My husband and I travel, frequently, and have visited several cities/villages/resorts in Colorado. This trip-the 7-acre wood cabin- and the whole Grand Lake, CO experience was top notch. The cabin is exactly how Jeff and Maureen advertise it, even better. While it was just my husband and I staying, this cabin is VERY family friendly and sleeps several more, comfortably. It is definitely secluded and one of the most romantic places we have ever stayed. Thanks, again, Maureen and Jeff! P.S. My husband's ONLY complaint was that he could not watch sportscenter every morning-there is no ESPN on Satellite! LOLOLOL!!!

The Seven Acre Wood--A little slice of Heaven

Thank you for sharing your little piece of Heaven with our family. The cabin was beautiful and just as you stated in your ad. Our 3 boys had a great time, they enjoyed the bon fire, the hot tub and the air hockey table. And we cannot forget looking for the faces on the trees too. The views from the deck were spectacular, from the early morning sunrise to breath taking sunsets and the stars after dark, we could even see the milky way! We saw deer, moose, fox, and lots of little ground squirrels on the property. The trees were at peak color and we had perfect weather everyday. If we get the chance to return to beautiful Colorado, we know right where we will stay! Thank you!

My family and I just returned from Seven Acre Wood and could not have asked for a better vacation. The house is conveniently located to downtown Grand Lake, yet secluded. Also, the house is very well maintained, completely equipped and immaculate. Jeff and Maureen were wonderul to work with on arrangements, etc. Highly recommend this cabin.

The Seven Acre Wood

Guest: Linda and Curt (AZ)
Date of Stay: 06/04/11 Review Submitted: 06/15/11

We recently returned from a week's visit in Colorado. We stayed in The 7 Acre Wood cabin owned by Maureen & Jeff Betz. They were very friendly and easy to work with. Also they did not misrepresent the cabin in any way. It's just as nice and comfortable as it looks in the photos. During our visit we saw moose, deer and elk on the property which was exciting and different from our life in AZ. We caught rainbow trout in Grand Lake from the shore and hiked up to see Adam's waterfall. The scenery from the front of the cabin is beautiful with a great view of Shadow Lake and Shadow Mountain. We drove to Estes Park and Trail Ridge Road was magnificent . It had been closed due to snow but luckily was opened during out visit. The weather was delightful and we would love to return some day.

Awesome house for family with kids!

We rented this house in August of 2010. Our group consisted of my mother, my husband and me- and our 3 kids who were aged 7, 5 and 18 months at the time. We loved this house! The house has an absolutely amazing view of the lake- which is not fully caputured in these pictures. It is a mile or two up the road from the town of Grand Lake with its fun shopping and restaurants. There are seamingly countless great hikes in the area. My husband and our oldest son played golf at the amazingly beautiful golf course that is up the road a couple of miles. They also took a ranger lead fly fishing course in the park which was a lot of fun. August weather was perfect. The house has a large bedroom upstairs that has its own bathroom which is perfect for the kids. The main level has 2 nice bedrooms and another bath. The lower level has a ping pong and foozeball (sp?) table which my boys loved and played many times daily. There is also a wonderful hottub which we hopped into each evening! The washer/dryer came in quite handy and the house really had everything we could need. We would highly recommend this house to others and can't wait to come back! The owners were also very honest and easy to work with.

Nothing can be said about this cabin & its surrounding environment except that it is next to perfect! Wildlife was abundant around the cabin; elk, deer, chipmunks, birds, a raptor & the resident fox. Our top prize was a moose & her calf in the park! We are very thankful for a truly extrodinary experience at your cabin!

You have an absolutely gorgeous cabin - very clean, comfortable, and cozy. The scenery was outstanding. We had elk come visit us along with a lone moose that was waiting for us half way up the side of the drive way. The hiking in the park was superb. We absolutely recommend that anyone visiting the area stay at your cabin. We made unforgettable memories on our trip to Grand Lake and the surrounding areas.

We came with very high expectations & have not been disappointed! Gorgeous cabin in a stunning location - I dont think we have ever been anywhere so relaxing. We went hiking, mountain biking, rented a boat on Grand Lake & went go-karting. Our teenagers liked the ping pong & x-box. We would come back again anytime!

Thank you for sharing your cozy cabin with our family & all the added touches that help us feel right at home. The clean, well equipped kitchen & the toy closet were great fun but the spectacular view from the cabin & the privacy of the setting made it a grand vacation. We went tubing on Fraser hill, enjoyed a sleight ride, went snowmobiling & saw elk & moose! We will be back!

We can not say enough about this cabin! We chose to rent this cabin to get away from the rush of daily life & that is exactly what it was. The girls loved the swing set & toy room. No picture can do justice to the view from the house & the beauty of the mountains & lake view from your deck.

Thanks for another amazing week at the 7 acre wood. We hiked all over, saw a lot of moose - one in the front yard. The hot tub is a wonderful addition - we needed it after our 12 mile hike, 6 mile hike & horseback riding. Our families memories are made here - it is a great escape. We will be back again.

Our first impression of your cabin was amazement! If anything, the description we'd found were humble underestimates. Not only are the cabin & grounds spacious & beautiful, they're chock full of toys & surprises for the biggest to the smallest kids. We didnt have to venture further than the deck to experience much of what the area has to offer - from the soaring peaks in the distance with the sparkling lake at their feet to the abundant wildlife. Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunity to experience this landscape in comfort & peace.

One morning we were woken up by the loud bugling of a large bull elk. He was 20 feet from our window. The most beautiful scene on the trip was watching the moon rise over the mountains & lake on your front deck.
