After a full day of outdoor activities, it is time to relax at The Base Camp, a cozy mountain log cabin retreat near stunning Lake Lure. At The Base Camp, explorers will be able to enjoy all the modern amenities in a rustic, yet charming, setting in a secluded gated community. Our cabin provides easy access to the various outdoor activities in the Lake Lure area such as golfing, horseback riding, zip lining, hiking, water sports, and sightseeing.

The Space:
Guests drive through a quiet neighborhood to find a 2-story log cabin on a clearing. The Base Camp has private parking for up to 4 vehicles on gravel, and one parking space for trailers or recreational vehicles next to the home.

As in base camps all over the world, guests are encouraged to remove their footwear before entering so they can immediately unwind in a beautiful shelter, where all members of the expedition party can relax in their own personal way.

Each room has a distinguishing theme. The first floor opens to a living room, a Base Camp common area, furnished with wide and comfortable couches, and a high-definition smart TV for your streaming pleasure. Free Wi-Fi is included. Guests can also listen to their personal playlists by connecting to our Bluetooth-enabled soundbar.

The dining room reminds us of water activities around the lake, complete with canoe decor. The kitchen, or galley, is fully stocked with cookware for your culinary pleasure. The downstairs hallway and bathroom reminisce explorers of magnificent waterfalls. A washer and dryer combo complement the amenities.

The downstairs bedroom, the Patagonia Room (1 Queen bed), highlights the sights of the epic Circuit Trail at Torres del Paine National Park, Chile. On the second floor, the loft is your activity and outlook center, complete with a daybed/trundle combo (2 Twin beds), the camp’s library, games, and highlights of our adventures. It is the perfect place to admire the view through extra-wide windows from a cozy recliner.

If your expedition guide needs to access the outside world online or enjoy breakfast or a warm beverage, a dedicated bistro/work table is provided. Finally, the upstairs master bedroom, or Machu Picchu Room (1 Queen bed), with vaulted ceiling and wide windows, caps your outfitter’s bucket list. But adventure awaits outdoors.

The cabin has a wraparound deck, perfect to admire the woods or to enjoy invigorating drinks under the patio lights after a long day of recreation at Lake Lure or Chimney Rock. The Base Camp has its own private 1/10 mile Easy hiking trail within our 1.8 acres of wooded land. It is the perfect place to warm up or cool down aching muscles. Just follow the white trail blazes.
