Beautiful home

This home is so beautiful and luxuriously appointed that we and our friends enjoyed our stay in style. The four bedrooms are comfortable and large and the living areas could allow a couple separate gatherings even though everyone will want to gather in the main room. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for our group of 8. We snowshoed in Rocky Mtn National Park and completely enjoyed our time!

I cannot say enough good things about this home! The pictures do not do the home justice, it is beautiful! Well laid out with plenty of room for everyone! Everything has been thought of! They even include a 'directory' of where to find items in the kitchen, which was a nice touch. Home is well maintained and immaculately clean. Owners are very responsive and friendly. We could not have asked for a better VRBO experience. We will definitely stay here when we come back to Grand Lake!

We recently stayed in this wonderful home with our family and friends for Thanksgiving. We all arrived at different times but all walked into the home saying the same things, " this home is beautiful!". The owners were wonderful to work with. They answered any and all questions I had thoroughly and in a timely manner. We had 8 adults and 8 children in our group and we all had plenty of space to gather together and to retire to our own rooms for more peace and quiet. All the beds and linens were very nice and comfortable. The home itself is furnished, finished and equipped with wonderful taste and everything we needed. We are grateful to have found such a beautiful home for our family Holiday getaway and we will be back!

John and Becky have a beautiful home to share. Our family of twelve stayed four nights last week and had a great time. Two stories and a loft provide four bedrooms and a deck that is unbelievable, with a gas grill and fireplace. Many unexpected extras were provided. Thank you for a wonderful vacation experience.

Wonderful time at your beautiful Grand Lake Home

Guest: Cindy (Arvada, CO)
Date of Stay: 05/25/11 Review Submitted: 06/03/11

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay! The home is gorgeous, furnished beautifully and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could ever need! All beds were very comfortable and we were all able to spread out among the three floors to get some alone time when needed although we spent most of our time around the dining table playing games, eating and even put a couple of puzzles together. We had family in from Florida who had never been to Colorado and they enjoyed it so much. They are already planning a trip back and we will plan to stay here again. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us.

Owner response:Cindy also wrote in our coffee table guest gook that ours was the best rental home they've ever stayed in. That's high praise - thanks, Cindy!

Exceptional Vacation Rental

My husband and I rented this home for us and a few more couples for a week at the end of January 2011. WOW is all I can say about this place! I have stayed in Grand Lake for several years and this home has been our favorite so far. Clean, spacious, well appointed, and the floorplan is perfect for giving others in your group a little space! Location is great for driving to Sol Vista or Winter Park for skiing or to Grand Lake for awesome snowmobiling (my favorite). The owners are very mindful of the little things that travelers tend to forget to bring..... Thank you John and Becky for allowing us to use your home and letting us make memories for a lifetime!! Oh, I forgot to mention how comfortable the beds are--slept as if I were in my own! Thanks again and we plan on coming back!!!

We sent a business group down to this Grand Lake lodge for a weekend retreat. The guys absolutely loved it! Everything in the house was nice and clean, up to date, and efficient. They provided plenty of supplies in the house as well as places to eat and visit. The cost to stay was really good for what we received and the owners were easy to get a hold of and very helpful. We will be looking to stay here again in the future!

Wedding Weekend

Date of Stay: 07/08/10 Review Submitted: 08/23/10

This home was fabulous!!! We rented this home for 3 nights for a friends wedding weekend. We managed to fit 12 people in this house without anyone sleeping in the floor!!! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had every amenity you could think of and the house was Immaculate. Our friends wedding was located on Grand Lake which ended up being a quick 5-10 min drive to main street grand lake. The location was quiet, and easily accessible. We wish we could have stayed longer!!! Thanks for letting us use your amazing house for an unforgetable weekend!!!!!

John & Becky, We enjoyed our visit to your house over the 4th of July. Our family get together of eight was just perfect. We loved having our coffee on the deck each morning and watching the animals. Your house is beautiful and everything we needed was available. Thanks so much for offering such a beautiful and peaceful spot to spend a vacation. You were so helpful with all of our questions and the house was immaculate. We hope to make it back to Grand Lake and will definitely want to stay at your house again. We will also recommend your house to any of our friends who travel to Grand Lake. Thanks again.

Please record the following in your book at that fabulous house. We could not have picked a better house than this anywhere, Everything we needed was here. We have been to Grand County many many times and this house by far is the best. Comfort - priceless...beauty - priceless....viewing animals--beyond priceless (saw deer, ospry, moose almost on front porch, fox everyday, chipmunks, squirrels, maramont (?) ) convienience - priceless....needless to say we could find absolutly nothing wrong with anything... we so enjoyed the games, especially the checkers...grandson and grandfather had a blast playing each other everyday several times...the deck was our favorite place to stay...so quiet and cool and peaceful... This was our best family vacation to date. All our wants and needs were taken care of and that makes for lots of fun. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home. Richard and Linda Franklinton, LA

Family Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and luxurious home. There was not a single amenity that was overlooked. The owners have thought of everything! We had two families and it was so nice to have two distinct living spaces for privacy. The great room area was a wonderful place to gather and play games or watch movies. Close to beautiful attractions like Grand Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Shadow Mountain Reservoir. We will definitely recommend this to friends and family and hope to be back in the near future!

What a wonderful house for my friends and I to enjoy some time away from the city. It is a very modern home with plenty of room and amenities whether you decide to head into the town of Grand Lake (5-10 minute drive), or lounge around the home. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your home!
