Van Vleck Bunkhouse
Built in 1957, the Van Vleck Bunkhouse offers a view of the Tell's Peak portion of the Crystal Range of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Sitting on the edge of a 40-acre meadow, the Bunkhouse is the last remnant of the Van Vleck Ranch site, which was operated as a cattle ranch for one hundred years, starting in the 1860's.
The house accommodates up to people and features propane lights, stove and oven, water heater, wood heat, running water, flush toilet, shower, queen size bed, two bunks, futon couch, and a deck.
