Come enjoy the extraordinary beauty and warm friendliness of Grand Lake, Colorado with its abundance of Summer and Winter activities! Built in 2006, this lovely 2000+ sqft home is situated in Grand Lake, just above the very charming Grand Lake Village with its old west buildings, boarded sidewalks and friendly residents. It is adjacent to the historic Grand Lake Lodge property, which provides for a peaceful mountain setting.

From the gorgeous great room with hand-built, river rock fireplace, or spacious deck, savor the beauty of majestic Mount Baldy and sparkling views of Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake! Take in the starry sky on a warm summer night from the deck while sipping your favorite beverage. Watch the best fireworks in the Rocky Mountains from the deck on the 4th of July or New Year’s Eve. In the winter when road snowpack allows, hop on your snowmobile right outside the door and ride into town or hook up with a trail. There are so many things to do and memories to make in Colorado’s best-kept secret!

Grand Lake Village and Grand Lake are within easy walking distance at less than one half mile away. Shadow Mountain Lake is less than one mile away. You’ll have easy access to over 100 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, enjoying the lakes, or shopping, and eating in town. Lake Granby is just a few miles down the road.

The West entrance to a national treasure – Rocky Mountain National Park, where you may encounter moose, big horn sheep, or elk herds, is a little over two miles away. Incredible Colorado skiing is nearby with Sol Vista Ski Resort only twenty minutes away; Colorado’s playground - Winter Park Ski Resort only forty minutes away; and Steamboat Ski Resort, with its legendary champagne powder is a little over an hour away!

  • Winter Wonderland! Seven of us stayed here in March 2008; 3 adults and 4 children. It is such a wonderful home in a beautiful surrounding, that I still reminisce about it. I loved that all of us could sit at the same table with ease and enjoy great conversation, games, etc. We accidentally left something behind and Mike and Carole mailed it back to us - - very much appreciated as it was a prize position of one of the children’s. Thank you Mike and Carole for letting us stay in your lovely home! We hope to come back some day. PS - All raved about the comfort of the beds!

  • This was our first visit to the "Lakes"; have been several times skiing to Winterpark but never ventured further north until now. We had a family party of 10 and stayed at The Bennett home in Grand Lake. The house was well designed with open family room connected to the kitchen and private bedrooms. The views of Grand Lake and Shadow Mountain Lake from the huge front windows were magnificent. We enjoyed the resident hummingbirds and kept their feeders full. The home was very clean which is very important to us. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location, slightly away from the town. We highly recommend this home; The Bennett's were great to work with. A big plus, internet available!

  • Mike and Carole, Thank you so much for allowing us to use your cabin! It was beautiful inside, and out. The vaulted ceilings with knotty pine. Granite countertops, cozy fireplace, comfortable sofa, and side chairs. All of the bathrooms were very spacious with gorgeous tile work! The kitchen had very nice appliances, and all of the utensils we needed to prepare our meals. The view from the living room/front deck looking out over the lake was spectacular! The cabin was only one minute from the downtown boardwalk, and lake. That was very nice. We made a few trips to the well stocked convenience store. Your location was only a 20 minute drive from Granby where we picked up our daughter who arrived via Amtrak train. We had a ton of questions about the cabin before we rented. You were so kind to quickly respond with answers each time. You both did everything you said you would do in a professional timely manner, but at the same time we felt included as part of your family. Carole discovered we had left one of our cameras. She contacted us, packaged, and shipped the camera back to us. WOW! Thank you Carole! I took cross country skis, and took off from your property. I discovered the trail head into the Rocky Mountain National Forest. No one had been on the trail except animals, so I got to break trail in the 3 to 4 foot of snow. This was the best time for me in the winter wonderland. Some of the other family went with me on snow shoes the following days right from the cabin doorstep. We all took turns sledding down the road in front of your cabin each day. That was great. My nice from California who had never been in the snow must have gone down a hundred times, and I am not exaggerating. Friday was our day on snowmobiles. We rented 2 doubles for the day at "On the Trail". Jim the owner was great to let us switch off every 2 hours with the sleds, and equipment. It had snowed the night before, so the first group out had fresh powder all the way. Again thank you for allowing us to enjoy your “Office by the Lake” for a few days. It was truly one of the best family times I have ever had with my Children, Grandchildren, Mom, and Sisters.

  • What an ideal location for a "Girls Weekend" at Grand Lake! We loved your spacious, clean, beautiful home. The views of the surrounding mountains and lakes are absolutely spectacular! We aren't sure what we liked the most...enjoying sunset on the deck or gathered around the table playing games in the evening. The elk that wandered by at sunset, a fox and several deer seen from the deck were highlights of the trip. Grand Lake is a charming town! Thanks for a wonderful weekend! We would definitely recommend this gorgeous home for your vacation!

  • Our summer family vacation was absolutely perfect and your mountain home provided us with the space/upgrades that we were hoping for. Everyone felt "at home" and so very comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us and hopefully we can do it once again next summer. Keith and Penny

  • Grand Lake is a wonderful, quaint community with something for everyone. The home is absolutely perfect with unbelievable views of Grand Lake and Shadown Mountain Lake alon with the marvelous mountains. All water sports, hiking, horseback riding and wonderful ice cream were a very short drive or a pleasant walk away. Truly a five star experience. We'll be back!

  • There were 6 in our group that stayed for the weekend. We loved the house! There is enough space to spend time together, yet enough to separate as well. The decorating is beautiful. The convenient location to town made getting around quite simple. Very close to restaurants, shops, and of course, snowmobiling! We look forward to staying here again!

  • We just finished a 5 night stay in early Sept. '07. Grand Lake is a national treasure and this house is a great way to experience it. The view is teriffic. The porch is huge. A perfect mountain lodge with all of the amenities. Decor very well chosen. The stars at night are worth the trip. A short trip into the Park at dusk allowed us to see a pair of moose. Rented a kayak in town for a beautiful, quiet lake experience. Unique mix of rugged westerners and the rest of us. Great retreat for a "slow down" or a hub for the myriad of available activities.
