The Thompson Cabin was originally built as an office on the fourth level of the Ajax Mine. In the 1940s, Joseph Thompson had it dismantled and rebuilt it in the Athletic Field where the baseball park is, now often referred to as the Gold Bowl. In 1996 it was moved from the Gold Bowl to its current location. Joe & Marjie Stevens, who operate and run the Colorado Trading & Transfer Company of Victor, have refurbished the cabin making it a quite, cozy getaway.

The Thompson Cabin is a completely furnished efficiency including dishes and linens. The kitchenette is equipped with double sink, microwave, toaster oven and full size range and refrigerator.

The bathroom has a shower, toilet and single sink. Natural gas keeps the cabin warm and cozy. Outside are a redwood deck, picnic table and barbeque. The cabin sets back off the road so it is private and quiet, with parking.
