About this property

Grand Lake Mountain Retreat with Panoramic Mountain Views Near Slopes & Trails

Come enjoy the great outdoors with the neighborhood moose, fox, deer and beaver with unobstructed views in the mountains! Come relax on the large deck and view the mountain foliage, moose, fox, deer, wildflowers, hawks, eagles and haron in the meadow outside the front door while listening to the babbling brook and rustling Aspen trees. The sunsets and starfilled nights end each perfect day.

Our luxurious Grand Lake, Colorado mountain home offers the complete Rocky Mountain and lakes experience. Our updated house is serene and secluded with panoramic, unobstructed beautiful mountain and wild life views offered from the large private deck while being minutes away by foot and car from everything you want to do and see during your Grand County vacation. Walk out onto either of the 2 decks each morning to be greeted by the mountain views right in front of the house and aspen groves behind you!

Walk, bike, ATV or snowmobile to the Arapaho National Forest trailhead 1/2 mile down the road, drive 5 minutes to Lake Granby and Shadow Lake and drive 10 minutes to the village of Grand Lake and its shores and be within a 1/2 hour from 2 major ski resorts.

The home was built in the summer of 2013 and is completely updated to make your stay luxurious and comfortable. Our home is 3 floors, with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 decks and sleeps 8.

The 1st floor, offers a private bedroom with a queen bed with its own bathroom, and a large laundry room with a front-loading washing machine and dryer. The 2nd floor has an updated, fully equipped cook’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances and in-kitchen dining table. The main sitting area with floor to ceiling views is on the main level with a 52” HDTV with Dish Satellite TV. The large main deck sits off the 2nd floor, with panoramic views of the mountains and peek view of Never Summer peak. The deck has a dining table, couches and chairs and gas BBQ (seasonal weather permitting and newly purchased June, 2019.) 2 bedrooms with queen beds are on this floor, sharing a fully updated full bathroom. You hear the flowing creek while you sleep!

The 3rd floor has a loft with a private master bedroom with a king bed, walk-in closet, Dish Satellite TV and large bath with soaking tub. The master bedroom has a private balcony to enjoy views of the aspens and wildlife with your coffee.

No matter the season, the nearby outdoor wonderland offers hiking, trail running, biking, ATVing, snowmobiling, kayaking, SUP’ing, boating, swimming, fishing, golf, skiing, snowboarding, cross-county skiing and snow-shoeing and anything else imaginable all within minutes of our home. Most of these activities are just outside our front door, including all trail activities and ATVing and snowmobiling from the house into the Arapaho National Forest just 5 minutes from the house and beyond. Watersports are 5-10 minutes away at the lakes, with nearby rentals available for any equipment.

Downtown Grand Lake and Granby offer many activities and entertainment for the whole family. We like to sit on the balcony and watch the moose and deer graze in the meadow in front of the house.

Moose Country

We chose this location because we wanted a chance at a white Christmas and to see some moose, and we got both. We stayed the week of Christmas and the snow was pretty light but we got a light dusting every day. We saw eight moose while we were here, two mother calf pairs in RMNP and a group of four bulls in a field just a few miles from the house.The cleanliness of the house was just ok. It’s unfortunate that the dining table does not seat eight, since the house sleeps eight and that’s how many were in our party. So we could not all eat dinner together. The house served its purpose as a good location to hang out and explore the area.

beautiful place

Lovely house and beautiful setting. Major common area faces west, as does the deck, which is amazing but the sun does beat down -- would be even better with some umbrellas as it was hard to enjoy the deck in the afternoon sun, and the living room gets super hot too. Similarly, morning sun into the master bedroom is lovely but more shades would be welcome. Nicely stocked with spices, coffee filters, dish soap etc. Read your checkin instructions before you get to the front door! as you won't have service for the 5 miles or so from the main road.

Great getaway

We loved the quiet location while still being close enough to visit the park and all the local trails. The owners were great to work with and provided answers to all of our questions and even suggested restaurants and activities. The home is spacious for for a family to spread out for privacy but still spend quality time together. We spent every evening on the deck and had everything we needed to cook most meals on site. Great place to stay with excellent hosts. We left an item behind and they contacted us right away and shipped it to us. Highly recommend.

Fantastic

This home is just as beautiful in real life as it is in the photos. The huge front porch faces west and it the perfect spot to watch the sun go down over the mountains. It is serene and quiet, and perfect for those looking to get away. Every aspect of the home itself is as described by the owners. We found it to be neat and clean, well-furnished, and extremely comfortable. The house is located just miles from RMNP, so after a long day of hiking it's just a short drive back to the comforts of this home. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Grand Greatness!

A family trip for 6 adults, this was a wonderful home! There was ample space for each us to have privacy, bedrooms and space as needed. Even my elderly parents (capable of handling steps to the main floor/living space) did well staying in the basement level bedroom. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare daily meals. It was beautiful waking up to birds singing, the brook babbling, and sun peeking through the windows. The landscape is simply gorgeous. Deer, fox, hawks and lots of birds entertains us at the cabin. We experienced a couple of storms with low cloud cover which was a neat experience to watch roll in as well. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, as well as driving to the nearby reservoir, Lake Granby, Grand Lake, RMNP and more. Such a wonderful "homebase" for our CO summer vacation. We appreciate the hospitality and comfort offered by this beautiful home!

40th anniversary with just the family

Beautiful setting, away from the "crowd" in Grand Lake. Bedroom layout allowed 3 families to have alone time when it was needed. Kitchen/living room was successfully employed for "whole team" dining, discussion, relaxing, and lifelong memory creation.

Would not stay again

I questioned whether the property was cleaned between rentals. Initially we were greeted by stains on the stairwell carpet, filthy cold air returns, smudges all over sliding glass doors, patio furniture misplaced, decorative pillows askew, dirty stove, freezer, a very dirty kitchen sink, floors that looked less than freshly cleaned. As time continued we found moldy laundry from the last guest in the washer, a tub that was brown with a very slow drain, orange mold on the shower curtain, a BUNCH of nuts/debris between the couch cushions. Then on our final night when hand washing dishes as I had done the entire stay, happen to open the dishwasher and found the previous guest dishes. The condition of the house was unacceptable. Reported it to the owners and while they initially acted very concerned, did not follow up with us as promised. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it if you looking for a relaxing vacation.

Great home and location for family with college students

We loved our stay at this cabin! There was 8 of us - my husband and I, my parents and our college aged daughters plus 2 friends. We had plenty of room! The cabin is tucked away in a beautiful area, a couple miles off main road in a neighborhood, but still private. The area was included with the fire in October 2020 and you can still see burned out trees but it has also lent itself to some of the most beautiful wildflowers I’ve ever seen! The valley in front of the cabin is full of flowers and we’d often see deer grazing there. The cabin comes fully equipped - pots/pans, cooking utensils, spices, coffee maker, washer/dryer, plenty of towels. We cooked most meals and never didn’t find what we needed. The area was perfect for us. We had our side by side and found lots of trails close by to ride. We rode, we fished, we hiked and all was within an hour. Our favorite spots were Monarch Lake, Adams Falls and riding through Arapaho state park. For food, Sagebrush in Grand Lake was pretty tasty and had some interesting choices of meat. Best breakfast was Fat Cat Cafe in Granby. Loved this cabin so much we’re already trying to figure out when we can do this again!

Great views, quiet and peaceful

We loved everything about the property. The kids loved the proximity to hiking at RMNP and horseback riding at Snow Mountain Stables. Mom loved the front deck and the hummingbirds that would come visit as she had her morning coffee. My wife and I enjoyed the upstair suite to ourselves. Our only complaint is that we never got to see the bear from the pictures, which honestly I wasn’t sure I wanted to meet as I took the garbage out. Everything was wonderful

It worked

This property worked out well for four ladies as we each had our own room. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue. The cleaning staff left laundry in the dryer and several places were dusty. Know that you travel several miles on dirt road to get to the house. Otherwise the house is workable for a group.

Nice views!

The house has a great view, with deer and chipmunks visiting multiple times a day. It's only a 20 min drive from the RMNP entrance. The owners were great about quickly responding to our texted questions. The kitchen had a lot of essentials left from other guests (salt, pepper, sugar, etc) but there were also a lot of ants in the kitchen. The wifi works well (2 kids playing Minecraft, 2 adults trying to book last minute timed entries, and one adult working from home was well tolerated). The beds were very comfortable for the 4 adults and 2 kids that stayed. Some things to consider with little kids: all of the sinks are bowls, so even our 9 yr old needed to stand on our cooler to reach while brushing his teeth. Previous guests had knocked the closet doors off their tracks, so that was a safety concern with our youngest, who likes to open every door. We did have trouble finding washcloths because they were still sitting wet in the washing machine. But overall, once we were settled in, we had a great stay with pretty much everything we needed at the house.
