Our family recently returned home from a wonderful week long stay at this cabin. Michael was so nice to work with, everything was as described, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of rental or location. The cabin was clean and we felt right a home from the moment we entered the doors. The town of Grand Lake was charming and we loved the putt putt golf on the board walk. It was great to be centrally located for hikes into the Rocky Mountain National Park and the Arapaho National Forest. We set one day aside for shopping in Estes Park, and another day for boating and fishing on both Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake. Of course no matter what we did each day, we would return home every evening and fish in the river as the sun set or maybe just watch the resident river otters at play. The roar of the river was so peaceful and the perfect way to relax at the end of each day. The weather was excellent and that combined with the perfect cabin, perfect host, and perfect location made it severly hard to want to come back to our home state of Texas.

My husband of one day and I were so happy with our choice. The river flowing right by the cabin made us feel we were away from everything! Perfect setting for our perfect honeymoon. The fireplace was cozy and the cabin was too- not dated like many I've seen. We cooked amazing meals and found some wine to go with it right in town. We felt like Grand Lake was "ours" this time of the year. Not many people wandering around :) Thank you!

This cabin is a dream-come-true kind of place! The Colorado River is actually wider than it appears in the photos and although it sits not far off Highway 34 the melodic rush of the tumbling water wipes away any traffic noise and fills your mind with peace and serenity as well as visions of rainbows [if you're a fisher kind of person!]. It was perfect for our extended family vacation and had plenty of room for the 8 of us while providing privacy when desired. The beds were wonderful and the decor so cozy it warms your heart to just walk into the cabin. Definitely a go-again kind of place!

Wonderful Cabin on the Colorado River

Just spent a week enjoying this wonderful cabin alongside the Colorado River. Minutes to the quaint village of Grand Lake, Co. just outside the RMNP. Enjoyed hiking in the park, touring Brekenridge and Leadville, Co., or just relazing and reading a book on the deck enjoying the roar of the river - a few feet away. Amazing location was close to groceries (Grand Lake and Grandby), restaurants and shopping in Grand Lake. Was able to hike several trails in RMNP, within 10 min. of the cabin. Michael was very helpful and the rental process was easy. Don't miss the Fat Cat Cafe, Sagebrush BBQ Grill, the Grand Lake Brewery or Ice Cream at Grand Lake Chocolates. The locals were very friendly and helpful!

Awesome Family Vacation Rental

My family and I just spent three nights in this cabin and had a wonderful time. The pictures accurately reflect the rental's appeareance. If anything, it was more beautiful than I expected. It was cozy with all the amenities. The place was extremely clean and well-maintained. It sits right on the river and has awesome views. It is close to town and there are many nearby activites. We had our two children with us and we went to the Grand Lake Nordic Center a couple of times. They have snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and a tubing hill that you can sled down. The town also had a small ice skating ring for the kids to skate on. We also went to the Hot Sulpher Springs which is only 30 min away from the cabin. Mike was very easy to deal with. The rental process was easy and painless. What I also loved about the cabin is that it had everything that you needed there for you. You really only need to bring your clothes and food for your stay. We loved this place and will be back to stay!

This is an amazing little cabin! We planned a winter trip to Colorado and stayed here four 4 nights and 5 days. It was my husband andI I and another couple and there was a perfect amount of room for everyone/thing. The pictures on this page are almost exactly what the cabin looks like on the inside and outside. We were able to take beautiful pictures in all the snow and right by the side of the river. Micheal was so nice and super helpful with everything. I would definitly recomend this listing for anyone who wants to get away for a nice and peaceful vacation. We went to snowboard and planned on going to Winter park but instead only went 20 min up the road to Sol Vista. It was a great mountain to learn how to snowboard on. The people in all the small towns around were so nice and helpful. We 4 plan on taking a spring trip to go hiking and will definitly stay here. :)

Another Perfect Thanksgiving

This was our second Thanksgiving at our favorite cabin in the mountains. And again we had an amazing time. There was a ton of snow in the mountains so it was nice and cozy inside with the wood stove going and thanksgiving dinner cooking! We couldn't have asked for anything more. The cabin had everything we needed and the addition of satilite TV was great because we could watch a bit of football after stuffing ourselves with turkey! This is a wonderful cabin and I hope we will be back next Thanksgiving.

This is our second time back and I have to say it won't be our last. The first was three nights, this time was nine nights. This is a beautiful cabin that is very well represented by the pictures and the description. It's close enough to everything but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The way the second bedroom is secluded to the back of the cabin provides privacy for families and couples on a getaway. We have stayed and talked to folks with other rentals in the area and I would have to put this at the top of the list. Michael is great to work with and is available for any questions you might have about your visit. We can't wait to get back!

We stayed in this cabin in September of 2010 and were very impressed. The pictures are great, the real thing is even better. The cabins location is very convenient to everything in the area. You are very close to the highway (no 20 miles of mostly one way road to get somewhere, hop in your car and you at the highway in 2 minutes) but you don't hear the highway noise because of the Colorado River which was really more like a large stream in September. Cabin was very clean and there was even some fishing gear available to let us try our luck. Sorry, not much luck to report there, but our 3 year old granddaughter had a blast catching some fingerling trout at another location just down the road. You can see other cabins and the highway (a little bit) but you are very secluded for such a close in location. No one, other than a workman who stopped by one day, even came down the road past the cabin in the 3 days we were there. I saw bear scat and my son and his wife got to watch a moose on the way out their last day. The only reason we didn't mark this cabin 5 star is because of the pots and pans (which should be replaced now according to Michael!) and the ceiling fans really needed a dusting. One consideration to keep in mind, sound really carries inside the main cabin. Some of us wanted to stay up and talk and watch tv while some went to bed. They couldn't sleep because they could hear every word and laugh. Finally, Michael is very professional and friendly to deal with. He said we would be able to take possesion of the cabin earlier then normal and we indeed were able to do just that since it wasn't rented the day before. Michael, thanks for sharing your cabin with us, I'll be very surprised if we don't come back again.

What an Awesome Place

This property is all that it is advertised and more. The place was immaculate and well stocked. All you had to bring was your food, clothes and fishing gear!! You could sit for hours or days just sitting on the porch watching and listening to the river flowing. My husband and I had a blast fishing for the little Brook Trout. No one in our group caught any other fish other than in the river. The handyman, Bret was accessible if anything went wrong. We hope to rent this place again in the future. We have stayed in many places in Grand Lake, but this was the tops!!!!! Thank you Michael for sharing your wonderful cabin on the Colorado River.
