The first paragraph is for the park itself, the second is for the restaurant / bar. The Park is absolutely beautiful! We showed up to the resort with no reservations and they had spots available for reasonable prices. Despite having guest wifi, It is pretty remote- so if you need to stop for fresh groceries your last chance is Ringo's. However, There is a store at the resort with drinks, snacks, alcohol, and fishing gear. There are boat and paddle board rentals for activities on the lake. While camping in July, the weather was nice and cool and only ever got close to hot around noon. At night it would get a little chilly but if you have blankets you'd be fine. There was a bear one night that climbed a tree above our campsites, but the park staff made sure to monitor it completely and have supplies on hand. It peacefully went back into the woods the next night. We went swimming in the lake and there were tons of crawfish, they didn't bite of pinch, just swam away backwards or sometimes accidentally walked on your feet lol. Overall it was super great. There is a restaurant at the resort with inside and outside seating. There is a bar indoor with wine, bottled drinks, and supplies/spirits for mixed drinks. We went Sunday night and they happened to have a live concert going outside. My expectations for the food quality were pretty low, and then I got the food and was BEYOND SURPRISED! The chicken sandwich was large and crispy, the fried okra was fresh. And as someone who has never had green chile- my mind was blown! I would definitely plan on eating here again if I was staying at the park/resort.

This is the little store near the dock and where the lights are is the reateraunt and bar.

So beautiful and peaceful! Very nice spot! We didn't catch any fish from the shore and most we saw were pretty small, however still a beautiful and relaxing experience

We reserved and paid via phone a cabin for the last weekend of May (2018). They guy that did the reservations told us our cabin number and offered to give us the receipt in person. We arrived on time for check-in and got the key to 'our cabin', when we open the door, surprise, it was another family in the cabin! We went back to the office and the receptionist said that this happen a lot, because some people do the reservations trough the phone and others trough the website. What? How irresponsable! He also explained that each cabin have 2 keys and that he keep one of the keys and the cabin occupants get the second key. He didn't understand why this cabin have 3 keys. But the true is that the front desk was so messy, towers of papers everywhere, the guy moved some stuff to get to the other stuff, it's was pretty bad. At the end, he called the owner and he agreed to give us another cabin. It is sad that they are so disorganized because the place outside is pretty and the cabins are not bad. I took a lot of pictures in the cute lake and enjoy the company of some friends that were staying in the campgrounds (trailers area) in front of the lake.

You could not ask for a more beautiful setting. It's a nice campground right on the lake with beautiful views. It has a wonderful restaurant and a small bar. There are cabins and a small motel there as well. The restroom and shower buildings were very clean. This is all In a forest setting. Whether you are just there to tent or you have a large rig, they can accommodate anyone. The fishing is great, the boating is wonderful and the hikes are long and scenic. The only negative thing I have to say (which did not effect my rating) is the check in process. Upon pulling in we stopped at the check-in booth where I was asked my last name then handed a parking pass and told where my site was. Unfortunately I was not informed about the Wi-Fi code nor was I handed a campground map. After I got set up I just made my way down to the main office and gathered everything I needed. I will definitely return next season

This place changed our lives. We drove into the San Isabel National Forest on Memorial Day weekend with our tent, no reservations and no idea where we would be able to stay for the weekend. As we trekked it further into the woods (for almost an hour) with our 2 kids we began thinking we might be in trouble when we stumbled across this little sign and almost missed the turn in. Once inside we found a friendly lady in the office that informed us she just happened to have some spots left but not for long. I think they were around $40/night. We were allowed to chose from any spot along the lake (this is where we started to get excited) with a fire box. After notifying us to put our food in our car so bears wouldn't try to get into our tents we went ventured ahead sure that the prettiest spots would already be taken. Our first view of the lake blew our minds. It's surrounded by mountains on both sides and you can see one of the Spanish Peaks in the background. There are tall trees everywhere and the tent spaces are incredible!! We could not have asked for a better spot and a week later we are still reeling from how lucky we got when we happened upon this park. With our tent right at the edge of the water and a stream running along the side we literally could not have asked for anything more. My 6 year old pulled in his first trout(s) here, my 2 year old sang while sitting on a log looking at the lake. It was truly magical. They had a restaurant with surprisingly good food, a store with anything you could really need in a pinch, clothing if you didn't pack enough, firewood, cabins, fish cleaning station, fishing and tackle items for sale. It was the whole package. The only downside is there were no showers. I was told the City of Trinity owns the park and they were "keeping up the bathrooms" and basically they became a health hazard they were so bad. So they decided to shut them down. We found a solution though!! The owners of the Cuchara Inn (Dani is her name) which is just up the mountain about 20 minutes (along a beautiful drive through the San Isabel forest) offered to let us use their showers in the Inn. She was happy to share them and even asked me to let other people know they are available so problem solved! Not only is Cuchara adorable but the shower was hot and the food at Luke's BBQ was awesome too!! Sooooo overall everything was perfect. Monument Park is a MUST SEE, MUST STOP, MUST DO atleast once. We will never forget our 3 days there. Check out the photos, no explanation needed!

Amazing place, friendly people, beauty abounds!  Comfortable accommodations and the cafe is great. Good fishing.

Mike's inn is perched on the banks of a rushing creek (and the lawn out back along the creek is pure paradise), and when you stay here, you feel welcome enough to feel like family, without all the social obligations that come with staying with family. Mike is a local legend, everyone knows him. He is the driving force behind the re-opening of the ski resort in Cuchara, and has been in the ski business his whole professional life. He is a gracious, kind host...quiet and reserved, but is happy to chat if you engage him. He's a SUPERB cook (and this is coming from a chef!), and his breakfasts are truly outstanding. The place is supremely dog friendly, with no extra charge for a pet. (A huge savings if you're staying a week.) Yes...this is an older home, converted to an inn. (Each suite has a full kitchen.) This is not The W. Don't come expecting that. We found our suite to be twice the size we expected, supremely comfy, and the price was spot-on for such a wonderful stay with breakfast every day, and an unlimited source of information about the area. Without question, we will be back!

We had a wonderful time staying with Mike while skiing Cuchara. Our room was huge with two bedrooms…read moreand a full kitchen. We especially enjoyed the wide selection of VHS tapes and cozy decor. Mike was an outstanding host with world class breakfasts each morning, top tier hospitality, and fun conversations. It truly felt as if we were right at home and part of the Cuchara family. Mike is deeply involved in the comeback of Cuchara mountain ski area and its was fun to stay with somebody so passionate about the success of this mountain town. We can't wait to visit again!

I haven't actually stayed at this hotel but I did recently work with someone from the hotel over…read morethe weekend (her name is Lauryn). We had some dear friends who were staying at the hotel and celebrating their anniversary. They mentioned where they were staying and I thought, I should call that place up and try to surprise my friends with something delivered to their room! I never really know who to ask to speak to for something like this so I just called and told the person who answered what I wanted to do. He immediately put me in touch with Lauryn. (Kudos to that guy who knew who I should be transferred to.) Lauryn wasn't there so I left a message. She called me back promptly, within 5 minutes. I told her what I was thinking and told her the name of the guests. Lauryn said she had met one of my friends earlier that morning and said she already knew about the anniversary and was in the process at that very moment of sending them a bottle of bubbly on the house. Immediately, I thought, this is a class act! I asked Lauryn if she could arrange to have a basket full of cheeses and meats delivered and maybe some fruit. She mentioned that there was an organic grocery store next door and that she would be happy to pick some items up for me. I told her the types of salami, cheeses, and other items that I thought they would like. She said no problem. Within 30 minutes, she sent me a picture of what she bought, took off all the price tabs and quickly bundled things up in a basket and had it delivered to them! Lauryn did something else that was really nice too but this review is already long and I think the description above will shed plenty of light on the type of top quality service you can expect when you come to The Blake. At the end of the day, you can own a 5 star hotel but if that hotel doesn't have exceptional staff members to help the guests out (and in this case, their friends from another state), you don't really have a 5 star hotel. All I can do is give them a 5 star review. I definitely know that I want to make a special trip here just so I can hand Lauryn a nice tip to thank her for helping me out so much!

The service we received was very nice, welcoming, and friendly, which made for a great start to the day. On top of that, the entire process was an easy transaction, and it was super convenient that they take credit cards for payment. The rental prices were also somewhat reasonable for a quick day activity. The only downside was that the boards themselves were not particularly great quality; they were kind of hard and thick, which made navigating the sand a little bit clunky. However, since these are rental boards and I am sure people beat them up constantly out on the dunes, we were totally okay with that. Overall, it's a super convenient stop right by the park entrance, and it definitely gets the job done for a fun day on the sand!

The RV sites are very close together, even though there is a lot of open, wasted space. The water pressure was a disappointment, too low at 30 psi. Our site was not cleaned up between stays, even though check out is 11:00 am and check in is 2:00. There was a bit of trash - candy wrappers, old banana peel, broken zip tie, etc. Watch out, took my dogs out for a potty walk after dark and found there are tons of sand burrs near the restroom. It's the perfect location but needs some TLC.

This place is tucked away with a couple of other hotels and ski-focused businesses. Our room was nice and large, including the bathroom. You were able to see the mountains from our room window. Since it was near the end of the tourist season, there weren't very many people staying there. Additionally, they have a parking garage at the bottom of the building which requires a code to access. They also had a restaurant and bar that we didn't take advantage of since the bar is only opened seasonally. There was a rec room with TV, pool table, foosball table, and piano. My only problem with this hotel was there was no air conditioning. I understand that most of the time a/c is not required given the area but it would have been useful. Having the window open didn't fully cool down the room. There was a box fan in the room, but it was so loud, you wouldn't be able to sleep it with it on. I liked where this place was located as it was near some walking trails. Also the stray dog cantina is right across the street (you can see my review). I will definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to others.
