Summary:
Historic Home on Main Street, Dog Friendly with Hot Tub in Downtown Red Lodge
The Space:
Base Camp @ Crossers Station is the perfect place for visitors looking for a beautiful home in an ideal location. Named for its proximity to everything Red Lodge has to offer, the Base Camp is right on Red Lodge’s main street with downtown shops and restaurants within walking distance, Rock Creek just one block away, and it is a short drive to the ski hill and Beartooth Highway.
This beautiful, unique home is steeped in history. When the Beartooth Highway officially opened in 1936, Red Lodge businessmen sought to open new restaurants, gas stations, and motels. One of the better-known roadside inns was the “Crosser’s Super Service and Auto Court.” Originally, the property consisted of a gas station called “Crossers” and across the street was the “Motor Inn Motel.” While sections of the Motor Inn Motel have been removed, the three buildings on this property, while updated, are the original Motor Inn structures.
Base Camp @ Crossers Station is one of those three original Motor Inn Motel buildings. This 3 bedroom home comfortably sleeps 6 people and is ideal for those who want to explore all the town of Red Lodge has to offer, and all within walking distance! The home is just blocks away from amazing restaurants and quaint shops that make Red Lodge a “destination location!” The home has a fully stocked kitchen, one full-bath, and a spacious living and dining room. There is also an outside patio area with a firepit and grill to enjoy! As a bonus, you can see the Beartooth Mountains from this historic home located on the corner of the main street in Red Lodge!
Base Camp is conveniently located kitty-corner to The Roosevelt Center, Red Lodge’s vibrant hub for art, culture, performances, receptions, conferences, and community gatherings. With both indoor and outdoor spaces designed for creativity and connection, The Roosevelt Center hosts a variety of events year-round. Stay at Base Camp and be front and center for everything happening at this dynamic venue
If you have more than 6 people in your group and you would like to rent the other unit on the property, the Cornerstone @ Crossers Station is a cozy studio style home that is right next door!! The Cornerstone comfortably sleeps two with a Kitchenette, full bath, patio with firepit, BBQ grill, and a cozy gas fireplace in the living room. Inquire with us for availability and if you would like more information on renting both properties.

The Neighborhood:
Red Lodge, nestled in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains, is a wonderful place to visit if you are looking for family fun, a place to touch the wild, or just a chance to let your hair down. Whether you are wearing Birkenstocks or cowboy boots, you will find something to do here. (Although downtown is paved and we even have sidewalks, Jimmy Choos are probably not a great idea!)
In winter the road ends here. Downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, sledding and sleigh riding are just the short list of activities that you can do when visiting us.
In summer we revel in the Beartooth Pass opening. We are only 68 miles from Yellowstone Park, but plan on a good two hours` drive as the “Pass” is stunning in high mountain vistas, rocky cliffs, and jeweled lakes. The Custer National Forest is a haven for wildlife including elk, moose, mountain goats, big horn sheep, bears (black and grizzly), mountain lions and wolves. Golden marmots are often seen dashing across the trails. Golden and bald eagles often visit our area, as well as sandhill cranes and blue herons.

Red Lodge, Montana is a rural community that does offer internet and cell service throughout most geographic areas but, some locations are completely void of any internet or cell service. In town and within a 3-5 mile radius of downtown you will enjoy solid cell signal but during times when our population increases due to events, celebration (such as the Fourth of July), or emergency situations such as a wildfire you will notice that these online and cellular services slow down and sometimes, they can slow down to the point where you have to wait to place a call. We can’t do anything to help in these situations, so we encourage people to enjoy the freedom of being “unplugged” and to be patient.
Interaction with Guests:
Guest will receive emails and text messages prior to arrival date with directions and lock box code and pre-stay information.
