We just completed our new deck with new porch swing and new BBQ and patio heater
Location: Grand Lake, Northwest, Colorado, USA (100 miles from Denver 1 mile from Grand Lake and RMNP West)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 5)
Classic 1955 Grand Lake Cabin constructed of rustic old fashioned hand-hewn logs harvested from the property. Our nostagic cabin was built on the best 5 acres of the historic 1890 Lyons Homestead, and was owned by the original family until 2004. Beautiful lake and mountain views. Located across from Shadow Mountain Lake with lake, snowmobile and fishing access across the road and 50 yards from the front door. Beautiful view of Shadow Mountain Lake out the living room and master bedroom windows.
Composite DECK on three sides with wonderful views of the lake. Vermont Castings BBQ Grill, patio heater and porch swing. Make smores or let the kids swing at our "old school" log bench camp fire area. Hike our 5 acres and watch the fox family that live on the far side of the property.
We provide only the best linens, down pillows and down comforters on all beds.
We are located only two minutes from the town of Grand Lake or Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk, moose, deer, and fox frequent our lush 5 acres. See the pictures below or on our web site of the Moose that visited us while we were building our new deck!
The small master bedroom sleeps two on a full bed. The adjacent loft area sleeps up to three on the single/full bunk bed. The interior is all natural handcrafted log with pine plank demising walls. The bathroom has a BRAND NEW slate tiled custom stand up shower with no tub. This is a beautiful old fashioned cabin in the tall pines and aspens!
Grand Lake, a historical old west town, is only about 1 mile from the cabin and is located adjacent to the largest natural lake in Colorado. Bumper boats, go-cart racing, mini golf, guided horseback riding, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, ice fishing, shopping and dining are just a few of the things to do in Grand Lake. The Grand Lake Golf Course is challenging and is one of the most beautiful in Colorado.
In the summer, make the 35 minute trip to Winter Park and ride the highest alpine slide in Colorado. Or go the other direction into Rocky Mountain National Park and make the 48 mile drive over the highest paved road in North America (Trail Ridge Road) into Estes Park.
In the winter, enjoy snowmobiling in the self-proclaimed Snowmobile Capital of Colorado. Cross country ski, or downhill ski at the family freindly Sol Vista ski area 20 minutes from the cabin. Go a little further for the best downhill skiing in Colorado at Winter Park a short 35 minutes drive. Winter Park Sking is why we bought the cabin!
One or two well behaved housebroken dogs up to 70lbs are allowed.
No Cats Please!
Please let us know if you will be bringing your dog along at the time that the rental is booked.
RV and boat parking is available. No hookups.
