About this property

Quintessential Lake House on the shore of GL, awe-inspiring views

Enjoy making ever-lasting memories at our Cabin. In the Spring through Autumn (typically May - October) we offer a canoe, 2-kayaks and paddle board from our private dock where you may fish and play on the water all day or relax by the camp fire while you roast marshmallows and enjoy family laughter.

Year-around visit our old western GL town which is 1 mile away from the cabin. Shop for souvenirs, play mini-golf and dine. RMNP is only minutes away offering amazing views, hikes and wildlife around every corner.
Let us spoil you with a fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and spa like bathrooms. Our Grand Lake Cabin will give you the wonderful vacation you worked so hard for and deserve.

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Lake . The house was updated and cozy . Since we flew in we were delighted with having spices , oils, and food storage items ( foil & plastic wrap ) for left overs . The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards . Even tho the water was freezing . We strived to keep the fire pit going to warm up and go back . The town is very close with a nice variety of restaurants and in the morning hit up Jump Start bakery’s the staff was delightful . Take the time to go to Adams falls a nice easy walk .

Beautiful place!

We were craving a true lakeside getaway since Colorado has so few waterside homes like this one. We snagged a booking last year and the house did not disappoint !! Highly recommend to anyone. Our family had a wonderful time with the yard, dock, boats and gorgeous view.

Great First Lake House Vacation!

Our family had an amazing experience staying at this beautiful, quintessential Lakehouse. It was everything as advertised. This was our family’s first Lake vacation, and it could not have been better. The owner, Patty, was very communicative and great to work with. We have four kids whose ages range from 5 years old to 13 years old, and they all enjoyed the house. The location of the house, and the lakefront property was absolutely stunning. We definitely plan on returning and the future.

Great views and space!

There were us and one other couple staying with us and it was perfect! They stayed on the second floor with a bathroom while we stayed on the first floor with our own bathroom. Lots of great toys for the lake (kayaks, canoe and paddle boat). The only issue we had was with the WiFi so if you need to work from the cabin it may be a good idea to check with the host to see if it’s working. Would stay again!

Beautiful Cabin on Grand Lake

We had a great stay and experience and definitely would recommend to others. The location is wonderful, a brief drive to Rocky Mtn Nat Park and a short drive or healthy walk to town. The house was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Thanks again!

Slice of heaven

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute we spent at this cabin right on Grand Lake. We fished and used our paddle boards, October has minimal to no boat traffic so the water was primed for paddle barding. Our son perfected his cast and caught rainbow trout. We came prepared to bake cookies but the house was already stocked with a mixer and cookie sheets. Also one of the few VRBOs we’ve rented that is so stoked with toiletries: Lotion, Kleenex, shampoo, conditioner, that was GREAT! Also, my husband is super picky about mattresses and he LOVED the downstairs king. We are excited to bring extended family here.

Cabin on the lake

We had a wonderful time staying at the cabin on the lake. My boys loved getting out on the water. It was very peaceful. We loved hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park everyday and checking out the quaint town of Grand Lake. Patty is a great host and provided everything we needed at the cabin!

God’s Country….

We have lived here all our lives and never get tired of seeing Grand Lake. The view from the Cabin is wonderful. The Cabin is clean and comfortable and sits on the Lake looking North towards the town. Host provides a full package of entertainment packages on two new TV’s. Note, you cannot stream on them if that’s something you like to do. Host provides lots of water craft entertainment too. We look forward to returning to this beautiful cabin.

Wonderful Property in a World Class Location

I have grown up visiting Grand Lake. A lot of the VRBOs there are old properties that take advantage of the great location to provide a sub standard experience. Not this property! It’s very comfortable and clean and the unit owner does a great job.

Great property!

This house is situated right on Grand Lake. Waking up to see the beautiful lake against the mountains never gets old. Our grandkids were over the moon casting off of the docks and going for paddle boat rides. This property is immaculate, comfortable and very well equipped. The hosts were great to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed out little get away and would definitely come back again! Thank you!

Awesome home on Grand Lake

I highly recommend Patty's home for your next Colorado trip. Set right on Grand Lake, the views from the house are stunning. It feels like you're looking at a painting. The house itself was spotless and so comfy. Not only were the beds and couches great, but the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Check it out before you go shopping, as you probably only need to buy the food you want to cook. The 4 of us had hot water for every shower and the washer and dryer looked brand new. Stream whatever you want from either tv, cook on the grill, enjoy the fire pit, fish from the dock, take a boat out or just relax with a cocktail on the pergola. This house really had it all. We traveled into Rocky Mountain National Park multiple times. The Grand Lake entrance is about 10 minutes away. There was never a line to enter, unlike the busier Estes Park entrance. Plenty of good hiking on the west side. And the town of Grand Lake is very charming. There are good restaurants and some cute shops. The local market has all the basics, but you may want to travel to Granby for your big shop. Patty was very communicative and a great host. She welcomes you into her home and gives you all the information you need. If you decide to book, please check out the home's website she provides. It tells you the history of the home and makes you feel like you're part of the family. I really can't recommend this home highly enough. All my friends agreed that it was just perfect. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in such a beautiful home in such an awe-inspiring location.

Cozy Lakeside Cabin

The scenic views from the cabin over Grand Lake were spectacular - especially at sunrise! The entire property was spotless upon our arrival. The kitchen has top of the line appliances and ample counter space. The owners provided a wide array of consumables so that all we needed to bring was food and beverages. We were two couples traveling together, and with bedrooms and baths on both floors, each couple had ample privacy when not enjoying the open living area and kitchen together. The owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive- I would highly recommend this property!
