The cabin is located just 3 miles south of Grand Lake, only a 5 minute drive into town. Venture into Rocky Mountain National Park, located just 6 minutes away or be at the slopes in Winter Park in just 35 minutes!

Our 140 sq ft cabin will give you a taste of tiny living at it`s finest. The cabin is stocked with all of the essentials including basic toiletries, towels, linens, and cookware. There is also a small beverage station featuring coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

One parking space is provided per booking. If you plan on bringing a boat/trailer, please inform us ahead of time so we can accommodate a parking space nearby for you.

Things to note: Because of the cabin`s easy access to roads, this cabin will not offer absolute silence and seclusion and may not be the place for you. You will hear highway noises during your stay. The cabin has been equipped with a sound machine for you if you are sensitive to the noise at night. In winter, this proximity is appreciated by guests because of the snow. Like most mountain homes in this area, there is also proximity to neighbors.

The cabin has a key-less entry lock. A code will be provided upon booking.

We recommend having a car to get around during your trip. There is phenomenal hiking, wildlife, skiing, and hot springs all within a 30 minute drive (or less) of the cabin!

If you are traveling during the winter months, December through March, we highly recommend an AWD or 4WD vehicle so that you don`t have any issues getting over Berthoud Pass. Winter weather can start as early as October and go as late as May. Please check the weather and plan ahead!

For severe weather, we do have a strict cancellation policy as defined by Airbnb. However, we are sensitive to those traveling in the mountains when the weather is capable of shutting down the roads. If highways are closed due to severe weather, we will provide at minimum a partial refund for the night(s) affected by closed roads. If the highways are open, the remaining nights will still be charged full price. Typically, roads are not closed for more than 24 hours at a time.

There is a $300 deposit for the cabin. It is not charged to you upon booking, only reserved in the case of damage or theft. If something gets damaged or broken, please let us know and we will figure out a solution.

**There are two main routes into Grand Lake if you are coming from the East. The quickest way is to take I-70 to Berthoud Pass. Denver to Grand Lake is a 2 hour drive. The second route, over Trail Ridge Road through RMNP is more scenic and costs $25/car. If you drive from Denver, over Trail Ridge Road and into Grand Lake it is about a 3 hour drive.
**Please note that Trail Ridge Road is closed throughout the winter as most of the road is above treeline. Please visit https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/road_status.htm to check daily closures of the road.

Please note that if you cancel a booked reservation, and it is within the timeframe for a full refund, you will receive the refund minus the credit card processing fee of 2.9%.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Jordan Phelan

Host profile image
Jason, my husband, and I are a travel loving, adventurous couple who loves, well traveling! In our free time, we enjoy backpacking, camping, good beer and doing home improvements. We enjoy hosting and meeting people from all walks of life. We hope you'll stay at our cabin and enjoy this place we have worked so hard on.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it has such a rich history. The cabins were built in the 1930's to house workers that built Lake Granby. Over the years, they have been both nightly and long term rentals. Names have changed over the years from Crescent Cabins, Timberlake Cabins, Cassandra's Cabins and now Wild Acre Cabins. There are four cabins on the property that all are/were in need of maintenance and updates. We have taken on the challenge of fixing them up and hope that you will enjoy the touches we put on them! This listing is for only one cabin that sleeps two people. The other cabins are not yet rental ready.
