About this property

Quintessential Lake House on the shore of GL, awe-inspiring views

Share breathtaking, year-round lake views from our waterfront Grand Lake cabin—an inviting place to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories in every season.

Summer at the Lake

(April–November, weather permitting)

In warmer months, the cabin truly comes alive. Step onto your private dock and enjoy lake days filled with kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, fishing, and swimming. We provide a canoe, kayaks, and paddle boards for guest use (seasonal and weather-dependent). Spend long days on the water or simply relax lakeside while taking in uninterrupted mountain and lake views.

Winter: Quiet, Cozy, and Beautiful

Winter at the cabin is peaceful and scenic. Soft white fairy and café lights create a warm, welcoming retreat after a day outdoors. Enjoy ice fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, winter hiking, sledding, or snowball fights. Snowmobiles can be rented in town, with access into Rocky Mountain National Park. Or stay in—prepare a hearty meal in the upscale kitchen, play games, and watch shooting stars reflect over the frozen lake.

Comforts That Make It Easy
Fully stocked kitchen for family meals and entertaining
Comfy beds for restful nights
Spa-like bathrooms for unwinding after adventure
Warm, welcoming spaces designed for families, couples, and friends

It was a truly wonderful property. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It is an honest lakefront with a dock, multiple kayaks, paddleboards, and a canoe. It was my wife, our two boys, and me, and we had a glorious time unwinding. A wonderful host also. Thank you so much.

Over the years, we’ve always spent time hiking and snowshoeing in Grand Lake and so in February we decided to rent this lakefront property and what a wonderful decision that was! When you instantly step inside you feel like it’s a “home away from home”. The view from the back of the cabin is spectacular of the lake and mountain ranges and whether you’re out for adventure or just coming for rest and relaxation, this cabin will not disappoint. It was super clean and had all the amenities you needed with lots of personal touches making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We loved the beautiful outdoor lighting at night as well. The owners are great to work with plus the location is near Rocky Mountain National Park and one mile from the town of Grand Lake which makes it very convenient to do what you enjoy. We would highly recommend this property, and we hope to be back again in the future.

Cozy lake house

The lake house was perfect for our family of 6. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards provided, along with the fire pit. The house was very clean and comfortable and well equipped with the necessities (coffee, sugar, spices, paper products).
