    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.

    See all

    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!

    This is EXACTLY the kind of place I hope to find when I'm looking for a vacation. I'm not much of…read morea "hotel" person. 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!

    Since all the hotels were booked for Labor Day weekend, we had to stay outside of Taos. Luckily for…read moreus, we found this place in the Taos Ski Valley region. 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.

    Our family has stayed here multiple times. The rooms and service are first class.

Perfect if you have kids, as the gondola drops you right at the front door of the kids ski school! Cozy apres ski in the bar, with roaring fireplace and wonderful drinks and food. The restaurant is top notch, with a reasonably priced world class wine list. A gem in every respect!!
