About this property

This cozy, centrally located cabin is nestled in the pine trees, with a trout stream (kayakable) that empties into Grand Lake out the back door. The cabin sleeps 6 with 2 bedrooms (a queen size bed in one, a full size bed in the other with electric mattress pads and down comforters!), while the living area has two rocking recliners and a queen size sofabed couch with a memory foam mattress. It is well-appointed with a modern kitchen (refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, oven/range, dishwasher, Keurig coffee maker). Wood paneled walls and ceilings with wood floors throughout. Dining table seats 4 (6 with leaf) with 4 more places at the breakfast bar. Bathroom with tub/shower and cable tv in living room. Cozy up with the gas stove while enjoying the views of the mountains, lake and stream through the large windows on 3 sides. Keep an eye out for the neighborhood fox and moose!

Year round you can enjoy downtown Grand Lake with shopping, restaurants and entertainment, antiquing, live musical theater in Grand Lake, museums, and nearby fitness center, health/beauty spa, and basketball. And, of course, wildlife viewing (esp., moose, elk, deer, fox).

Summer visitors can enjoy boating, rafting, kayaking, sailing, water-skiing, lake swimming, fishing, golf, tennis, biking, mountain biking, dirt biking, hiking, hunting, rock climbing, horseshoes, miniature golf, horseback riding, and hot air ballooning. And the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theater has a great summer schedule of Broadway musicals. So much to do...so little time!

Snowmobilers can sled in/sled out (snow permitting) to enjoy the snowmobile capital of Colorado, with over 100 miles of trails. Grand Lake is at the west entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park with cross country skiing and snowshoe trails galore. World class downhill skiing and snowboarding at Winter Park only 35 miles away and Steamboat Springs 93 miles down the road, with Sol Vista, a small local ski hill, just outside Granby, about 15 miles. Or enjoy the hot springs at Hot Sulphur Springs, a mere 23 miles from town. Or stay in the area and enjoy the many activities at Rocky Mountain National Park and in town during the winter, especially during Christmas and New Year's. Don't miss the holiday show at the Rocky Mountain Repertory Theater and the New Year's Eve celebration with frozen fireworks.

Come enjoy the crisp, clean air, beautiful starry nights, and majestic views of Grand Lake and Mount Baldy at our little slice of heaven. (please, no pets and no smoking!)

Beautiful views in a cozy cabin

We had a great time at Lemmon Lodge. We’ve stayed at a few other cabins on the property and this one by far has the most stunning views! You can see the river and the lake from the huge windows in the living area. Jeannette was a great host, very communicative and made the whole stay so easy. Comfortable and well kept cabin with everything you need. We will be back for sure. Thank you!

My husband, me, and our two kids stayed here for our second year. It is so amazing. The cabin is cozy and well stocked. It’s so convenient to town but is also right on the water with an amazing view. We definitely recommend.

Perfect Mountain Retreat

My wife and I absolutely loved our winter stay at this amazing Lemon Lodge home. We could not have asked for a better property to enjoy our 3-night mountain retreat. Cabin location was perfect for quick and beautiful walk to main street to enjoy shopping and dining. The property was well stocked with everything we needed, and the decorations were charming. Nearby drives to Grandby and Kremmling provided stunning mountain, valley, and wildlife viewings.

Fantastic location

This cabin was perfect for our fall getaway. It is the best location in Grand Lake. You can walk into town from the cabin which is so convenient. The cabin is set in the peaceful Lemmon Lodge area where it is quiet and you have immediate access to the lake. We enjoyed the community fire pit and even took the cabin's kayaks out for a spin on Grand Lake. The owners were great and the communication was very prompt. I highly recommend this wonderful cabin.

Beautiful views, cozy cabin on Grand Lake with one downside

This cabin was perfect for a getaway with one privacy issue that I didn’t care for on this particular trip. I gave an overall rating of three stars because there were a number of other tenants and / or residents in the neighborhood who used the backyard as their path to the lake. I was surprised to see people walk right by the back windows when I was sitting there reading or making meals. The property manager informed me that the HOA allows for an open plan so no one was trespassing - it just felt intrusive when all I needed was a very ‘antisocial’ three days away from my busy, social, day-to-day life in the Front Range. I would not recommend this cabin’s location if you’re looking for total privacy. I didn’t want to close the blinds because the stunning lake and fall foliage is why I came to Grand Lake. Otherwise a sweet cabin with nice ammenities and cozy!

Best location on Grand Lake!!

We had the best family vacation at this magical property! If you are considering booking here, do it! This house is literally situated at the best location in Lemmon Lodge… Right next to the Inlet/river, where you can enjoy a picnic dinner overlooking the water, and just steps to the lodge’s private sandy beach, which was just perfect for our family. No crowds, just a very friendly and calm beach scene. Watching fireworks over the lake is a night we will always remember as a family. Jeannette was a super responsive host and provided everything we needed in the adorable cabin. It was just perfect for our little family. We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen, playing games at the table together, and using it as a base camp for all of our adventures, both on the lake and in Rocky Mountain National Park. Could not have been better, and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much.

Incredible May Getaway!!

The property was amazing and we enjoyed wildlife every single day at the Lemmon Lodge cabin! We saw moose three different days we were there. The cabin amenities were wonderful!! We appreciated having kayaks, bicycles, and fishing gear available to us! The heated toilet seat in bathroom and dual heated mattress pad in master bedroom were wonderful touches! The views were amazing! The cabin was warm, cozy and had the cutest decor! We went hiking almost every day!! Adams Falls and Cascade Falls were amazing! We enjoyed hiking at RMNP - despite snow drifts and flooding from snow melt! It was nice missing tourist season snd practically having Grand Lake and the hiking trails to ourselves! We highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jeannette McDonald

Hi! We are Don and Jeannette, empty nesters and learning to enjoy our second childhood. We met in college, though never dated, went our separate ways, had families and careers. In 2009 Don showed up at Jeannette's office to tell her that he'd loved her for 35 years. Life conspired to bring us together and now we're exploring anything and everything life has to offer…often together!

Why they chose this property

Don currently lives in Colorado and Jeannette lives in Wisconsin. We were looking for a place where we could enjoy Colorado treasures. We were intrigued with Grand Lake because of the laid back town, the proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park, and all the recreation possibilities in the area. When we saw this cabin on the water (great for kayaking, which we love) and so close to the main street in town, we couldn't believe our luck. We are thrilled with our purchase and we're willing to share our piece of heaven with you!

What makes this property unique

First and foremost we are in awe of the views of the mountains, lake, river, and trees surrounding the cabin. And, as they say, everything is location, location, location! On the lake and only two blocks from town!!??!!! Incredible. Next we were impressed with the quality of the cabin. Wonderful workmanship, nicely finished and modernized. We just can't believe that we are lucky enough to be able to own this part of paradise.
