and mountain views.
