About this property

We are located in the Big Horn Sheep Canyon. Just minutes from gold medal fishing, kayaking and rafting on the Arkansas River, hiking, mountain biking, mountain climbing, off-road riding trails, skiing and hunting. Our cabin will provide a base camp for just about any outdoor activity you want to do. We are 12 miles east of Salida, Colorado, the Heart of the Rockies. We currently have 1 restaurant and 1 coffee shop/general store in Howard. We do not have a grocery store or gas station in Howard. Most amenities are located in Salida.
We have a fully furnished 2 bedroom 1 bathroom cabin with a queen bed in each bedroom. We can comfortably sleep 4. We also have a pack n play available. We have a fire pit with a grill by a creek that runs next to the property that is available when we are not under a fire ban. Our area of Colorado is semi-arid and we are frequently under a fire ban in the summer. We have a picnic table by the cabin next to a propane grill.
We live on the property behind the cabin and are usually available to answer questions or help you in any way we can.

great

first we had car trouble, they arranged for us to get to the cabin later in the week. when we got our van back, we had to get to the cabin late we were met outside to help us find where we were going. They are a great Christian Couple who made sure our time at the cabin was awesome.

Base Camp Howard

We always love staying at Base Camp. It’s the perfect spot to acess great spots to fish on the Arkansas River. House is clean and comfortable and the fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to enjoy cooking meals.

Good place!

Nice quiet clean place! Went to ride my side x side and fish on the Arkansas river. Plenty of access to both. Great stay! Much better than a hotel stay with better amenities and cheaper than a hotel.
