This cabin is excellent!! We took a group of 6 Girl Scouts for a get away. The girls had so much fun, plenty of room for the 8 of us. The cabin is super clean and has everything you could possibly need. Easy access to town. Very comfy and cozy, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

I visited this Beautiful home/cabin during the later part of July 2011 and was NOT dissapointed. The owners were very accesible proir to the stay and gave me all the information we needed to have a carefree and stressfree time. We had 4 adults and 3 children all under 7 and there was plenty of room. The location is such that there are so many options for getting around. If you have a car great, bikes are even better for the exersize and clean mountain living and if you have neither...no worries...its literally a 10 minute walk to the middle of all the action in downtown Grand Lake. The description of the cabin and pictures and and location are very accurate. The property was very clean and well maintained and I would 100% recommend this listing for ANYONE and EVERYONE. Try the Chuckwagon Pancake Breakfast at the Winding River Resort...they also have a petting farm, horseback riding and many more activities...you wont be dissapointed. Thanks again

Grand Lake and Kigin's cabin is a wonderful location for a few days in the Rocky Mountains

Guest: Minnesota visitors (Stewartville, MN )
Date of Stay: 07/08/11 Review Submitted: 07/19/11

The cabin was just what we were looking for. It had a great view of the mountains and lakes. It was clean and comfortable. The cabin had everything we needed for five relaxing days in the Rocky Mountains. We used the cabin for a home base as we went on hikes and day trips to RMNP and some of the area towns. Our college age daughters enjoyed an afternoon at the spa and pools in near by Hot Sulphur Springs. We went lake trout fishing on Grand Lake and had a great time catching twelve lake trout in about two hours with our guide Jim Gasner from Rocky Mountain Outfitters located on the board walk in Grand Lake. After one of our longer hikes of the week we stopped at CY's Deli for a late lunch. The service was fast and the sandwiches were awesome. We are all looking forward to another trip to Grand Lake.

Our 2010 New Year's Stay

Guest: Lawson (Greeley, CO )
Date of Stay: 12/30/10 Review Submitted: 01/06/11

This was our first New Year's vacation in the Grand Lake area. I was extremely pleased with the location of this cabin. The cabin was very clean and has excellent views. The pictures accurately reflect the apperance and amenities. Our family of 5 fit perfect in this cabin. We were within walking distance to snowmobiling, sledding and the center of town. Within short driving distance to tubing, skiing and the hot springs. I would highly recommend this cabin and working with owners.

We stayed there from 10/29/10 to 10/31/10. We were looking for a quiet weekend getaway and found this to be the PERFECT time of year for that. It was so quiet the entire time we were there. The cabin is in immaculate condition. The kitchen was a great to cook our meals in. The master bed was very comfortable and inviting. There is no closet space available, so for a longer stay that might be a bit of a pain. I would never let that stop you from renting this cabin. While not right on the lake, the view from the deck is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back!

Owner response:Thanks for the nice comments. We do have a large closet in the 2nd/Kids BR, the closet in the Master is what we use as our Owners closet & keep locked, am guessing you didn't see other closet since there were only 2 of you & you only used the Master BR.

Our first visit to the US

Guest: Jean, Tom, Gregory and Victoria (Salisbury, England)
Date of Stay: 09/19/10 Review Submitted: 10/01/10

A family group of 4 and we could not have chosen better. The location of the cabin is perfect with wonderful views from the deck. The cabin was clean, warm and comfortable and well equipped with all you could need. The Kigins were most helpful as we were traveling from England and did not know what to expect. It was so easy to get into the National Park and we enjoyed the drive over Trail Ridge Road to Estes on the East. So much to see - elk, mule deer, moose, cheeky chipmunks, squirre - could go on forever. Grand Lake itself has everything you could want and some good places to eat. We sampled Mexican, Italian and American - huge plates of food and excellent value. For the more adventurous there are lots of trails to explore, our son and his wife climbed two mountains and loved it, although you do need to take care of your reaction to altitude. We were made most welcome at the Grand Lake Golf Club and managed to play 9 holes before giving up because of rain. Mostly the weather was very good at this time of year and the fall colours were wonderful. Would most definitely recommend the Kigins Cabin to all.

Our family had a great stay at the cabin! The views are without any power lines so the beautiful scenery is not ruined. The house had a step stool and a toddler seat already there so it made it easier for our little one. I went running in the neighborhood the first morning and found that the entrance to the park really is very close! The park is breathtaking, especially the views from the alpine center about 30 minutes away. We saw some marmots, elks, and mule deer around the park... and lots of chipmunks around the house which delighted our toddler. FYI: We recommend the lake tour (the 10:30am one in case it rains later on in the day). It's an hour long and a fun way to spend some time on the water (very cold even in the summer). We drove to town since we have a little one but you can walk there from the house, it's not far... In short, you can't go wrong with the house! We'll hopefully be back :)

This cabin had all the amenities of home. It is extremely cozy and you feel right at home! The cabin has an amazing view of the lake and you can walk into town. Grand Lake is a scenic little town with cute shops and great restaurants. We spent most of our time at Rocky Mountain National Park, and the cabin was just minutes from the Park! We got into our car and drove to Steamboat Springs. It was a beautiful ride. This cabin really is a great "headquarters" for your time in the Rockys. Thank you Joe and Casey for sharing your awesome home with us!

We stayed in the Kigins cabin the first week of October 2009. The cabin is very close to RMNP where we spent most of our time. The weather was very unpredictable and it was nice to have a cozy cabin to come home to. The Kigins were great to work with and always responded quickly and courteously to our inquiries. We had a great time in Grand Lake.

We had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful home 9/23-9/27/09. The fall views of the aspens, mountains and lake from the deck and windows were spectacular! The home is very comfortable and stocked with everything you need. We saw a moose and many elk in Rocky Mountain National Park which is just a few minutes away and there are numerous trails to hike. Best of all, the owners are such a pleasure to work with and you can tell how much pride they have in this home. We hope we are able to come back next year.

We had a wonderful stay in your cabin in Grand Lake this summer. The cabin was comfortable and accommodating. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the deck with the view of the lake. Grand Lake is a great vacation town. They hosted a chili cook- off while we were there. There was so much to do we couldn't do it all in the time we were there. We did a lot of hiking in the adjacent Rocky Mountain National Park, saw lots of moose and elk, and took our son to Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park. If we had more time, we would have enjoyed kayaking on the lake. Thank you Joe and Casey

We just returned from a terrific week at the Kilgin's cabin in Grand Lake. It's a perfect vacation location for families with young kids. The rental is lovely, more than you would expect from descriptions like "cozy" and "cabin." It has all the essentials you'd expect (working kitchen appliances, washer/dryer etc.) plus the few extras that make it feel more like a home (board games, a nice BBQ-grill, staples in the kitchen, etc.) The Kilgins were very helpful in suggesting activities appropriate for our young kids, as well. We fished, hiked the short distance to Adams falls, went horseback riding, and rented a motorboat to go speeding around the lake twice! We loved it and will be back for sure.

We had a great time at your Grand Lake home. The house was very confortable and a nice place to return to after spending the day at the park. We especially liked being able to grill out on the deck while looking out over the lake and mountains. One night we had the pleasure of watching 8 deer from the deck! Thanks for sharing your home.

Our two adult children reside in CO. and we stayed together at the Kigin Kabin over Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful place to spend time together. The views from the cabin were outstanding and we enjoyed the close location to Grand Lake. When not at the cabin we enjoyed hiking in RMNP and browsing thru the shops in Grand Lake. It was a most enjoyable experience and we would return in a heartbeat. We highly recommend the Kigin Kabin. Mary and John Ferraro, Port Washington, WI.

This was a wonderful vacation home for our family of four! We had plenty of room, lots of storage, a user-friendly, fully stocked kitchen, essentially everything we needed! The cabin was very clean and really felt like home by the end of our week there. I especially loved sitting on the deck in the afternoon and reading, BBQing, and just relaxing. Our activities included boating, fishing, hiking at RMNP, splashing around at the beach, mini golf, bowling, shopping, and trying out the ice cream shops. Really a great family vacation spot. We highly recommend this cabin and Grand Lake!

Nice, clean, spacious, convienent to town, great views! These are only a few of the words that describe this wonderful home. We took our girls on a family vacation and stayed in this home. The girls loved have a room to themselves with a bunkbed, tv, vcr and dish network! We loved being able to send them to another room while we watched our show at night and being able to put them to bed early so we could have a night to ourselves. Very well stocked home with all the convienences of our own home. I would highly recommend this home to others looking for a vacation get away. Lots to do in and around the area.

What a wonderful cabin and area! We had a great time hiking, exploring and geo-cacheing. This location is the perfect mix between being remote and close enough to food and activities. We visited Estes Park and we were so relieved that we decided to stay in Grand Lake. The kids loved the cabin as well (the bunk beds and fire ring were at the top of their list(Cartoon Network was a bonus for our one rainy day)). It was a joy dealing directly with the owners and that personal touch. The next time we pass this way again we will not hessitate to stay here again. A+++ rating

My sister and I spent a week in this house in Grand Lake. It was a perfect location for us to visit Rocky Mountain National Park each day - so much incredible scenery and on the quiet, less crowded side of the park. It was a wonderful respite - away from our scheduled city lives and with unlimited access to the beauties of nature. The house was comfortable, clean, tidy, and well equipped. I hope to return soon.

We sat on the deck every afternoon and just looked at the beautiful view. We were lucky enough to see elk walking on the side of the cabin. The inside of the cabin made me want to redecorate my home.

This Kozy Kabin was a romantic getaway for our anniversary present to one another. Prefect location, Grand Lake, CO's quaintest town near RMNP West entrance. We enjoyed all the nice amenities... spacious, open living area, view of tall pines thru large windows, satellite TV with DVD/VCR player, well equipped kitchen/dining, 2 baths and washer/dryer. 2nd bedroom with bunks went unused this trip, but was perfect for two kids when staying here in 2004. We couldn't find any place nicer for our anniversary, and glad we chose to stay here again. What a pleasure...

This was our first attempt at a Gammy/Papa trip with our 3 grandchildren ages 5, 5, and 4. We could not have made a more perfect choice. Only a short 2.5 hour drive from our home with lots of ammenities for a short 3 night stay. When you're in the area be sure to make time for the Reperatory Theatre. Although a little late for the age of our grandkids, from the moment the production started, they were spellbound! The cabin was delightful with every ammenity we would need, plus some. The washer/dryer was a nice surprise. Thank you Joe & Casey. Maybe we'll make it an annual event!
