About this property

Ultimate Off-Grid Adventure Basecamp

An authentic log cabin located in the heart of the Mosquito Range. Camp Sherman is an off-the-grid cabin, sitting on 10 acres undisturbed forest, designed to be the ultimate high country basecamp for adventure. Here, you can choose your own adventure all-day long: From fishing gold-medal waters, hunting for that prized 10-point elk, bagging 14ers (Sherman, Lincoln, Bross, Cameron and Democrat's trailheads are just a short drive away), ripping sweet single track on a mountain bike, exploring the rich mining history of Park County or enjoying the hustle and bustle of Breckenridge. And how do you let that jam-packed adventure day ring out? With a cook-out and a glass of wine on the very spacious deck, a game of horseshoes (a swing for the little ones) and a few roasted marshmallows around the large fire-pit under the Milky Way.
Camp Sherman is truly a rustic 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom log cabin with a loft that can sleep 6. For the ultimate Colorado mountain experience, Camp Sherman is off the grid powered by solar with its own well, twice-filtered pure drinking water, indoor plumbing and gas. The kitchen is fully stocked to cook a gourmet meal (sorry no microwave) or enjoy a morning coffee (French press) on the porch swing or Adirondack rocking chairs.
Modern technology has been added for additional entertainment and communication purposes. In the cabin, you will have full 4G cell connection, Wifi and a 32" TV with Blueray player hooked up for Netflix.
We're excited to share our very special family getaway with you, and hope you will cherish and love it as much as we do.

Great off grid cabin with everything one needs. Was a great place to relax for a couple days. Spent lots of time on the wraparound deck. When it got cold we enjoyed the cabin's comfortable interior, with multiple heating options and fast wifi. Saw lots of wildlife.

Perfect Colorado getaway

My wife and I absolutely loved staying here. It was a perfect base for exploring the area and getting ready to hike Quandry Peak. Stephanie and Olaf are great hosts and very helpful/responsive. My wife and I will definitely make their place an annual getaway.

All the benefits and beauty of nature in a comfortable location

This cabin was a beautiful and peaceful getaway for our annual family "camping" trip. There were plenty of things to do at the cabin as well as the surrouding area. It is also decently close to town so we were able to get groceries and whatnot. I highly recommend this location for a serene and relaxing getaway.

Paradise in the mountains

From the gorgeous property to the friendly "wild"life, this place is amazing. It would be perfect for families with kids, there's so much to do. There's a horseshoe pit, a zipline that I was not brave enough to try, and lots of rolling hills to exexplore. I would stay here againin a heartbeat. Amazing place!

Great cabin

Cabin mixes off-the-grid ruggedness with modern comforts quite well! Our entire group loved the cabin and its amenities + the location can't be beat. Rental process was very easy and the owners were very responsive. Definitely follow the driving directions provided by the owners as Google maps seemed to struggle.
