About this property

BaseCamp - Rustic cottage in Collbran

The old cinder block building, which is approximately 800 sq. ft, 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.

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. 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) that like to sleep in their own beds on the floor. We provide pet bowls and sheets; please bring your own pet bed, food, and other supplies.

The first two hours of cleaning are included in your nightly rate. If additional cleaning time is needed after checkout, a fee of $25 per hour will apply.

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 a quonset hut and sheep wagon (Steel and Wool Sheep Camp). All are listed on VRBO.

About the host

Hosted by Pam

Host profile image
Clint and Pam own and manage four unique vacation rentals: BaseCamp (fully furnished cottage), The Silo (furnished guest room in a grain bin), the Stagecoach Cabin (an off-grid old stagecoach cabin), and Steel and Wool Sheep Camp (a remote quonset hut and sheep wagon). We are glad you are interested in our vacation rentals and are here to make your stay enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

Our rentals are located near the small town of Collbran, Colorado, about 80 miles southwest of Glenwood Springs and about 50 miles northeast of Grand Junction. Please check your desired destination carefully; the maps sometimes make our location look closer to Glenwood or Grand Junction than it really is!

BaseCamp is centrally located to the Grand Mesa (12-22 miles), Powderhorn Ski Resort (20 miles), and Vega State Park (10 miles). The Grand Mesa offers a variety of recreational activities including four-wheeling and snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and hiking. Powderhorn Ski Resort boasts great skiing and bike trails, and Vega State Park features dining at the lodge, fishing, waterskiing, and boating.

What makes this property unique

We don't live on-site, so we won't disturb you during your stay. You can reach us by phone, text, or email. Grandma lives next door, so we ask that you do not bring more than three vehicles or disturb her. We do not provide daily maid service, but extra linens are provided for your convenience.
