Rustic cottage/ cabin centrally located in Collbran, Colorado

The old cinder block building has a long history of uses before it was remodeled to a vacation rental in January 2021. The larger bedroom features a queen-size bed, the smaller bedroom a twin-size bunk bed, and the living room a double-size futon couch. BaseCamp can accommodate six people total. We’ve stocked the kitchen with everything you need including a few basic staple items like coffee and tea, flour and sugar. BaseCamp has free wi-fi, Roku TV, and the capability for online movie streaming. It's comfortable and peaceful, and we work hard to keep it clean, but please note that bugs (mostly cedar) do sometimes find their way in.

We built the vacation home with practical, outdoor enthusiasts in mind; it’s small and simple but rustic and cozy. Just off Highway 330 and about a mile outside the town of Collbran, BaseCamp is a convenient starting point for all of your outdoor activities. The 800 sq. ft. building sits beside Plateau Creek, where you can fish, wade, or watch the wildlife. You'll have full and private access to BaseCamp during your stay. Most Collbran businesses close by 8 pm, so if you arrive late, bring necessary food and supplies with you.

We welcome house trained and well behaved pets (maximum 2). We ask that they do not sleep in the bed or on the furniture, and please do not leave them unattended. Please also clean up doggie doo and sweep up excess pet hair. Please have your pets on a leash to keep them safe from traffic, wild animals, and our own pets. We provide pet bowls and sheets; please bring your own pet bed, food, and other supplies. An additional fee will be charged if excess cleaning is required (ie. pet hair or prints on bedding or couch) or damage is detected (ie. chew marks, scratches, or accidents).

We will send you a reservation confirmation message shortly after you book your stay, and we will send you directions to Basecamp either the day before or the day of your arrival. If you make your reservation through Expedia, please check your VRBO account and/or email for our messages. Sometimes these messages go to your junk mail, so please check your spam folder if you haven't heard from us!

If you prefer a vacation rental that is a bit more mountainous or an experience a little more rugged, we have three other vacation rentals that might suit your needs. One is a guest room built in a silo (The Silo), another is a hundred-year-old cabin (The Stagecoach Cabin), and the other is an outfitter's tent (Mossy Oaks Camp). All are listed on VRBO.

Disclosure: we have a doorbell camera that we access remotely on check out days (shows live feed only; no recording occurs). This helps us know when our guests leave so we can prioritize service on the days we have several rentals to clean. The camera is mounted on the small shed in front of the parking area.
