very nice
Beautiful house with a great location and incredible views. The space was perfect for 6 adults and 3 kids. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck with its amazing views and gas fire pit. Super close to town, rmnp and golf course. We had a great time here but would like you to consider a contactless checkin and additional amenties such as showering products and tissues. We were give 2 sets af mini shower products for our entire group and zero kleenex. We also think that with the cleaning fee trash could be picked up by cleaners.
Frustrations with Heat, Driveway Conditions and Trash Removal
Upon our arrival to the Lakeview Lodge, we noticed that the upstairs, where most bedrooms are located, had absolutely no heat. We called the emergency number immediately and the heating and air technician arrived over an hour later. He could not identify the problem initially, so he called the property management company to confirm if the house was equipped with two furnaces and to gain access to the back shed. They were unable to assist with either, leaving the technician to drill into the door to discover the second furnace which hadn’t been serviced in years. It wasn’t until after midnight when he was finally able to remedy the problem. As a property management company, the technicians should be set up for success to be able to fix the heat quickly and efficiently and there should be a policy that requires homeowners to complete regular maintenance so that renters who are paying good money do not have their vacation disrupted by something that is easily preventable. Or in the very least, offer some sort of compensation for the inconvenience.
The driveway conditions were treacherous. Even though we had 4WD, which the listing states is a requirement due to the residential areas not being maintained, we experienced issues with getting out on multiple occasions. Despite using fallen branches and rubber mats for traction, as well as our own ice melt, it was nearly impossible to navigate. We were only provided with two shovels, both of which were broken and no access to the garage. Additionally, the listing does not state that they will only plow unless there is an additional 4-6 inches of snow, which was very inconvenient. Since this property lists the poor road conditions, they should provide sturdy shovels, ice melt and other tools to assist with getting out in the snow. The renters should not have to hold this responsibility.
The most inconvenient requirement of checkout is that you must take all trash into town and dispose of it in a dumpster behind the property management office. This is something that should be advised upon booking, not check-in. If you are unable to remove the trash before checkout, it is $50 per bag that is deducted from your security deposit. For the price of the house, renters should not have to take out their trash, especially when we are already paying a hefty cleaning fee. It is not a fun way to end a vacation.
Future renters should heed our advice and think twice about booking this property.
Overall, very nice. Good location. Quality house with a number of nice features. Quiet and warm, nice audio system with plenty of room.
Would like to see a hot tub on the property and to have the deck shoveled off so it would be usable with a outdoor fire.

Beautiful home with spectacular views of Shadow Mountain Lake and Mount Baldy. Beautiful deck for evening hangouts. Main floor bedroom has an outside entrance and upstairs King bed is on a wooden frame-noisy at night. Slight issue with ants, but probably expected in the hills.
This has such a great view of Grand Lake and Shadow Mountain! Lots of chairs!
The inside was great with a loft for the kids to watch tv and a neat bunk room.
2 very nice big bathrooms too!
We stayed at the for three nights over the New Years. The house is actually bigger than it looked on the pictures. Main room is very spacious and is open to the kitchen which makes the entire space even more useful. Lots of room upstairs as well. We had 4 adults/4 kids in our party and felt very comfortable. Large deck overlooking the lake is very nice for warmer times of the year.
One thing to be aware of - the driveway to the house slopes down and you might need to have better tires and an SUV to make it back up when it snows. Tacoma made it fine, Highlander did not.
Overall - would definitely recommend this property, and would probably come back when it's warm to enjoy the lake views from the deck.

Beautiful cabin. We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Views were amazing. Short drive to the cute little town of Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park. We had everything we needed. The deck is a great place to enjoy the scenery and relax.
Our check in process was easy. We requested a late check out Sunday of 1pm because we had an evening flight and had to drive to Denver. The rental office extended the check out from 10am to 11am but insisted if we stayed any longer they would charge us for an entire day. Even though the next renters were not arriving for a few days and the cleaning crew were not coming to clean on a Sunday. This would have been an easy request to accommodate but the “owner of the business” got flustered and unaccommodating upon our request.
The bathrooms need to be better stocked. We only had 5 people staying at the house listed for 10 and even with our small group we were running out of toilet paper and needed to buy our own…which we left doe the next renters. There was a couple of tiny soaps but there was ZERO toiletries to take a shower. We didn’t have body wash, shampoo/conditioner etc. We needed to shower for a wedding and it was disappointing to be without proper supplies.
We found it inconvenient not to have trash pick up. We had to put our bags of trash for the weekend in the car with left over bbq etc and dispose of it in a dumpster behind the rental office. If there is a cleaning crew coming maybe you have a trash bin for the guests to leave the trash and the cleaning crew takes care of the trash dumping. We had to make a couple trips because our luggage and trash bags would not both fit in the car which is a pain when we had a deadline to get out of the house.
When we left Sunday and my sister had left her wedding rings on the counter. I texted the number given to me and we were thankful of the quick response. The rings were retrieved and put in the lockbox for a family member to pick up. Thank you for making the trip to get the rings that was a big help.
The house is nice, spacious and clean. It would not have been easy to fit 10 people in the house as described unless you are putting people on couches?? Overall it was a good place to stay for a couple days with a few improvements in hospitality it would be much better.
Great log cabin with an awesome view of the lake and mountains. We got a visit from a moose and her baby. Saw a deer while having breakfast at the house too. We enjoyed a birthday dinner at Huntington Tavern at Grand Lake Lodge. The weather was awesome and we got to enjoy fall colors.

This is a beautiful house with an absolutely amazing view of the lake. The size of the house was perfect for 2 families (8 people) with plenty of room to hang out. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed and even had some spices and oils. The big deck was the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the view. Our only compliant is that the mattresses are all terrible. They are creaky, saggy, and incredibly uncomfortable. We all slept terribly. Sleep is important, and this house would be perfect if the owners would invest in new mattresses.

The house was exactly as shown in the photos. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking ware. Grande Lake is a nice peaceful town that is very close to the park entrance. The view from the deck, wonderful. It was definitely a great stay, lovey house and the folks managing the property great. I’d definitely recommend it

We were thrilled with this beautiful, spacious house with an amazing view of Shadow Mountain Lake, Grand Lake and the mountains. We were there with our three college sons and the home was spacious and well-appointed. We ate take-out from the local restaurants because, as our sons said, "Why go to a restaurant when we have the best view in town right on our deck." House was secluded and private, yet just a short 5 minute drive into town. We were saddened to see the wildfire damage in the park, but this did not directly impact the property or any of the views. I would highly recommend this property!

The Lakeview Lodge was just perfect!! The view of Shadow Mountain Lake, Grand Lake and the mountains off the deck is absolutely beautiful!! We had a party of eight and had plenty of room. The kitchen was supplied with everything you might need. The location was good, we were less than five minutes from town and RMNP. We would definitely stay here again. Great place!!
We stayed at this cabin with our adult children and some of our friends. The cabin was absolutely beautiful! We saw a lot of deer and a few moose. The view from the balcony was spectacular. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone staying in the area and would most definitely rent it again if staying in the same area!
Took some friends and family for a long weekend in Grand Lake. This property is absolutely beautiful, in a perfect locations, and you can't beat the view. Will definitely book again!
