Location: Grand Lake, Northwest, Colorado, USA (100 Miles from Denver 3 Miles from Grand Lake/RMNP West)
Accommodations: House/Cabin, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 12-14)
"The River House" is a perfect mountain getaway with large family gathering areas both inside and out. Sit with clear views of the COLORADO river while listening only to its sound as it gently rolls by the front deck. Watch moose as they graze the plum thickets on the river's edge down the Colorado River Valley above Grand Lake. Walk a few steps from the cabin and try your fishing skills on a ½ mile stretch of semi-private river. The house is a Classic Colorado Cabin with all the modern conveniences, new furniture and appliances. Our cabin is nestled on over an acre of land to ensure private quiet enjoyment of the majestic mountain and river views where all that can be heard is the rumbling of the river. Located in a private gated community with semi-private fishing access out the front door, semi private access to Shadow Mountain Lake Fishing/Boating thru a easement about a mile from the cabin. Snowmobile access 1/2 mile away.
Wrap around deck on three sides with wonderful views of the river. NEW Vermont Castings BBQ Grill. Hike the private river access across from our 1.24 acre lot or sit and watch the moose and big game that follow the river. Or travel over to our easement on Shadow Mountain Lake and enjoy a picnic on the lake.
We provide only the best linens, pillows and comforters on all beds. You will feel at home!
We are located only five minutes to the town of Grand Lake or Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk, Moose, Deer, and Fox frequent our lush property
Upstairs, the large master bedroom sleeps two on a queen bed. The adjacent bedroom sleeps 2 more on a queen bed. The two bedrooms on the first floor, adjacent to the game room, each sleep up to 4 on a queen/full bunk bed. An air mattress can sleep an additional 2 in the living room. We have a game room with a pool table on the first floor with a large bath with a tub on the first floor. The mater has a ¾ bath and there is an additional full bath on the second floor. Our kitchen is fully stocked with all you will need to cook with including a modern old fashion looking stove. This is a beautiful log/log sided cabin in the tall pines.
Grand Lake, a historical old west town, is only about 4 miles from the cabin and is located adjacent to the largest natural lake in Colorado. Bumper boats, go-cart racing, mini golf, guided horseback riding, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ice fishing, shopping and dining are just a few of the things to do in Grand Lake. The Grand Lake Golf Course is challenging and is one of the most beautiful in Colorado.
In the summer, make the 35 minute trip to Winter Park and ride the highest alpine slide in Colorado. Or go the other direction into Rocky Mountain National Park and make the 48 mile drive over the highest paved road in North America (Trail Ridge Road) into Estes Park.
In the winter, enjoy snowmobiling in the self-proclaimed Snowmobile Capital of Colorado. Cross country ski, or downhill ski at the family friendly Sol Vista ski area 20 minutes from the cabin. Go a little further for the best downhill skiing in Colorado at Winter Park a short 35 minutes drive. Winter Park Skiing is why we bought the cabin!
One or two well behaved housebroken dogs up to 70lbs are allowed.
No Cats Please!
Please let us know if you will be bringing your dog along at the time that the rental is booked.
WELCOME TO THE RIVER!
Enjoying the wrap around deck
VRBO Bear stayed here - 02/24/2009 My first impression of “The River House” at Grand Lake was WOW! The absolutely beautiful home right on the Colorado River was even more spacious than anticipated. The roomy four bedrooms were well furnished and from top-to-bottom, the home was updated with beautiful fixtures, lovely cabinetry, leather couches and hardwood and tile flooring. We also had plenty of room to park 3 trucks and a small snowmobile trailer (not something you usually find at a mountain home). For dining in, the kitchen was more than accommodating. It was professionally decorated with a gorgeous antique-like stove/oven. The new appliances, including the stainless steel refrigerator, made it as “easy as home” to cook up a good supper for the crew.
The breathtaking mountain view with a short walk to the river made this home that much more appealing. The quiet serene community was like the cherry-on-top of the sundae. The wrap-around porch made it easy to enjoy the fantastic mountain and river views from any direction – not to mention the awesome pictures we took from the porch. After a day of sledding (which the kids did right behind the house on a great hill) and snowmobiling (only 10 minutes away) in the scenic Grand Lake area, we enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace in the cozy living room. The huge glass table in the dining area worked well for card and board games while the game room- equipped with pool table, ping pong table, and darts- kept the kids away from video games (for most of the time).
The drive to town was only a few minutes (perfect for those that want to be out-of-town but not too far from civilization) which made it convenient for an afternoon of bowling at the quaint eight lane bowling alley. Plenty of shopping and dining options were available and the barbeque at Sagebrush was delicious. This “bear” highly recommends you stay at “The River House” at Grand Lake.

Thanks for the comment. Yes the oven for the stove is a little smaller than a normal oven, and you are correct we do not have a sleeper sofa but there are two queen size air mattresses in the hall closet upstairs. I will try and find the spot that says we have a sleeper sofa and delete it. Thanks The Roemers
