My own cabin is located in foothills and not at an elevation worth any bragging rights (except it won't get flooded anytime soon). However, after seeing some of the beautiful site locations pictured on this forum, I know many have been built high above sea level. What is your site's elevation?
My Ohio Cabin is 760 feet.

Highest so far @ 8200, but I think I saw one here from an Idaho poster that must be higher.

We have 80 acres in Idaho. I think MtnDon is the highest I have seen on several forums.
My shed/cabin is at 6000', my kids place is at 5900' and the other will be at 5865'. Total elevation difference across the property is 250'.

My Topo map indicates has the cabin location almost touching the 8800 line (coming from the 8700 direction). My GPS gives a fairly consistent reading of 8780 feet when I park beside the cabin. So I round that to 8800 feet.

I am going to have to look into this. I've never done a GPS check while there but when I used Google to check on the elevation of my lake I got returns varying by hundreds of feet. How can that be? Anybody know? My lake level doesn't rise and fall by that much!

I'm at about 950 feet.
Bobrok, If you go to usgs.gov and search the topo maps, you should find you lake and altitude above sea level. GPS's aren't really accurate for height (I'm sure there is a good explanation somewhere on the internet)
Some GPS's require a manual height entry in the setup, so even if one gets repeatable info, it may be off if not setup properly.

...some have an internal barometric device; if zeroed/set correctly they are quite accurate. Mine is very repeatable, consistent with same reading at same place on many different occasions. Google earth is also an easy way to determine what the topo information has for the altitude of any location.

We are at a lofty 39 feet, I know that doesn't seem very high but we were raised in New Orleans which is around 10 feet below sea level.
