Drop a line in the lake to fish during the summer months and go ice fishing in the winter- timing varies based on when the ice is thick enough. There is a nominal fee for fishing and NO Colorado license is required. The lake is open for fishing from May through October 31st! We provide the poles, tackle and bait. Also, we have two different kinds of boats for you to enjoy on the lakes in the Summertime- no extra charge. One is a 14ft rowboat, and the other one is a new pedal boat.

About Henry and Robin Reed
Hi, Henry and I (Robin) have lived in Colorado for 25 years and love the Rocky Mountains. It has been a wonderful place to raise our kids. We have explored many of the attractions here and there are things for all ages to enjoy!
When we moved to Colorado, we could hardly wait until our children were old enough to explore with us. When their grandparents retired here, they began teaching them how to fish for trout at the Rampart Range Reservoir. Being able to catch their limit has never been an issue!
We hope that you take the time to come to Colorado to relax, have fun and make some great memories!
Henry and Robin Reed purchased this house in 2013
Why Henry and Robin Reed chose Divide
We spent a lot of time looking for a special place to get away and relax. When we found this property, we fell in love with the lakes, views and wildlife. Each time we have stayed here we have had deer come into the backyard early morning and evening.
Having a place large enough for our immediate and extended family was important in case we wanted to get away to celebrate a special occasion. This mountain home's layout lends itself to privacy for more than one family.
Be ready for a photo opportunity when driving to the house because elk herds frequent the area!
Pack a picnic lunch and sit by the lake! There are several covered picnic benches and a bathroom by the lake as well. Drop a fishing line in the lake and catch a trout (we provide the poles and tackle)!
What makes this house unique
This is the only cabin in the area where we pre-purchase fishing passes for our guests, provide two different types of boats to enjoy (at no extra charge) and provide poles, bait and tackle. NO Colorado fishing license is required and the lakes are stocked twice a Summer with a variety of trout. Come try and catch a Golden Trout...it HAS been done!

Beautiful Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at the Widernest Cabin. It was close to Colorado Springs yet far enough away to escape the business of life. The cabin is beautiful and the view of the night sky was amazing. We enjoyed kayaking at nearby Burgess Lake and enjoyed the tranquil beauty of being in the Rocky Mountains.
The cabin is well maintained and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. An evening soak in the very clean hot tub is just what the doctor ordered. The owners have thought of everything you need to relax and enjoy your stay. Can't wait to stay here again!
Beautiful and relaxing and comfortable.... everything imagineable was provided!
Our family enjoyed staying at this beautiful cabin. Many wonderful memories were made. There was nothing lacking. This is probably the nicest property we've ever rented.
Great for our family!!
Family trip for 6 adults and a one year old. Everyone loved the location and the property! Very comfortable with everything we needed, including a high chair and a play pen! All agreed we need to make this a yearly trip!
Great Vacation!
Thanks for a wonderful vacation in Colorado! Cabin is in a great location that allowed us to enjoy many of the area attractions like Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cliff Dwellings and so forth. There is a local grocery store just a few minutes away and a Wal-Mart just a town away to get all of your grocery needs. Loved all of the extras that were included that we didn't have to worry about packing such a Pack N Play, high chair, kids toys, videos, and board games. It was wonderful sitting out on the deck using the hot tub or making smores by their fire pit. We also really enjoyed taking their boat out on the beautiful lake nearby. Enjoyed the cabin during our stay!
Beautiful cabin! Amazing area. Better than we could have imagined!
This cabin and area is the perfect retreat! We had the best time here. The pictures dont do this property justice. We were amazed and can't wait to go back! The lake is unbelievable and the views are breathtaking. We absolutely loved everything!
I loved it very much will definitely be looking forward to staying again!
It was a great property to stay at very clean and home like.

The lakes are amazing and there are several picnic benches. We have two boats you can enjoy too. One is a 14 foot row boat and the other one is a peddle boat. We provide poles, tackle and pre-purchase fishing passes. There is a view of Pikes Peak from the lake too!
You will see lots of wildlife and if you like to ride ATV's the Pike National Forest is just 2.5 miles away! Come enjoy our place and catch a trout!! They stock it twice a Summer and there are some golden trout in the lakes!
