About this property

Entire Cabin: Step Back in Time at The Piney Lodge

Built in 1961, our tiny piney cabin is located in the heart of Grand County just on the edge of the charming and picturesque town of Grand Lake. Our rustic cabin has basic modern conveniences, mostly from the 60’s, to make for a wonderful mountain vacation experience. Although we invite you to fully unplug, Comcast/Xfinity WiFi and Basic Cable Television are available at the cabin as of January 2021.

Enter the cabin and enjoy a cozy living space with an open floor plan, including a small family room and kitchen in one main room. Enjoy our well stocked kitchen with spices and condiments, while watching the hummingbirds from the kitchen table. Two small bedrooms with blackout curtains are separated by a ¾ bathroom with a single Shower – one Queen bed and one Double bed. A second full bathroom with a Bathtub and Washer/Dryer is located off the mudroom for a little extra privacy or traffic overflow.

To truly appreciate the mountain experience, gather around our fire pit for an evening under the stars. Outside there is a gas BBQ grill on the deck and a gas fire pit down below. Grab one of our cozy throw blankets and sit on the deck to take in the fresh mountain air. Alternatively, snuggle up with a fire in our wood fireplace inside and enjoy the large windows looking out the front, perfect for viewing the breathtaking views and local wildlife.

We take great pride in offering a family friendly cabin. Our cabin offers a natural outdoor space. From our deck, our cabin is sure to provide the perfect mountain getaway for your family. The family room includes a sofa with a pullout sofa bed, two swivel chairs, a small TV, DVD player and a telephone with free local and long distance calls. WiFi and Basic Cable television are now available, and there is a small library of DVDs. You will find toys, puzzles, movies, games and books to entertain the kids. For the older kids and adults, you will find plenty of games and DVDs to select from to gather as a family and enjoy on evenings or rainy days.

We are conveniently located 5 minutes to downtown Grand Lake, 10 minutes to Rocky Mountain National Park, 10 minutes to Granby Ski Resort, 20 minutes to Hot Sulphur Springs, 45 minutes to Winter Park, and a breathtaking 2-hour drive from Denver. You will find all of Colorado’s amazing offerings, right at your doorstep. From hiking, mountain biking, golfing, fishing, wildlife viewing, soaking in the natural mineral hot springs, snow mobiling, ice fishing, cross-country and downhill skiing and snowboarding, everything is nearby.

Relaxing Time in the Mountains

This was a wonderful cabin. Nice and quiet area with no shortage of fresh air and views. Just the right distance from Grand Lake so you don’t feel crowded, and yet you are close enough to food and fun. Would definitely stay here again. Even the teenaged kid and our little dog felt at home.

Great stay at this cabin

This property is conveniently located. We had no issues with anything at the cabin. It was the most well equipped place we’ve ever stayed at. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Owner was responsive with answers to questions regarding local restaurants and other things to do. We would definitely stay again.

Piney Lodge

Piney Lodge was so enjoyable, comfortable, well supplied and clean! We loved the view of the mountains from the cabin and balcony! We could have sat the balcony all day, watching the mountains and the weather! We loved being so close to RMNP!The decor and pine paneling brought back great memories! The cabin is totally supplied with everything imaginable, especially the kitchen and spices! Thanks for an awesome stay in Grand Lake!

Nice Rustic Cabin in a Beautiful Area

Just 4 of us, my wife, son, and his girlfriend for 3 days. The weather was not great, but the little cabin was comfortable, very clean, and had all the amenities. We spent a great deal of time just enjoying the cabin and the company of each other. The area is incredibly beautiful, so we made a few trips to sightsee as well as enjoy several tasty meals in Grand Lake. I would recommend this rental for a relaxing vacation.

Excellent host!

We were in town visiting our daughter and her family. Heather was a fabulous host and had a well-stocked place. It was a cute retro cabin and we had everything we needed. Best spice selection ever! Beds were comfy and the place had a pleasant odor of maple syrup. It was a little difficult to find at first. If you replace "county rd" with "city rd" in your GPS, it will take you right there. We had a wonderful time!

Grand Lake is Grand

Beatifully situated a quarter mile off the main road with a stunning view of the divide . This was the second time this year we have stayed at this quaint cabin.Neatly tucked amongst pole pines where serenity abounds with a large deck you can spend lazy days and nights, doing absolutely nothing but observing nature.Moose , deer, birds, etc make brief vists should you be lucky . Two thumbs up for peace and beauty. A great place to get away from it all.The cabin provides simple amenities for all ones needs, with plenty of space one can be content with. Its not fancy, smancy, but it sure feels like your at home!

My wife and I stayed in the cabin from Sunday to Thursday. We will definitely be coming back. It is located just outside of the town of Grand Lake, which for us was perfect. We had complete privacy and we were able to be away from the crowds after dinner. Access is super easy, the wifi works great and Heather is an awesome host. She answers questions quickly and makes you feel very welcome.The cabin has everything you would need and most things that you may have forgotten.

The main bathroom was tiny. The shower was 2’ by 2’ and there wasn’t any room to move. The shower doors didn’t close tight. The place was hot, not much breeze. Floors were dirty. Kitchen was old. Only tv in the family room was tiny. Not worth the money spent. 4:00 check in is late, but we knew about that when booking. House phone rang at 10 pm - we had been getting up early to hike so we were in bed. Would’ve been nice if ringer was off.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Lieder

Host profile image
We have always been off-the-beaten path travelers and have enjoyed staying at VRBO places since inception. It offered us an affordable option to get out into beautiful, remote places, travel with our dog, and have all the modern necessities we needed and wanted in a vacation rental, especially a kitchen and outdoor space.

Now that we have a kid, we still enjoy VRBO traveling, only now it affords us the opportunity to have a second bedroom versus cramming us all into one hotel room with lights out at 7:30 pm!

We wanted to share our tiny cabin with you for the same reasons. We hope you enjoy the beauty and serenity of Grand Lake as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I first fell in love with Grand Lake when our friends offered us their rustic cabin for our honeymoon in September 2010. We've been coming up every spring, fall or winter to enjoy different parts of Grand County ever since.

We truly enjoy the beauty of the national park, the lakes and the mountains, the wonderful and caring community, the laid back outdoor lifestyle, and the peace and quiet.

We find great pleasure in having nothing to do but to read a book or to enjoy each other's company sitting by the fire, cooking meals, playing cards, or working on puzzles together.

We knew we found the right place when on the day of our closing, we had an impromptu sleep-over with old friends and their kids. It didn't matter that the place was a little dusty from being vacant and our new beds hadn't arrived yet. We had clean sheets, plenty of fresh pillows and blankets for everyone and great company. The kids played with sticks in the yard for hours, while the adults made dinner, caught up with each other and shared stories.

We filled the cabin with laughter all night, went on a big hike the next day, and made great memories in just 24 hours.

That is exactly what the cabin is for!

What makes this property unique

We love that we have the best of everything Colorado has to offer all within a short drive -- skiing at Winter Park, soaking at Hot Sulpher Springs, XX-skiing and Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park and boating in Granby and Shadow Mountain lakes!

We also cannot resist the charming and quaint town of Grand Lake where kids and adults can run free!
