Map & Owner's Profile
Huge Views of Shadow Mountain Lake and Mountain Ranges
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Grand Lake
This place is special...you can feel it as soon as you arrive. Fantastic views, plenty of wildlife and friendly people. The largest natural lake in Colorado too. Everything is very close. This area is much smaller (and nicer) than the big ski towns.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I fell in love with this area the first time I visited. A comfortable, slower pace and beautiful mountain and lake views.
Trail Ridge Road is the highest road in North America and takes you into Rocky Mountain National Park to the town of Estes, Colorado.
Located 1/4 mile from our cabin. Rent boats and enjoy the lake!
A small family oriented ski resort about 20 minutes from the cabin. Winter Park is 15 minutes past Sol Vista Ski Resort.
Hot Sulfer Springs, natural springs...so relaxing! Several pools. 30 minute drive from the cabin.
Owner's Map of Grand Lake
We love the outdoors and all the wildlife. The Village of Grand Lake is small and very special, not like the larger towns or cities!
