About this property

Panoramic Views, Trails & More! Desert Adventure

There’s nothing like Base Camp; the night sky, incredible views, wildlife — all here! The river, and usually a beach, are a short walk from your door. Take one of the kayaks, or rent a side-by-side to visit Wind Caves and Chicken Corner — at less than half the cost of in-town rentals! There are unlimited hikes from the property, and many more nearby. But if you want to get away to a quiet, off-the-grid spot, that’s here too. Some folks just sit on the deck and unwind, enjoying the landscape.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- The property owner and some staff live on-site, and there are other vacation rentals on-site; other people may be present during your stay
- This property is about 1 hour outside of Moab and is best suited for a true remote stay rather than a home base for day trips
- There are no stores out here; bring your food and whatever you'd like to drink aside from water
- You can kayak by the beach, upriver, and back down, or around the island. During snow runoff, the river may be too swift to use. It doesn't happen every year, but sometimes in May to late June
- This single-story home features step-free entry

ACCESS AND VEHICLE RECOMMENDATIONS
- The road is most often mentioned in reviews, which normally end with 'it's worth it.' It is a mostly dirt road that normally doesn't require four-wheel drive, but it does need about 6 inches of ground clearance. Most SUVs, Jeeps, and trucks have that. Most sedans and vans do not. In most instances, swing wide on the corners going up and down Hurrah Pass, and if you've driven a dirt road before, you should be fine. If heights are an issue for you, there will be lots of issues up and down Hurrah Pass
- As an alternative, call Twisted Jeep in town and tell them you're coming here. They'd rather have their vehicles on this road versus some of the difficult trails in Moab, so if they can give you a good deal, they will

SIDE-BY-SIDE INFORMATION
- If you plan to use one of the side-by-sides while you’re here, there’s no reserving them in advance. The property owner has 2 six-seat side-by-sides and 8 potential rentals. They aren't available for full-day rental; a 4-hour rental costs $250. Payment is by check or cash only
- You can use the side-by-sides to go to Wind Caves and Chicken Corner, where you'll have plenty of time to explore
- The side-by-sides are not for taking to town or the other side of Hurrah Pass. They are strictly for sightseeing in the area

Base Camp is a hidden gem. If you are lucky enough to find it available and have a sense of adventure this is the spot for you. Tom is an incredible host and truly cares that his guests enjoy themselves. The frisbee golf course is world renowned and kayaking the Colorado river is a blast. Perhaps the best part though is the endless wandering and exploration. See that peak over there? Let’s climb it. You could easily spend a week here enjoying the beauty of creation. Cannot recommend more and looking forward to returning.

Wonderful getaway!

Tom is a great host! The main house was clean and the view of the river was perfect. We kayaked, hiked and used the UTV for a day of exploration. Short walk to the "beach" along the river and it was great to hang out.

Best VRBO I have ever stayed. We were there as a family in May. The pictures don’t do it justice. Everything was perfect, the host was amazing and the whole experience was flawless. House has everything you need. It’s so gorgeous and private no need to wait in line for the other parks. Book this now. I can’t wait to come back.

Amazing place

First off, Tom is an amazing host! He is very responsive from the first minute I rented the main house all the way to checkout. Anything we needed he accommodated. The house was perfect in every way! It was so unique, beautiful, and all around perfect. Not to mention the amazing 2 disk golf courses!! It was a perfect trip and I highly recommend rented the main house if you plan on staying!

Wonderful Getaway

Our family of four (two kids - 8 and 6) stayed here for two nights at the end of our weeklong tour of the "Big Five." We could not have asked for a more incredible experience. The property is unlike anywhere we've ever lodged (in the best way possible) and we stayed busy with an ATV ride to Chicken Corners and the Wind Caves, a dip in the Colorado, and endless stargazing! Colin (and Ranger) were fantastic guides and the giant tortoise was icing on the cake. The drive in is a bit harrowing for novices like us but completely doable. Don't let it deter you from an unforgettable experience. We may never be able top Spring Break 2022!

The most incredible location ever!

We stayed two nights at the main house and loved the location and the views. The house is a bit rustic and not super upscale for those looking for modern luxuries. But the point of staying at this location is the crazy drive and the incredible solitude and views. We had to make two round trips to Moab in two days, and one trip back was a night in the rain. We have a Forester so all was well but it was tense at night on the rain drenched roads. Tom was great and we took advantage of the kayaks and ATV on the property. The turtle is too cool for words, lol! We wish we could have stayed for a week.

Off the beaten path

Perfect location for those who like to do some ‘off road’ driving. If you’re not a fan of heights and maneuvering over a few rough spots and turns, this might not be the place for you. The main house has beautiful porches and views! The house has all necessary basics. We stayed in April and it was chilly a few mornings, so we made use of the fireplace and generous stack of wood. It was a bit windy and dusty when we were there. The only change I’d make would be choosing the other 2 bedroom place for less wind. Lots of room to explore on foot or ATVs. And saw several groups of people playing the amazing frisbee golf course!

Relaxing Get Away

The base camp was a wonderful getaway. We were looking for a relaxing break from our day to day routine and we certainly found it. The location and property were spectacular. Hiking from the property was great and renting a side by side was the way to go. There were amazing views in every direction. Tom was always a phone call away and created a true canyon experience including even nightly wildlife sightings. Our entire family enjoyed our stay (Myself, Husband & 4 boys 9 - 16). One note regarding the drive to the house that others have mentioned. If you are not experienced in canyon, or rock/cliff driving and have a fear of heights you may need assistance reaching the house. It is a much easier drive to reach the house in a side-by-side, than with a regular sized vehicle.

Off the grid bliss!

If you want to be off the grid, this is the place! The drive was manageable and exciting, but don’t do it in a vehicle without decent ground clearance. A Tesla likely won’t be the same if you go that route. They were grading the road while we were there and it got a lot better. We did the drive to town and back every day and it did get a little tedious, so in the future I’d plan to limit trips to town and base more out of the property. That was just poor planning on my behalf. Property was excellent and very comfortable. Tom and Teresa were awesome. Kobae and Jax cracked us up. Wish we had more time to sit and visit. Next time!

Amazing adventure off the grid near Moab

Our family of four including 2 teens enjoyed our stay at the Last Hurrah house. The 2 dogs had a blast too. Lots of mountain biking, hiking, and kayaking right outside our doorstep with amazing panoramic views. We also brought our own paddleboards. It was so fun to see all the critters (skunks, raccoons, and foxes) at the night feeding and Toms' big tortoise. As everyone mentions the road is no joke. Only attempt it during daylight with good clearance (over 5-6 inches), and if you are comfortable driving this sort of road (my husband is, but I am not). We made the rookie mistake of driving in with a low-hanging rear bike rack which got really beat up. We took it off for the drive out and stuffed the bikes in the car, this was much smoother and less daunting.

Amazing...and daunting

What Tom if offering here is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The remote setting and scenery are amazing. But what really took our breath away was the drive over Hurrah Pass. Because Tom has lived here so long and drives over the pass regularly, he downplays how rugged the journey actually is. I made the trip with my family in a rented SUV at dusk, and it was daunting. I wish the listing had encouraged me to rent a jeep in Moab and have fun with this road rather than worrying about damages to my rental car for much of the way. I will say that the journey back over the pass when we left felt easier since it was done in the morning and we'd grown somewhat used to the jagged path and terrifying drop-offs. Tom is preserving something incredibly special and is going to great lengths to bring supplies to this remote area. So, hats off to him even if the home we rented had floors that needed a good scrub and bed coverings that were not fresh (we washed them after arriving). The landscape and the feeling of this place are something we will never forget. Tom and his crew clearly work hard to make all this possible, and the pros far outweigh the cons.

Don't Pass This Up

This is one of the coolest places you could ever stay! We had such a great time and have never stayed anywhere like this. We had all the plans of what we were going to do in Moab, but we just decided to stay on the property and explore. Tom and Kobe were fantastic. Our nine your old daughter had a terrific time. Our dogs lost their minds. I don't think we can go to Moab again without staying there. Don't pass this up! Hope for a cool storm. Our two wheel drive Kia made it fine.

We loved this place!!!!

Everything was as stated in the listing. The views around the cabin were more impressive than I expected and the cabin had more amenities than I expected with it being "off-grid". Tom was great. If only staying two or three days then I recommend taking everything you need with you so you don't have to drive over the pass back to town. This place was a great experience!!!!

Great Stay, amazing scenery and wonderful Host.

One of the most scenic places in the country. We rode motorcycles from NC to here and made the trek of Hoorah Pass. Beautiful scenery everywhere you looked and always something to do or see. We rented a side by side in town and went even deeper into Moab. Our Host was great and even helped us bring one of the broke down bikes back over the pass. Highly recommended.

Beautiful setting

This property is rustic and not fancy at all but it has so much going for it, it’s worth forgoing the fluffy white towels and pristine housekeeping. It takes an hour of bumping along a very rough and dusty to get there and you must have a vehicle with good clearance and ideally 4wheel drive, otherwise you won’t make it. The owner is very helpful and good natured guy with a few good stories to tell. Kayaks and off road vehicles are on the property as well as many hikes and the best views you could ask for. Star gazing with a drink is a perfect way to end a day here

Get away!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Main House and highly recommend this home. Here's some takeaways: - The area surrounding the Main House is fantastic and there are plenty of hikes and other things to do to fill a week. The location is special! - Tom is great. Extremely knowledgeable and a concerned and helpful host. - Getting to the home will be easy for anyone with a high clearance truck or SUV (with off-road driving experience). For others with some sort of SUV, a few sections of the road might be a little over-whelming. Take your time and find the best path through the rocks and ruts. Try to relax and enjoy the drive. - We were glad we brought enough food for the entire week and did not have to drive back to Moab for supplies. I'd recommend sticking around the area and making the most of it rather than spending time going back and forth over the pass. (I imagine that for some folks, with the right vehicle, driving back and forth over the pass could be part of the fun.) - In this price range, you may expect a fancy house with fancy appliances, a gift basket waiting for you upon your arrival, etc. If you rent the Main House thinking that you are going to a fancy house, you will probably be disappointed. The house is a bit rustic, quirky, reasonably clean, and if you are not looking for fancy, you will probably love it. There are definitely some areas for improvement/fixes, but the surrounding area is so fantastic, that it's best to look past these minor shortcomings. - Be prepared to have neighbors close by. There are two hogans - one is about 50 yards from the main house and the other might be about 75 yards away. This seems perfect if you need additional places for friends or family members to stay. If you would prefer that any neighbors are further away, then the Condo may be the better option. Overall, fantastic experience and very happy to have had the opportunity to stay in the Main House.
