Perfectly situated along a Colorado Scenic Byway and adjacent to National Forest land, our basecamp offers the rare opportunity to host large groups—up to 30 guests—while providing everyone with their own private, high-end sanctuary.
Whether you are planning a mountain wedding, a family reunion, or a corporate getaway, Lostfork Basecamp blends the intimacy of private cabins with a vibrant communal spirit.
The Accommodations - The basecamp consists of nine distinct cabins, each designed with vaulted ceilings, clean lines, and large windows that invite the forest and mountain views inside.

The Studio Cabins (Cabins 7–9 - Compass Rose, Cross Country, and Cast & Tackle)
- Capacity: Each sleeps 2 guests.

Modern Amenities in Every Cabin - Every guest will enjoy the comforts of home in a rugged mountain setting:

The Community Experience - What sets Lostfork Basecamp apart:

- Prime Location: You are at the doorstep of Guanella Pass, offering world-class hiking, fishing, and leaf-peeping just minutes away.
Inside each cabin, you’ll have an intimate spot for meals, card games while finishing off the night after a day on the trail. You can look out the large windows at the trees or up at the stars, and dream up your next adventure. Or refresh with a well-deserved reset in the sleek full bathroom with an ultra-modern feel.
Spend the morning outside on your own cabin’s covered patio, where morning coffee or creekside daydreaming feels like your own little retreat. Or you can unwind in your private hot tub, nestled just outside your cabin. Steps away, guests also have access to LostFork’s on-site outdoor community center, which includes a cold plunge and sauna.
Whether you’re seeking solitude, fresh air, or just a change of pace, this is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and stay a little longer.
