Male Hogan, disc golf, kayaks, ATV, wildlife, hiking, beach, pet friendly

It's almost unbelievable. The river and usually a beach are about a five minute walk out your door. Kayaks at the river. Three doubles and six singles. Side by side, six seater, take you to the Wind Caves and Chicken Corner. Three to four hours for $250. Less than half what they cost in town. There are unlimited hikes from the property and many more near by.

There is so much wildlife it's hard to keep track of. In addition to the hundred or so birds, squirrels, and chipmunks that come to eat each day at the lodge, there's the man himself, Kobae. Kobae is the 210 pound security tortoise that lives at the lodge and when he's not hanging out on the porch, or chowing down on romaine, he'll be looking for someone to go hiking with. Pets allowed: dogs less than 20 lbs per pet (limit one pet total). With evening the lodge front porch comes alive. Some combination of ringtail, skunk, fox, and raccoon nightly show up for dinner. At the hogan you're welcome to hang out at the fire pit or sit in gravity chairs and view the night sky. For kids especially it's an incredible experience.

The night sky, the incredible views, the critters, the side by sides, the beach, the river, kayaking, Wind Caves, hiking, all here. Nobody else has what Base Camp has or even comes close. Worry about other parts of your trip but don’t worry about this part. I live here pretty much 24/7/365 and I’ve been sharing it with guests for nineteen years. You want an adventure, not just staying somewhere, you found it.

Now, having said all that, it’s quiet, off the grid, and you want to get away, that’s here too. Some folks just sit on the deck and unwind, enjoying the landscape, wildlife, or reading. There’s no shortage of those spots. I’ve spent many a morning hiking out to a different place each day and reading.

Whatever you want to do, you don't have to go anywhere, all you have to do is walk out the door. That’s special.

See you soon,

Tom
