  We had 3 families come together to meet our newest grandson born just before Christmas! So, with a newborn and 7 month old we LOVED the private space, individual bedrooms and bathrooms. The family room and kitchen provided great space to gather together and the views were even more beautiful than the pictures. We enjoyed snowmobiling in the mountains, snow shoeing in Rocky Mountain National Park, golf course, and nearby Adams Falls and even got to watch the Viking/Packer game in town! This was a perfect setting for our families to gather and the home provided absolutely everything we could need. The fireworks on New Years Eve were spectacular as well! The Owners were so easy to work with, as this was our first time renting. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with our families and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great getaway!

  My husband and I spent three weeks here--each having our own bed and bath--and when the kids all arrived, they took over the downstairs. It was perfect. Wine on the deck overlooking the lake, youngsters with lots to play with, and close to town to take advantage of the local haunts and the marvelous beach and paddleboarding on Grand Lake. We highly recommend and the owners were marvelous with their quick response to questions both before and during our stay.

  Little did we know our stay would be peak time of the aspen trees and the elk rut season. The house and Grand Lake exceeded all of our families expectations. We kept a daily journal to highlight the expected or unexpected activities of the day. In your guest book we wrote about our stay. Please feel to share. What a trip to remember as well as Bob celebrating his 70th birthday with his family. Did you notice the little clockmaker fixed the clock?

• The perfect home base for a family vacation

  We gathered our family of 6 and flew from Florida to Colorado for a family vacation. We wanted to avoid the typical tourist crowds and, since Dad grew up in Colorado, we knew that Grand Lake would be a perfect spot to use as a home base. The town is small enough to be friendly and easy to get around in, big enough to have all the necessary amenities and close to everything that makes you love the mountains. We rented horses at the bottom of the hill and went horseback riding into Rocky Mountain National Park, 20 minutes away we rented a pontoon boat for a day of exploring and fishing on Lake Granby, made a right turn at the bottom of the hill and drove to the top of Trail Ridge Road (that's a little scary but stunning views with several stops to take pics of elk, dear and other wildlife), 30 minutes down valley got us to Granby for a day of river rafting on the Colorado River and an hour up the Colorado River valley got us to the Winter Park ski resort where we had tickets to the grand opening of the summer resort with alpine slide, bike lift and downhill trails and tons of amusements for everyone. The house is relatively new, has all the modern conveniences and the view from the deck is panoramic. The humming birds literally come within few feet of you as they make trips back and forth to the humming bird feeder and it's the perfect place to have watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee and the sunset with an ice cold drink. By the way, the road up the hill is very steep and, unless you are in really great shape, walking to/from town is not on the recommended list. - especially after an evening hanging out with the locals at Grumpy's Saloon. Everyone had a great time and we'd come back to this house in a New York minute.

  This was a great property! It was exceptionally clean, well appointed, very spacious and was very easy to find based upon the directions provided. We used the house for a "girl's get away" and were thrilled. The owners are easy to work with and honest and the house was fantastic. I'd definitely stay here again, without hesitation!

  This is the third time we have stayed at this place and my group loves it! In fact we have come to call this OUR Grand Lake home!!!! The location is great (although the steep muddy hill can be a trick to navigate), the accommodations are great, and the price is great! My only MINOR constructive criticism would be that if you offer the tremendous amenities that you do (like a humidifier) you offer enough for everyone to have one...... we all had to fight over that humidifier!

  We (3) adults stayed here for Presidents weekend. This home is beautiful! It has everything you need to have a relaxing fun filled stay in Grand Lake. Love the garage, the morning temperatures were in the single digits each morning of our stay and it was nice to have the truck warm from being inside. Incredible kitchen with everything you need.. The bedrooms were just comfy and cozy, beds were a dream to sleep on. Firepleace just adds so much to the home. Went and celebrated in town with the Flight for Life Poker Run contestants, wonderful bunch of locals and visitors. We have stayed at some Homeaway, VRBO rentals before, and this has been the nicest one for us. We will be booking again for a summer visit, and bringing the grand kids, and great grandparents. Thank you Mike and Carole for everything, your home is amazing.

  Had a great weekend at this house in Grand Lake. The house was perfect for our party of 10 - plenty of room to spread out and enough bedrooms for everyone. We had three generations and had great times sharing meals, watching the playoffs, and playing games around the large table. Snowmobiling at On the Trail Rentals was great and near by. Even though it was January, we were actually able to sit out on the south-facing balcony one day in the sun. Carole and Mike were great to work with and quick to respond to our questions with answers and suggestions. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we could have wanted and beds were very comfortable. Overall, a beautful house and a weekend to remember. Exactly what we were looking for. We'd love to return another time.
