About this property
Ultimate Off-Grid Adventure Basecamp
An authentic log cabin located in the heart of the Mosquito Range. Camp Sherman is an off-the-grid cabin, sitting on 10 acres undisturbed forest, designed to be the ultimate high country basecamp for adventure. Here, you can choose your own adventure all-day long: From fishing gold-medal waters, hunting for that prized 10-point elk, bagging 14ers (Sherman, Lincoln, Bross, Cameron and Democrat's trailheads are just a short drive away), ripping sweet single track on a mountain bike, exploring the rich mining history of Park County or enjoying the hustle and bustle of Breckenridge. And how do you let that jam-packed adventure day ring out? With a cook-out and a glass of wine on the very spacious deck, a game of horseshoes (a swing for the little ones) and a few roasted marshmallows around the large fire-pit under the Milky Way.
Camp Sherman is truly a rustic 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom log cabin with a loft that can sleep 6. For the ultimate Colorado mountain experience, Camp Sherman is off the grid powered by solar with its own well, twice-filtered pure drinking water, indoor plumbing and gas. The kitchen is fully stocked to cook a gourmet meal (sorry no microwave) or enjoy a morning coffee (French press) on the porch swing or Adirondack rocking chairs.
Modern technology has been added for additional entertainment and communication purposes. In the cabin, you will have full 4G cell connection, Wifi and a 32" TV with Blueray player hooked up for Netflix.
We're excited to share our very special family getaway with you, and hope you will cherish and love it as much as we do.

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie & Olaf Richter
Hi there. We're a young active family who values creativity, authenticity, the smell of a campfire and a push to the summit. During the week, you'll find us rushing around in the city and trying to raise 2 little perfect humans. On the weekends, we try to stretch out, exhale deep and take advantage of the rich Colorado backcountry.
Why they chose this property
Stephanie and Olaf chose this property to make it their weekend adventure getaway and to raise a family amidst the great outdoors. Camp Sherman has been an integral part to our Colorado high mountain experience, and offers a deep connection to mountains, wildlife, the stars and, in a way, our existence.
What makes this property unique
Camp Sherman is an authentic hand-built, off-the-grid log cabin that is situated in the middle of a 10-acre parcel of land. The entire South Park Valley has been designated as a Natural Heritage Center due to it's rich mining and pioneer history. It's also unique in that the valley floor is at 10,000 feet, which makes for great daytime temperatures when the city is roasting. Camp Sherman itself is situated at 10,200 ft, which is the very low spot of the Valley of the Sun.
Being off-the-grid in an authentic log cabin allows for a unique and deep connection to nature and a simpler way of life. As much as we love the coziness of a roaring fire in the fireplace, we also appreciate a good movie and solid wifi. Modern tech made it possible, so you get to enjoy both the solitude of the setting, along with tech-enabled creature comforts of wifi and Netflix.
