About this property
Rest, Relax, and Explore at our charming forest Lodge by the Frederick Watershed
Start your next adventure here! Rest, relax, and explore the outdoors at our charming, cozy lodge by the Frederick Municipal Forest and Watershed.
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, large living room and gathering space, small library and den, private work spaces, an outdoor patio with grill and fire pit, access to outdoor decks, and a converted garage that serves as a 3-season indoor space with outdoor equipment and a bike work station, as well as other small group gathering spaces.
NOTE: We live next door and often walk through the back section of the property to access the trails. There is also a Hipcamp site at our pull-off area across the street.
