The cabin's name comes from Fern Lake, the mountain lake whose shore it stood on in Rocky Mountain National Park. Built in the National Park Service rustic style, it was a log structure used for a time as a ranger station, and its listing on the National Register in 1988 reflected that role in the park's patrol network.
The cabin stood on the shore of Fern Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, in Larimer County, Colorado. The site is reached on foot via hiking trails; the structure no longer exists, so there is no shelter or ranger station at the location.
The East Troublesome Fire of 2020 consumed this historic structure, leading to its removal from the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.
