Ryan’s Retreat was perfect for our large family. We all had our own space and the communal space was perfect for games and eating. The house was clean and the deck views are amazing. It’s really close to downtown Grand Lake so going into town multiple times wasn’t a hassle. 10/10!

This house was the perfect place to stay for our visit to the Rocky Mountains. The town of Grand Lake was adorable and the house was very close to restaurants, stores, and the park. The lady at Grand Mountain Rentals was very professional and helpful! Would definitely stay again.

Overall the house is perfect! The location is perfect, close to town and easy access to the lakes. The size was perfect for our group, lots of gathering space to spend time together. The beds are very uncomfortable and the water pressure for the showers are disappointing. Otherwise good place to stay!

Great Rental Cabin

This place is great for a large group. Very nice outdoor areas, easy to find, spacious interior and clean. For how nice everything in the house is, a better grill would be nice. It worked though and we cooked some really nice meals in the house.

Pond Hockey Hangout

The property management was responsive to queries and worked with our timing issues. The location was in a great setting, make sure to have AWD in winter. The home slept 11 but could easily sleep more. Sheets and towels were fresh. The grill worked, there isn't much more we could ask for.

Loads of fun

We had a wonderful time our neighbors were so nice. First vacation with all the grandkids so our normal fun thing when there were limited. We found out-put and the hover cars and race cars. Kids and adults had a blast all day. Three straight years in that area and will still go back as much as possible

It was not spotless when it comes to cleanliness. However, that seemed to be more the fault of previous guests not cleaning up after themselves than the housekeeping staff. Overall it is a great rental for a large family with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy.

Beautiful Views & Great Location

Stayed for a long weekend and went fishing on Grand Lake and Lake Granby. House was equipped with everything you needed, including kitchen items and bathroom essentials. Home had beautiful views of the mountains (and the recent burn area) and less than a 5 minute drive to RMNP and Grand Lake. We saw a mama moose and her baby at the end of the driveway, across the street. The long driveway was spacious enough for us to park our pontoon. You won't be disappointed! Hope to return in the future! Thank you.
