This place was right off the main road, which was convent but noisy at times. 5 minutes from the main part of town. Overall a great stay. Some photos that are shown aren’t exactly what it’s like now.

This was a minimalist cabin but very efficient. Close to RMNP for hikers and easy access to lakes for fishermen. Traffic noise as close to major roadway only issue.

Small but very cozy cabin. It has everything you need. The cabin is next to a main road but the noise is not bad. We enjoyed our stay.

Great Little Get Away

The cabin was lovely. Comfy bed, clean, great location and contact with Jordan is easy. Highly recommend if you don't need a lot of space for a short getaway to Grand Lake and surrounding areas.

This cabin was the perfect location to stay for a wedding that was just outside of Grand Lake. Very small but perfect for a couple or single person. Very fair price for what you get.

Tiny cabin

Cute tiny cabin with everything we needed. Perfect for day trips into the park. As described, close to the main road so there is some traffic noise which dies down at night.

Family wedding in Grand Lake

This sweet little place was just perfect for us! It is very well thought out and organized. The front deck was perfect for a morning cup of coffee. Beautiful views and close proximity to shops, restaurants and the lake.

Lovely little cabin

Great little cabin with a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains. I wish it was a little further off the main road, but that didn’t make the getaway any leas special. The host was excellent. The property was pristine. Great access to Grand Lake and RMNP.

This was the perfect homebase for a couple days of ice fishing. Loved the location. Everywhere i wanted to go was just a short drive away. The property was exactly what i was looking for. Had everything i needed.

We had a great time at the little Cabin! It was perfect for the two of us! I loved the noice maker with the rain sound and the apps on the TV. We were close to Granby and Grand Lake. We spent time in both! Even being close to the road it was still nice and quiet!

Loved it!! Cute and simple little cabin. My husband and I enjoyed our quick little getaway weekend.

I loved how Jordan replied so quickly on any questions we had. I loved the decor and the "Thank You" little bag that was left for us. We plan to go back this summer, hopefully they'll have some open dates in the late summer. The Barela's

Adorable cottage

Super cute and cozy little cabin! All that you need is there; the host answers questions almost immediately! 8 minutes to Grand Lake; a little near the highway but traffic thins out after nightfall. I really enjoyed my stay there, and will definitely book it again if I'm in the area! Cool enough at night to sleep well; just leave the windows open after sunset and turn the fan on.

was great, right next to grand lake, unfortunately that trail ridge road was closed so there was no way to get to Estes park in less than three hours. But very cute house, retains heat well.

Tiny and no place to place luggage for 2 people. Door to the bathroom was broken so no privacy. Microwave slide out was funky. Was not worth the price we paid. But Grand Lake is beautiful!

Cute!!

My Husband and I had a great time staying at the Scarlet Paintbrush! It is a little piece of history that was tastefully decorated and cozy. Check-in was easy, there were plenty of heating options, great selections for streaming movies/TV and we had everything we needed to cook a meal. It was very close to the activities we had booked while in the area and it was easy to find. The communcation with the host, Jordan, was the best I've experienced at any short term rental and she made sure we had all of the information we needed. We look forward to bringing our family here and staying in the other cabins on the property at Wild Acre Cabins! 🙂

Overall super cozy!

We had a great stay here for two nights. Getting to and from the main strip in Grand Lake is very easy and it's right around the corner from some fun trails. I just had two small issues: The bathroom door doesn't close all the way (there's a noticeable space between the door and the wall) so if you want/need privacy, it's not great. And the thermostat (heat only) is set to 68 and can't be changed. I just wanted to turn it off so that the heat wouldn't run overnight, but that's not possible. Small nitpicks. Overall it was nice!

NO room for suit cases , no where to hang cloths at all, hot water doesn't last long

Property looks nice inside and out, No where to hang clothes at all. No where to put suit cases. Hot water doesn't last long. Was told by host only 20 gallon hot water heater. Dust from dirt road comes in when front window is open . Cabin was Clean. WE were on given only 2 wash cloths and 2 towels for 5 nights. host had 2 more dropped off later.No instructions for hot plate to cook on. We had to contact host .If all of thing's were better we would have enjoyed our stay. I hope this helps everyone who stays in this cabin
