Sawatch Base Camp - Backcountry Yurts

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars- A Wilderness Gem! My wife and I recently had the most magical four days at this Yurt, and we cannot stop raving about this hidden gem!🌲✨ From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning surroundings—the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. The yurt itself was not only cozy and well-equipped but also nestled in a picturesque spot that felt like a private slice of heaven. The attention to detail was outstanding. The thoughtful amenities, from the well-stocked kitchen to the comfy sleeping quarters, made us feel right at home. We enjoyed quiet evenings by the warm wood stove, gazing at the star-lit sky through the yurt's skylight—a truly enchanting experience. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed f

We had such a wonderful time at Sawatch Base Camp! Hiked in from the parking lot in about 4.5 hours. Spent a lovely evening cuddling up next to the fire and snacking on a cheese plate the host was able to sled up for us, all while enjoying the views of Turquoise Lake and Leadville. There was a small dusting of snow which made the next morning waking up extremely magical. We sipped coffee, straightened up, and headed out on our journey back. We were able to reach our vehicle in just about 3 hours. Overall, I highly recommend this yurt experience to anyone who loves the outdoors.

My partner and I used Sawatch Base Camp as our home away from home for a weekend in Leadville with our two dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better location, host, or cabin. I never expected a short two hour drive from Denver to provide us with the levels of beauty and seclusion that we were able to soak in. We arrived on Friday afternoon and were able to easily unpack our goods and get them settled in the cabin quickly. Our dogs were able to explore while we put a fire together in the provided SoloStove, which made starting a fire a breeze. With the fire providing us some extra light, we cooked dinner on the provided grill, and were able to enjoy our dinner with a bottle of wine, warmed by the fire and with a stunning sunset over the Sawatch range. A truly romantic evening was topped off

We decided we wanted a night away from our small but very popular mountain town. We came across this fantastic yurt and thought this might be perfect. We couldn’t have been more right. This beautiful little yurt is nestled in the Sawatch mountain range about 20 minutes outside of Leadville. Making it super convenient for anything you may have forgotten for your trip. Key points of our trip I loved: · The view is amazing. Make sure to make time for the sunsets and the sunrise, but most importantly the Moon rise. If you’re here during a full moon man, are you in luck? There is a skylight and a telescope for all my stargazing friends out there! · It's pet friendly which is key for my family of three! · The grill and patio set up are perfect for an outdoor dinner! · The ben
