About the host

Hosted by Corry McDowell

Host profile image
We (Ray, Corry, Therese and Erik), are owners of Whispering Pines Lodge. We purchased the cabin in December of 2014 because we love the rustic and the near by mountains. On October 21, 2020 our cabin burned to the ground from the East Troublesome Fire. Our guests were safely evacuated but our area was totally burned. It has been a hard two years rebuilding the cabin. We were very underinsured so we became the building contractor with the help of our family, doing a lot of the work ourselves and sub-contracting what we couldn't do. We received our Certificate of Occupancy November 28, 2022. Our new cabin is bigger and better. We hope our guest will understand that there are still things that need to be finished as the weather allows. PLEASE know that the area has construction going on with owners rebuilding their homes. A lot of the construction close to us should be done by summer.
Ray and Corry moved to Loveland, Colorado from Michigan in 1972. Ray worked for Eastman Kodak company for 33+ years and has since retired. Corry was a graphic artist and a stay at home mom to raise their five children. Corry has won the Loveland Valentine Re-mailing contest; Cachet 17 time and Valentine card 6 times. Corry volunteers at the House of Neighborly Service because she believes in helping the those in need. Ray & Corry and daughter, Therese and husband Erik, together bought the cabin as an investment and a place to relax. Therese and Erik were married June 2014. Therese is a dental assistant and Erik has his own trucking business. Therese and Erik welcomed their first child, a little girl, November 12, 2015. To help pay the expenses we decided to rent out our cabin when not in use. Ray and Corry enjoy going to the mountains plus to the cabin to do the cleaning after guests have stayed. Our favorite activity when enjoying the cabin is walking around the lake, looking for wildlife and enjoying the wildflowers.

Why they chose this property

The mountain scenery in Grand Lake is the most beautiful in all of Colorado. And it is so peaceful in the Sun Valley Lake area that a person can forget all their troubles. We love this cabin because we did the rebuild of this cabin design, in an area with beautiful vistas and off the beaten path of everyday life.
