Kenjockety

Grand County

The "Kenjockety" cabin property is significant under politics and government and entertainment/recreation as an excellent example of the United States Forest Service Recreation Residence program.  The cabins are one of two "isolated cabin" properties classified as such by the Forest Service remaining today within the Arapaho National Forest.  Kenjockety is the only such cabin property in the Arapaho National Forest continually used by several generations of the same family for the purpose of seasonal recreational use. 

A view of the cabin with low gabled roof and wooden walls on the left of the building are two large doors.

The cabins are architecturally significant as good examples of Pioneer Log constructed cabins exhibiting such features as hand hewn logs with saddle, crowned, and V-notch construction, and for the main cabin with Rustic influences of a stacked stone chimney and log construction.  The property is also significant for its potential to yield information important to history and prehistory regarding pioneer settlement and seasonal recreation of the area.
