Nice clean accommodations, kitchen, basic cooking & utensils, comfortable beds, and everything from 2 bdrm cabins to 5 bdrm house for rent. Fire rings, gas BBQ's and a playground for the kids outdoors. It was during the week after Labor Day so our host Jeremy was there to take care of things, and gave us some tips about the area & what to see & do. During summer season & on weekends there's a pizza restaurant open on site. Nearby is Bosque Del Oro wildlife preserve, one of the largest Elk herds in the US, Monument lake, North lake, Bear & Blue lakes, and others; trails, streams, 14'er peaks and pretty much anything you want to do outdoors. And the view! - wish I could post my pictures here! My idea of a slice of heaven!

The first paragraph is for the park itself, the second is for the restaurant / bar…read more 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.

The only thing that was a tad odd was the continental breakfast had someone serving it to you, which made you feel like you needed to tip. Which is fine, just unusual so I wasn't prepared when I stumbled out of bed and rolled downstairs, ha I would definitely stay here again! The electric car charging station was RIGHT next door, so that was GREAT!

We tried this place per Yelp and Expedia's customer review. We had stopped here overnight to rest…read morebefore heading straight to Denver. The location is great at it is close to the freeway but still quiet enough not to hear traffic. They showcase some memorabilia about their town and I love that small touch. The staff are accommodating and friendly. The room smells good, decoration is simple and importantly, it's clean. The breakfast is good with a small touch of personal service. They have a staff that plate your hot food and the rest is open to all. Keeps everything tidy and less people touching the food. We stayed again on our way back to Texas and the experience with the staff is still phenomenal. We will surely refer this hotel to our friends if they have to stop somewhere in Colorado.

INTIMIDATING Dog Policy…read more I understand - some previous visitors felt "intimidated" by a 50+ pound Dog so now the rest of us can't stay here as large Dogs aren't allowed. So unfortunate. Yellow Pine Ranch is where I learned about nature in the 1980s: "Cocklebur" the donkey who lived in the grassy field outside our cabin - he happily ate our hand-fed carrots. Horseback riding with my ol' friend "Taco," the great white horse with brown spots. And hummingbirds that would happily sit on your finger. My Senior Retrievers have traveled to Italy, the Texas Coast, and are possibly more well-behaved than some humans. It saddens my heart that a place nestled in what my Dad called "God's Country" doesn't welcome God's creatures. The management here could benefit from a reality check. So I don't meet their reservation requirements. I'm fine with that. SPECIAL NOTE ~ When I spoke to Diane today she could have *not noticed less* when I told her my family stayed here at Yellow Pines 40 years ago. How sad that is.

Hotel was clean, employees were nice, rooms were clean AND nice. What's more to say? The main things in a room are always shower pressure, airflow/AC/heat and tidiness. And look at that! All three here excelled! The restaurant downstairs was also a great place to order food to go and go back into the room to hibernate awhile and watch some trash tv. I will say though, the area around is pretty meh to walk around in. Great food choices for a small area, but I probably wouldn't walk around by myself if I were staying here alone. Great place to stay and highly recommend you to splurge a bit and stay here.

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!

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!

The HVAC system worked perfectly with modern climate controls. What a bonus to have the Canary brewpub directly downstairs. Good brews and cocktails with a limited menu of excellent food. If you are looking for lodging in Walsenburg, don't miss the opportunity of staying at The Lofts.
