Things to do
Bishop Castle
See Jim Bishop's creation! This beautiful castle was built by hand by Jim Bishop from 1969 to 2019 one stone, one log, one weld at a time. The late Jim Bishop passed in 2024, but his legacy lives on in this wonderful creation.
No more than 10 minutes from Lake Isabel, Bishop Castle is open 365 days a year, sun-up to sun-down. This great attraction is free, but donations are appreciated to keep it running!
Great Sand Dunes National Park
Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve has the tallest sand dunes in North America, covering about 30 square miles. While they are not the closest attraction to San Isabel, experiencing this park is worth while if you are from out of town! About a 2-2.5 hour drive from us, we also recommend stopping at Zapata Falls on your way.
Mountain Fishing
While Lake Isabel is just a short walk away, there are lots of waterways for you to explore. Be sure to check out our short list of nearby lakes and rivers.
Mountain Trails
The San Isabel National forest has no shortage of trails for every type of enthusiast. Our mountains have plenty of trails for hiking, mountain biking, off road vehicles, camping, backpacking, bird watching, nature hikes and YES, we even have KID FRIENDLY Trails. We have created a list of trails to explore that are in proximity to San Isabel.

The Lodge at San Isabel - Cabins, Restaurant, & Store
We have not been able to return to the mountain, these photos were sent to us.
As far as we know, The Lodge is still standing. At least one of our cabins has burned down, but we do not know the extent of damages to other buildings. We are still unsure as to when we can return to assess damages and will remain closed.
Thank you to everyone who has shown support during this time, we appreciate you!
All live music events are cancelled. The area has been evacuated. It can be upwards of 4-6 weeks before the fire is completely contained as it is currently at 0% containment and wind/weather conditions are unfavorable. We are hoping for sooner, but it can be extremely unpredictable.
Even after the fire is contained, it may take more time to be able to return to the area to assess damage and try to reopen. We will update if we can, but we have no other information than what is posted online.
Thank you to all of the personnel working the Aspen Acres fire, as well as the countless other wildfires across the state and country.
Official fire information can be found for the Aspen Acres fire on Watch Duty. Thanks for your support!
Thank you for all of the positive thoughts and prayers. We will update when we can open again.
