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.

A
Enterence to Rocky Mountain National Park

Trail Ridge Road is the highest road in North America and takes you into Rocky Mountain National Park to the town of Estes, Colorado.

B
Trail Ridge Marina on Shadow Mountain Lake

Located 1/4 mile from our cabin. Rent boats and enjoy the lake!

C
Sol Vista Ski Resort

A small family oriented ski resort about 20 minutes from the cabin. Winter Park is 15 minutes past Sol Vista Ski Resort.

D
Hot Sulfer Springs

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!

    • Thank you so much! We had a fantastic stay. The house worked out great! With 3 families, it was very nice to have the room to spread out. The snowmobiling was top notch! If your looking for a place to stay, no need to look further! Kim is very easy to work with. We will be staying here again next year! Thank you, The Wolfe's

    • We just stayed in your lovely home over the weekend. All the great touches and the well stocked home made it a memorable experience for all of us. We had had three families with us and a dog. We woke up to a foot of snow on Sunday morning and it was a beautiful winter wonderland. Thank you allowing us to stay in your home. We will be back.

    • Thank you, Thank you, thank you for a wonderful mountain retreat for our family vacation. My family came from Iowa and Illinois to meet us for "Spring Break". We had 6 adults and 6 little kids and we could not have had a better time. The place is amazing and my boys especially enjoyed sledding and building snowforts. The Rettig's are wonderful hosts, though you never meet them, you can just feel what great people they are by how welcome they make you feel in their mountain home. We would love to make a trip back in the summer for the wonderful view of the (thawed) lake, as well as the moose we din't get the chance to see! Thanks again!

    • We live in the Denver of the East outside of Charlotte on Lake Norman. So with that Lake/Cabin life in mind I would have to rate this vacation spot as one of the Most Beautiful that we have been. The location is perfect and the views are awesome. The cabin has everthing you need and is very clean and beautifully decorated.The cabin is just outside of town so you have easy access to all of your needs yet your still in the mountains and you can keep your own privacy. Thanks for sharing your treasure with me and my family we will be sure to pass the word and look forward to the opportunity to vacation there again in the future. The Torbert's

    • Kim, We so enjoyed our stay at your house. We thought everything was so nice last year but the new fireplaces and paint job just added so much. We again felt so comfortable and all your personal touches made it feel like home!! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Bill, Mary, & Natasha Mann
