About this property

Enjoy the serenity of our cozy wooded lodge by the Frederick Watershed

Rest, relax, and enjoy the outdoors at our cozy lodge by the Frederick Watershed. Start your next adventure here!

Basecamp Lodge is built around an original & historic 1800s log cabin. It is designed to be a retreat for outdoor enthusiasts (cyclists, runners, hikers, etc) interested in coming to the area for a little slice of nature.

The property is adjacent to the Frederick Municipal Forest & Watershed with a river/creek running along the edge of the property, a spring & stream in the backyard along the tree line, nearby access to local multi-use trails, and plenty of outdoor entertainment space (decks, patios, etc).

The house has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a full kitchen with attached dining area, laundry room, living room, event room/gathering space, private work spaces, small library area, access to outdoor decks and patio from the house, and a converted garage that serves as a 3-season indoor space with outdoor equipment and a bike work station (coming soon!), as well as a group gathering space.

NOTE: We live across the street and often cross through the back section of the property to access trails.

The place was a fascinating upgrade from an original log ca bin, still exposed in the interior hallway. Kitchen was stocked well for eatti g in and pantry items snacks and seltzers etc were generously available. Nothing says cozy like karge fluffy towels and bath rugs and once again, generous amenities if we forgot some need. Los of great spaces for enjoying family. We cant wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Alex Forte Howell

Host profile image
We are Alex & Chris Howell: cyclists, adventurers, and outdoor enthusiasts. We love riding our bikes, being outdoors, and hanging with our pets (1 small dog & 2 cats). We live across the street from Basecamp Lodge and want our guests to have a positive, enjoyable experience throughout their stay.

Why they chose this property

We love being so close to the Frederick Watershed: hiking and mountain biking trails in our backyard; being surrounded by nature; and still only 10 miles from downtown!

What makes this property unique

Basecamp Lodge is built around a converted log cabin with multiple additions and updated amenities. It has rustic charm with modern conveniences, providing the best of both worlds for the outdoor enthusiast who loves being in nature but enjoys modern comforts.

The Lodge has a large family room (event space) that is perfect for small group gatherings, family game nights, and team meetings. There is also a converted garage that acts as a 3-season “hang out” space, as well as a large outdoor patio area.

*We offer small group “special event” booking options upon request.
