About this property

Lakefront House in Paradise! LARGE DECK, HUGE VIEWS, AND CANOES!

Welcome to our lakeshore cottage!
Come and join our "family" of happy guests any time of the year.
Ahh.......Vacation time high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. This Shadow Mountain Lakefront home offers you the perfect “Getaway” you've always dreamed of. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat in a pristine natural setting or that quality vacation fun time with family and friends, this could be your “Slice of Heaven.”
Relax and unwind....... This cozy and charming house is nestled on the sparkling shores of Shadow Mountain Lake where the headwaters of the Colorado River join with it. You can enjoy a relaxing time on the spacious deck with breathtaking views of the pristine islands, white pelicans and majestic Shadow Mountain and the Never Summer Range as your backdrop. You know you have truly come home!!!
Enjoy a serene and magical view from the large deck or adventure out in a canoe, kayak or paddle board (with assorted lifejackets & paddles) all included for your use.
You'll likely see moose, osprey & pelicans during your stay!!!
If fishing is your thing, we hear it is excellent in this area. Wade out into the shallow waters or take your rig to the nearby boat launch for a day on both Shadow Mountain and Grand Lake. They join together through a channel on the other end of the lake. If it's river fishing you prefer, we have that too. Hopefully, you will be enjoying a fresh catch dinner! Let us know how you did!
The beautiful and quaint resort town of Grand Lake is only 3 miles away and offers great restaurants, gift shops, grocery stores, gas, miniature golf or you may decide to take in a musical at Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre and so much more. Continuing down the road from the town of Grand Lake just 2 more miles away, you will find the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, another icon of incredible beauty and beyond belief scenery and trails. (Another great place to view moose elk and deer.!)Wintertime is just as wonderful as the summer months. We offer the world-renowned Winter Park ski area only 40 minutes away as well as Granby Ranch ski area only a 20-minute drive. Out the back door, cross country skiing on the frozen lake is a great way to warm up your day and get that daily exercise. Or head over to Grand Lake Nordic Center (located at the golf course), YMCA's Snow Mountain Ranch or Devils Thumb for a day on the groomed cross country ski trails. Grand Lake is known as the “Snowmobile Capital of Colorado” with over 100 miles of trails in the Grand Lake area alone. Gear up and head out to play in the Colorado powder. Then, after a day of fun, you may want to stop in at the nearby “Hot Sulphur Mineral Springs” spa and resort. They offer 20 mineral pools of warm healing water, ranging from 98 to 112 degrees. This scenic 25-minute drive is well worth your time.

For starters, explore our info here, where you'll find answers to many of your questions. When you're ready to inquire or book, we will see it and respond shortly. Thanks!
Please come and enjoy “Lake Shore Cottage” and all that this lakefront location has to offer!

WINTER ACTIVITIES: XC skiing from the deck, skating on Grand Lake (free skate rental at the Mushroom Store in town), Snowshoe, and Downhill nearby (20 min from Granby Ranch, 40 minutes from Winter Park/Mary Jane), Tubing Hill (free) and XC nordic center at the Grand Lake Golf Course, Ice Fishing, Snow Mobiling (rentals available in town).

Grand Lake

The pellet wood burner was a cool feature, but someone who doesn’t know how to use it shouldn’t use it. It was very finicky and difficult to keep started. I got a message from the owner about a dirty pillow sheet. We have no idea why it was dirty or how it got dirty. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and had a great time.

Thanksgiving Escape

We escaped it all here over Thanksgiving weekend and loved it. Beautiful, peaceful experience. The house had everything we needed to cook for ourselves and relax. The owners even bought a brand new crock pot when I inquired about one. Magical backyard scene enjoyable from the great room. Easy drive to unbelievably gorgeous Rocky Mountain National Park and quaint Grand Lake downtown

A Peaceful Breathtaking View

This little gem was a peaceful getaway with a breathtaking view. It was surprisingly appointed with everything we needed! The kayaks were a bonus and the view from the lake to shore was memorable. It was just the peace and quiet we needed for a weekend and we wish we could have stayed longer. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see any Moose, and our only complaint would be the wish the beds were softer, but we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect

Could not have had a better time with our three year old. Place had everything we needed and more than we expected, the view was insanely gorgeous, and the outdoor activities were the best. Had so much fun using the kayaks, canoe and paddle boards and loved hanging by the fire. Had the best time.

Great Spot!

Epic mountain and wildlife views! Well appointed with art. We enjoyed the deck and kayaks between thunderstorms. Quick and easy trip into town. Enough space for 4 to sleep, eat and hang out very comfortably. We are local enough to know about the fire ban so we didn't get to use the fire pit. Hosts didn't communicate about that so I'd just check in with them if you are staying at the end of summer in Colorado!

Beautiful Setting, Great Place

The Lakefront House in Paradise has an absolutely gorgeous setting, right on the lake with a resident flock of white pelicans. Located behind a commercial area but very quiet and private. Kayaks and canoes a big plus, much better than a 2-hour rental at the marina. Also the best equipped kitchen we’ve ever had over many VRBO rentals. Bedrooms are compact but quite adequate and the bed was very comfortable. Recommended!

Grand Lake Getaway

This cabin was fabulous. The bedrooms and bathroom were clean and well-appointed. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and the deck. The kitchen provided everything needed to prepare food at the cabin and it was set up perfectly for multiple cooks to share the space. The deck was our favorite space. We spent hours watching pelicans, ducks, geese, and deer. We enjoyed using the kayaks on a quiet morning and exploring the lake and the islands. With the proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park, we spent part of two days hiking and driving to see moose, elk, marmot, chipmunks, and a snowshoe hare. My husband and I agreed that this was our best vacation in the past few years.

Pure beauty

The house is in a perfect location tucked away. The furnishings made the house feel like a cozy home with everything you could possibly need. The views from inside or on the deck were pure beauty. The proximity to the park was perfect. I truly enjoyed communicating with Tom and Kristin, they were quick to respond during the booking process. We definitely will return next year when our daughter gets married. Thanks for a vacation of pure beauty.

Great Stay in Grand Lake

Honestly, the deck overlooking the lake is ridiculous. One afternoon/evening out there justifies the entire stay. The kayaks and SUPs are just a bonus. And 9 minutes from the park entrance! Would definitely stay there again.

Worked Very Well for Our All-Adult Group

We enjoyed our stay, and the spaces worked well for our group of five. More could easily have stayed if there had been children who might have utilized the bunk beds. The cabin was very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed to eat in. One of us has a severe food allergy that makes it much better for us to eat in rather than dining out--thus the reason we LOVE VRBOs. Two of us are from Colorado Springs, the remaining three were visiting from Michigan and it was a great place to introduce them to Grand Lake and RMNP--fortunately, Trail Ridge Road opened just in time! The only minor criticisms we might have are (1) the mattress in the front bedroom was not at all comfortable; and (2) even with the instructions that it's easy to miss the road, we missed the road. Easy to miss is an understatement, and that was punctuated by the presence of the older mobile home right at the entrance--it's a bit off-putting, and makes one think you must be looking at the wrong road given the lovely pictures of the home. The travel trailer that's literally a stone's toss away from the lakeside deck was also unexpected, but the residents were relatively friendly and we probably bothered them more than they bothered us. Overall, we'd recommend this cabin to others and we left feeling a bit jealous of your lovely place.

If you are looking for a view this is the place! My boyfriend and I had the best time! The pelicans was a huge surprise, we both thought they was a warmer bird. We took trail ridge road 5 miles in and seen a ton of moose and elk! Sagebrush bbq and grill was the best! If we are ever back in grand lake we will definitely stay here again!

Amazing weekend in an incredible location

We had such a great weekend here. The views were unreal and watching the eagles soar from the comfort of the couch was almost meditative. The property is well kept, thoughtfully decorated and had everything we needed for a great weekend. We didn’t use the pellet stove but I can imagine how cozy that would be on a chilly evening. We’re already talking about trying to find our way back!
