About Lake Isabel Cabin

Lake Isabel Cabin is ideal for guests who wish to experience camping in the Pike and San Isabel National Forest, yet sleep in a bed with a roof overhead. The modern cabin is full-service and can accommodate up to six guests, with convenient access to Lake Isabel, just three minutes away. Lake Isabel is one of the few lakes in Colorado developed purely for recreation. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the lake attracts many campers who come to hike, canoe, fish and spend time bird watching. St. Charles Creek flows near the cabin and offers an extra option for fishing.

Wood pile not restocked, screen door missing, inside locks not working, refrigerator door wouldn’t stay closed, bathroom floor wet from leaky toilet, dead flies everywhere, flue stuck or clogged so fireplace couldn’t be used anyway without smoke filling the room, sheets and towels were left behind, minimal silverware, no scrubbie for dishes & dishsoap almost gone. Overall cleanliness was very poor. I don’t know when the floors got mopped last or the tub scrubbed. It felt like some man’s rustic hunting lodge instead of a place to get away from it all and relax while enjoying the fire.
This was my third visit so I know how it’s been maintained in the past. Needless to say we were very disappointed and probably won’t be returning in the future.
This is a beautiful place and it should be treated alot better than it has been. Hopefully someone will look into this soon.

Great location, great price value for the money. However cabin needs a deep cleaning more often. It was evident some people did not clean as requested. Also, someone had a pet staying with them in the cabin. Would like to see more cleaning products on hand

We love this cabin. This was our 4th time there. Very relaxing and you can't beat the scenery. Hope to return many more times.

Great cabin and experience. The only complaint was that the range was on self clean when we arrived and was so hot that we had to unplug it, it was literally hot to the touch.

This was our first time staying
here, my husband, daughter and great granddaughter spending the night. My granddaughter and her husband stayed for the day which is nice because they live in Pueblo. We had a great time.
