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.

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.

I've been here twice now and the cabin is the bombdiggity. I would have written in the guest book, but they tore out my last entry (rude) so I didn't bother this time. Other than that, the cabin is just perfect for a short getaway. The lake is in walking distance and the fireplace is the perfect touch. Don't make a fire if it's too windy, even in a fireplace - who knew! :)

What a wonderful place to spend time with the family. With only 1 bar of intermittent at best cell service and no internet, the members of our family (ranging from 2 years old to mid 50s) actually spent quality time with each other, preparing meals, playing board games, cleaning up after meals, going down the sledding hill across the street, etc.

There are lots of board games in the closet, and we brought some of our own. The sledding hill doesn't look big, but start mid way up the hill at first as it can be a quick ride down. If you sleep like the princess in "the Princess and the Pea", try bringing a hammock and sleeping in that, slinging the hammock between the sturdy posts in the bedroom as an alternative to the bunks or convertible sofa in the living room. Or bring an air mattress if you have one and prefer sleeping on one of those. The stove seemed practically new and was easy to use. Beautiful word work on the inside of the cabin. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and plates and cups, etc. Bring towels as recommended. We forgot a sippy cup for our two year old daughter but drove back toward I-25 to the Family Dollar store, and they seemed to have everything that a combination grocery store, hardware store, and pharmacy without prescriptions store would have, but is a 20 mi drive each way. Better not to forget anything, but if you do, Family Dollar is there. :) Thank you. This is a national treasure to be shared for generations to come that is a form of therapy that most families need. The three days and two nights did actually change us individually and as a family for the better.

Clean, large cabin , nice fireplace with wood provided. We went last spring to kayak, this time in January we had a great time sledding. The trail behind the cabin is a lovely walk. You cannot get a better cabin/scenery with this price range. Worth every cent and more.

The location of this cabin is amazing and room interior is beautiful.
There are some electronic goods, but there is not dryer. So, you should bring it and some towels.
We really enjoyed staying the cabin for 3 days.
