Fall get away

My husband and i, and our extended family stay in Grand Lake several times a year. When it is just Tim and I, we do not need a huge house. This cabin was perfect for us. It was clean and cozy, but not cramped. We had plenty of room when we returned drom our all day long trips.we enjoy the Columbine Lake area. We have stayed here several times. It is removed from tiwn , but close to everything we enjoy doing. It was a great stay, and as always , Grand Mountain Rentals are great hosts.

Poor property management/ great house!

Very nice house but rental/ property management company communication was poor. The house and area are great! We did not receive communication about check-in in a timely manner. I started calling 2 hrs before check-in to see if we could check in by chance early. The management company office where we needed to pick up key was closed for the day. We called all 3 phone numbers left on sign on door ( no communication about being closed for the day prior either), messaged on VRBO many times and finally an hour after the check in time posted, someone called us back (this was an hour after what VRBO said was check-in time) to give us the info of how to get a key to the house. We wasted 3 1/2 hrs of our time on vacation worrying if we even had a place to stay for the next 2 nights since no one would message or call back. After finally getting a call they said it was due to poor internet service. That doesn't make since, we called multiple times with no one calling back for 3 1/2 hrs. Very disappointed to lose our vacation time that would have been spent in Rocky Mnt National Park.

Clean cozy cabin

We enjoyed our stay in Scaffner Cabin. It was the perfect location for all the hikes that we did in Rocky Mountain National Park. We loved relaxing in the cabin or on the back porch after a long day of hiking. Even had a moose walk through backyard one evening! We would stay here again.

What could have been amazing fell flat

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A charming vacation home at first glance was not cleaned properly before our stay. The burners of the stovetop were absolutely filthy. The shower curtain was moldy and had to be bleached before we could use the downstairs shower. There was flammable items stored on top of the water heater. These items were all brought to the rental management attention. The management company refused to answer or fix.

Very clean, very orderly and the copious kitchen utensils made sure that mama got her wine bottle open and papa got to create an amazing dinner dish with the fresh porcinis harvested from the forest! Great location, very close to the town of grand lake and still much quieter and reserved.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an excellent rental experience. Very clear communication and easy check-in. The cabin was a good value and very well decorated and appointed. Peaceful coexistence with wildlife too! A moose grazed next to the cabin one day and a deer the next. Located in a nearby private development but only a 5 minute drive to downtown Grand Lake. Recommended!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was perfect for access to both Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Lake. The size of the cabin was perfect for our family of 4. Property manager was responsive and helpful. Inside the cabin itself I noticed a lot of dust on many surfaces, and some pots/pans on the shelf that were not fully cleaned.

Cozy, relaxing cottage

This property was perfect for me, my husband, and my two boys ages seven and five. We checked in after hours but the property management company made it really easy. Everything is exactly as described in the listing. The fireplace is gas which was a pleasant surprise. We had a contact the property management company once during our stay and they were very responsive. The location is great and we loved being able to just walk around the neighborhood on the roads. The only thing that was missing was tissues! Both of my sons had a cold so we used toilet paper until we could go buy some tissues. Pretty minor and easily resolved issue. :). But overall an excellent and relaxing visit! Thank you!
