Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Beverly is a retired Elementary School teacher. She taught Vocal Music, Kdgn, 3rd grade and Elementary Science. She is a nature enthusiast and is especially trying to help save the critically endangered Pacific Leatherback Sea Turtles. Craig is a small business owner. Both Craig and Beverly take pleasure knowing visiting families are reconnecting when they get together and enjoy their wonderful real mountain lake log cabin. They have 4 grown children and 2 grand-dogs, one big one and a little one.
Why the Owner Chose Lake Granby
We were looking for a sailboat when we happened upon this wonderful old log cabin that had just been listed for sale. We couldn't resist the view of the Continental Divide, the proximity to Lake Granby, the wonderful natural vegetative lot, the log cabin's room layout and large red brick wood burning fireplace! It reminded us of the Lincoln Log cabins we built as children. Craig and I turned to each other and said, "We need to put an offer on this." We did, and the rest is history!
The Unique Benefits of this Log Cabin
We love that our log cabin is a "real" vintage full log cabin and has all the character that goes with it, yet it has modern conveniences. We love to ski at Winter Park and Mary Jane and then either take the ski bus to Granby where we pick up our car or just get in our car and be back at the cabin in no time with no traffic--all the traffic is going in the other direction toward Denver! We also enjoy the nearness of all the year round special activities the Town of Grand Lake has like the Winter Carnival, Buffalo Weekend,Fall Folk Festival and Fireworks on the 4th of July and again on New Year's Eve, but are so happy to be able to leave the hub-bub and drive 4 miles away to our peaceful dead end street looking out at the wildlife, lake and Rocky Mountains. We enjoy the full moon cross country ski at Grand Lake Touring Center in January and February. We enjoy cross-country skiing there during the day as they even have a trail where a person can cross country ski with their dogs--our grand-dog, Loki, loves to do that! We enjoy lying on the hammock day and night, relaxing or stargazing even if we have to get bundled up! We love to go to Rocky Mountain National Park and take their free guided hikes and things like photography classes. In the winter, we like to explore the trails on our snowshoes too. In the fall hearing the elk bugling is very special. We love it when the aspen trees turn gold in front of our cabin in the fall. Too much to tell. Very, very serene and peaceful. Bev's favorite place on earth is here at this cabin. She has read that the best Feng Shui is on a mountain near a lake, maybe that explains it. Great Rocky Mountain water from the tap and fresh air to breath in! Heaven! as one guest put it.

Thank you soo much for letting us stay up here! It was so awesome! Everyone enjoyed themselves and had loads of fun! It was just a blast! We had a wonderful time and the cabin had plenty of room for all nine (4 adults 5 young children)of us. We didn't see any moose around the cabin but did see some elk and three hawks that were hanging around that were pretty neat. We also caught the peak of the meteor showers which was an awesome show. Thanks again!

We couldn't have asked for better weather-warm sunny days and cool evenings-very nice. Such a comfy place in which to relax. We really enjoyed the scenery and many hikes. The daily trip to Sol Vista gave us opportunities to see all the things one might miss on only one pass. Very nice touches. I especially like your lighthouse hanging quilt--beautiful!

Thank you so much for sharing your mountain home with us! Our kids were able to join us from Colorado Springs and Pueblo, so it was a very special time. The dogs loved all the wonderful outdoor smells. And we thoroughly enjoyed the hummingbirds. I've been trying to attract them to my yard in Lakewood--Now I know they're all at Grand Lake. Thank you again!

Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home. We had so much fun! Our family who came out from Indiana with their little kids were blown away by the scenery, wildlife, and beauty surrounding us. We saw many elk, fox and even a moose. We rented a pontoon boat for the afternoon, caught a ton of rainbow, and went on many hikes/walks. We had a relaxing but non-stop weekend of great fun! You are lucky to have such a wonderful spot for a second home.

Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us. What a lovely cabin in the woods! We had a marvelous old-fashioned Thanksgiving. It was the perfect place to relax and reconnect with each other. We loved the view and the fireplace and all-around cozy feel of the cabin. All the rooms are so cute and welcoming. It snowed a little and was beautiful and the big fireplace was the perfect place to warm up. What a gem you have to call a second home. Thanks again.
