BaseCamp74 is a private 77 acre parcel of land with the house being the only structure on the 77 acres. The nearest neighbors are more than a 1/2 mile away and the area is very sparsely populated. Access to the house is through 2 private gates so guests will experience total privacy.
Having your own vehicle is recommended. Taxi and Rideshare options are limited. Access to the house from CA state highway 74 is on an unpaved road. No special vehicle is needed except for the 2-3 times per year it may snow where a 4wd would be recommended. Snow will melt within a few hours in most cases and then normal vehicles should have no problem with access.
** PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING **
While the interior of the house has been designed and set up with all of the comforts of home, this is a WILDERNESS property. The natural surrounding of the house is both beautiful and unpredictable. While most days are calm, high winds can pick up unexpectedly.
The acreage is also home to a wide range of wildlife - within 100 feet of the house we have seen deer, bighorn sheep, bobcats, coyotes, snakes, lizards, mice, scorpions and spiders as big as your hand.
This is not your typical neighborhood Airbnb, but an incredible house that sits on untouched, sometimes rugged, high desert land. If that's not your cup of tea, we won't be offended if you look elsewhere. :)
Note: payment processing fees may be withheld from any refund upon cancellation.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
