Ryan's Retreat - Sleeps 16! Perfect getaway for the large family!

*This cabin is located in the Town of Grand Lake, NOT Estes Park*

Located just 10 minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, and only a short 5-minute drive to the heart of Grand Lake, this expansive home is the ultimate year-round retreat for families, adventurers, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. With room for everyone to relax and spread out, this multi-level home offers comfort, space, and stunning mountain views from nearly every window.

On the entry level, you'll find a cozy living area, a full bathroom, and the perfect bunk room for kids or larger groups—featuring three bunk beds (two twin-over-queen and one twin-over-twin) and plenty of space to unwind.

Head upstairs to the main level, where a spacious open-concept kitchen and living area welcomes you in. Vaulted ceilings, a grand stone gas fireplace, and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains create the perfect gathering space. This level also includes two private bedrooms: a queen bedroom with a full bathroom just outside the door, and a serene primary suite with a queen bed, attached private bath, and a gas fireplace for those crisp Colorado nights.

The top level features a fun and cozy loft lounge—complete with comfy couches, a TV, and an impressive movie collection—sure to be a favorite hangout for the kids. Just off the loft, you’ll find a fourth private bedroom with an attached balcony for morning coffee or evening stargazing, and a bathroom conveniently located just outside the door.

You are sure to enjoy the large deck equipped with comfy outdoor seating and a BBQ grill, ideal for dining under the stars or simply watching for local wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled—moose, elk, and deer frequently wander by!

Whether you're here to explore RMNP, relax by the fire, spend a day on the lake, hit the snowmobile trails or simply soak in the mountain serenity, this beautifully laid-out home is your perfect Grand Lake getaway.

Pond Hockey Hangout

The property management was responsive to queries and worked with our timing issues. The location was in a great setting, make sure to have AWD in winter. The home slept 11 but could easily sleep more. Sheets and towels were fresh. The grill worked, there isn't much more we could ask for.

New Years Family Vacation

We had an amazing time in this home as we arrrived after christmas and left on the New year day! My family and i enjoyed the scenic views, the adventures and nearby activities. To top off, the snow was what we were not used to but enjoyed everyday of our stay. We will definitely visit again in a near future.

Great Location

This house was the perfect place to stay for our visit to the Rocky Mountains. The town of Grand Lake was adorable and the house was very close to restaurants, stores, and the park. The lady at Grand Mountain Rentals was very professional and helpful! Would definitely stay again.

Great Rental Cabin

This place is great for a large group. Very nice outdoor areas, easy to find, spacious interior and clean. For how nice everything in the house is, a better grill would be nice. It worked though and we cooked some really nice meals in the house.

Loads of fun

We had a wonderful time our neighbors were so nice. First vacation with all the grandkids so our normal fun thing when there were limited. We found out-put and the hover cars and race cars. Kids and adults had a blast all day. Three straight years in that area and will still go back as much as possible

Just Like The Picture

The property and location is honestly hard to beat! The views are amazing. The downtown area isn't far from the property either. Accessing the main living area is a bit tricky, as you have to enter from the 3rd floor and go up to the main. The kids loved it haha, not so much the older adults. There is ample space for the entire family. Even with the max of 16 people you still dont feel squished. The fireplace in the living area worked flawlessly which was a plus. Unfortunately the fireplace in the main bedroom did not, we attempted several times for several days. The check in process is a bit frustrating. Instead of checking in with a code or a key box located on the property, you have to actually drive into town and go to the office. So all those that's had a long flight, drive or the airport has just frustrated you, you still have to drive to the office before entering the beautiful property. The office was very helpful and even allowed an early check in due to our flight being really early in the AM. We do feel that check out is extremely early at 10am however, I'm sure this is done for a reason. All in all we loved our stay.

Convenient location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay, and only minutes from Grand Lake. The office staff located in Grand Lake was professional and accommodating. They even mailed to my daughter some clothes she forgot at the house when we left. With that said, this is a beautiful home that is being allowed to fall into disrepair. Many of the windows was not operable, and without A/C, was an annoyance. The deadbolts on the exterior doors were also difficult to operate. The rot on the handrails of the second story deck was so deep the rails were no longer structurally sound. There was also some misc. debris and roof shingles littering the lot. A $1,000 bill and a handyman for 3 or 4 days could put this place back into shape.

Beautiful location! Fun times

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a wonderful time together. Plenty of room for everyone. Beautiful home and simply decorated. There should be more maintenance done on this house, however. The window on the left side of the fireplace leaked badly during a Mountain rain storm. Several lightbulbs were out and we especially missed the one in the refrigerator that was out. A few repair and maintenance touches would make this outstanding stay. As is I would give 3-4 stars.

Beautiful Views & Great Location

Stayed for a long weekend and went fishing on Grand Lake and Lake Granby. House was equipped with everything you needed, including kitchen items and bathroom essentials. Home had beautiful views of the mountains (and the recent burn area) and less than a 5 minute drive to RMNP and Grand Lake. We saw a mama moose and her baby at the end of the driveway, across the street. The long driveway was spacious enough for us to park our pontoon. You won't be disappointed! Hope to return in the future! Thank you.

Nice mountain getaway

We had a family reunion at Ryan’s retreat beginning March. The stay was awesome, we had everything we needed in this house. Kitchen was full of kitchenware, appliances and other stuff. Although we got our skillet to make eggs in the morning. I would suggest host to add more bath towels and warm blankets, since third floor is not that warm. Also I would suggest to add rugs in the bathrooms since the tile floor is cold in bathrooms. Make sure to get propane tank at the office ahead of time, so that you don’t have drive there when you are grilling. Overall we really liked our stay, the house is very nice and clean, views are awesome and can enjoy that from family room. Thank you for such a nice house!

Colorado Christmas

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Ryans Retreat. Everything was great, from check in to check out. We were able to get into the property early, which was a life saver as we arrived in Grand Lake several hours before the posted check in time. Everyone in the office was very friendly and helpful. The bunk room was a little chilly so the staff brought us a space heater. The roads and driveway were plowed. The house was very clean and well stocked with essentials for cooking. We would definitely stay at this property again. The Mountain Market was well stocked with all the things we needed for 3 days of meals. We ate at the Sagebrush and the food was very good. We did a snowmobile guided tour through Grand Adventures that was awesome! We did a sleigh ride through Rocky Mountain Stables that was okay, but I would probably recommend finding a different place. We had 11 people in the house and it was very spacious and comfortable.

No Window Coverings

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great property. Great location. We had a wonderful time with our extended family of 12. Be aware... there are no curtains/blinds in this house. Absolutely no privacy or way to keep the bright afternoon sun out. Even the window in the first floor bathroom shower is completely exposed. We felt like we were on display, especially at night with the lights on inside. Because of that, we won't rent this home again. Otherwise, it was a great place to be.

Good option

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is in a great location. It is within a few minutes drive of Grand Lake Village and Rocky Mountain National Park but in a quiet area. We saw deer and moose. It is large with four bedrooms and four bathrooms so it suits a family or several couples. The lack of window coverings in the bedrooms and baths and some maintenance issues are a problem. There are lots of stairs.

Even in the bathrooms and there are neighbors. You will be up with sun unless you get creative like taping the black trash bags over you bathroom windows. The owners have been told many times according to the Mng. company yet no change. Owners: At least do the bathrooms and bedrooms. Then the place would be perfect

Great space!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property has great space for a large group. The location is convenient to town and many outdoor activities. I would recommend hiking to Adams Falls and continuing past the falls another mile or so. We did the hike with grandparents, and toddlers and had no problems. We saw several moose and deer along the way. I would recommend the property owners invest in some outdoor seating for the large deck off the great room. There were only three cheap plastic chairs and one was broken. It would have been nice to have a place to eat and gather outside. Grand Mountain Rentals was very easy to work with and we will rent from them again next time we are in the area.
