The units are heated with radiant floors and air conditioning when the summer days heat up. There is wood burning stove to enjoy in the winter months as the snow falls. Each has a full size washer & dryer in case you need to clean some laundry after a long hike out in the wilderness.

There is large common grass courtyard for enjoyment of all guests adjoining the bank of the Methow River, each guest suite has yard games such as cornhole and bocce ball. There are also two large community wood burning fire pits on the campus for guests to use during certain hours and seasons.

The Neighborhood:
Base Camp 49 is located on the Methow River at the iconic Mazama Corner meadows. Conveniently located close to the junction of Lost River Road and State Route 20 on a private road. In front of the property is the Mazama Corner field which is a conservation easement with the Methow Conservancy, the winter-time ski trail John’s Way crosses this field providing convenient access to the Methow Trails network. The Methow Community trail for biking, walking, running, and skiing is adjacent to the campus as well along with the Mazama Trailhead just a few quick minutes away. The property also enjoys a private riverfront on the Methow River, and some of the best mountain views in Mazama.

It is a ½ mile, under 10 minute walk to the Mazama Store with its amazing bakery, well stocked grocery and ‘a little bit of everything good’. Further afield it’s a 22 minute drive to the Cutthroat Lake trailhead, 24 minutes to Washington Pass and 28 minutes to Maple Pass trailhead (*drive times according to google maps), making this a very convenient location for exploring the North Cascades National Park with its many world-class hiking trails. Great for beating the crowds and snagging a trailhead parking spot at peak seasons.
