As the name implies, Brock Hillside is located on the hill above the lake. It is a cozy two story cabin with a large screened porch, 3 bedrooms (3 queens and 2 singles) and one full bath with a tub/shower combo. There is also a native stone fireplace to keep you warm on cool summer mountain nights. Lake/river access is approximately 200 yards away.

Purgatory Ski Area is just over an hour, and Wolf Creek Ski area is an hour and a half. Pagosa Springs, CO is about an hour and a half away, boasting of the world’s deepest hot springs.
