The Mocroft Cabin
Mocroft Cabin is named for Harley Mocroft who, in 1911, at the age of seven, moved with his parents and older brother from Nebraska to a ranch near Pinedale, Wyoming. From that time until his death in 1984, he lived and worked on the ranch, while his brother ran another family-owned ranch in the Green River Valley.
Although Harley was a successful rancher, first raising sheep and then cattle, he found his greatest joy when he worked with metal, machines and motor vehicles. Working in his ranch shop, he was able to repair, creatively reconstruct and even invent parts for most mechanical objects. for more than a decade he worked on the design and construction of a snowplane. After its completion, Harley was one of the first people to fly into Yellowstone National Park during winter.
His ranch remains in his family, owned by his daughters Harlene Maloney and Sylvia Sandoval. One of Sylvia's memories of her father recalls his enjoyment of open-faced radish sandwiches. Harley made them by layering liberally salted radish slices on bread and butter. Such a connoisseur of radishes did he become that he would only use radishes that came directly from his ranch's garden.
Mocroft Cabin has a queen-size bed, shower/tub combination, living room with fireplace, kitchenette and porch with rocking chairs and a lake view.
