About this property

Lakefront Home - Dramatic views from upper and lower decks

We invite you to enjoy our beautiful mountain home for a relaxing vacation in the winter or summer in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. With wifi and cable TV you can stay in touch with the world while enjoying the seclusion of this nature lovers paradise. Our home's incredible views take your breath away every morning when you wake up and look across the sparkling water. Sit and watch nature's activity on the lake for hours on end. The islands in the lake provide a back drop for a dramatic nature show where Osprey nest and white pelicans perch. Deer, Elk and Moose are often spotted from the deck. Shadow Mountain rises up out of the water on the far shore giving this beautiful mountain lake its name, 'Shadow Mountain Lake.'

In the winter, you can snowshoe, ice skate or snowmobile on the frozen lake right out the back door. Spend hours of fun snowmobiling through town or on the 100+ miles of trails around the Grand Lake area. Grand Lake Village is the snow mobile capital of Colorado! Only 20 minutes from the Granby Ranch skiing area and 40 minutes from the world famous (and local's favorite) Winter Park and Mary Jane ski areas, this is a beautiful and quiet winter getaway.

Our home is located where the headwaters of the Colorado River enter the lake, creating an estuary-like waterfront on your doorstep. In the lake there is fishing for trout and Kokanee Salmon. This lake is connected at its other end to Grand Lake via a navigable waterway and visits to Grand Lake Village are a must, whether by boat or by automobile. This quaint mountain town has a special charm, choosing covered boardwalks rather than cement sidewalks. Fun mountain town activities like Saturday night bingo in the park, browsing curio shops, playing miniature golf or experiencing the yummy candy and ice cream stores. You can also enjoy the authentic mountain night life by taking in a play at the live theater, bowling, or drinking and dancing in the rustic saloons and many different restaurants.

Right out the door from the lower level of the house you can use our complimentary canoe and paddle on the lake around the islands for sight seeing and fishing. We really love our mountain home and we would like to share it with you. It is a place that you will never forget.

We loved our stay at the lake. The house had about everything you might need to enjoy the lake. We used the canoes and kayaks every day that was a huge bonus to the property. The sounds of the water and bird watching were very peaceful. Hope to return one day!

Perfect house, fun location

We had a great time up here with our group for the weekend. The house was clean and had everything we needed. It is right on the lake which was a bonus and even had canoes and kayaks we could use. We spent a lot of time in the back around the fire pit.

Another great stay at Grand Lake

This was our fourth visit and wonderful as always. Every year we have some traditions but also new experiences. When the lake water was high we kayaked as much as we could, and as the water lowered we enjoyed the increase in wildlife. We saw a number of moose and had one walk right in front of the home, amazing! The decks are our favorite hangout spots, with morning coffee and relaxing evenings. The bird watching is so much fun. The home has everything we needed and we loved the new kitchen appliances and countertops.

The house and area were perfect for our family. With kayaks and canoes right on the water we could go out on the water any time we wanted. With two levels the kids could play downstairs while the adults were upstairs enjoying the view of the lake and mountains.

Lovely Lake Home

We (my husband, daughter and her bestie and me) spent the long 4th of July weekend and this lovely lake home. We felt very comfortable, the house had everything we needed including tranquil views of the lake. We enjoyed the fireworks display from the top deck, hiking, kayaking on the lake, listening to the birds every morning and seeing the massive pelican flock on the lake just beyond the deck. It was the perfect house for relaxing, watching movies, and drinking in the beautiful scenery. It’s a quick drive to RMNP for hikes and downtown Grand Lake if you want to visit shops and restaurants. I have a feeling we will be back, we really loved the house.

This is a beautiful location! The added canoes and kayaks were a huge bonus! The house itself was comfortable for our group of 8. The cleanliness of the place was questionable and we did do some cleaning upon arrival.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jul, 2023
Thank you for your review. We will pass on your comment about cleaning to our cleaning service. Our cleaning service is reliable and we rarely have issues. However, with the house being in a lakefront location nature is very active with everything from insects to moose and bears. As I am writing this note from the deck a doe and her fawn crossed through the shallows to the island in the lake. Leaving screen doors open for even a minute or two allows small, harmless bugs inside. The little bugs are part of the ecosystem and provide food for the birds, fish and bats that we love. Having them on widow sills and such is just part of life on the lake. We often have to dust them off too.

Great Getaway

We had an amazing stay. The home was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the amazing views of the mountains, lake, and birds from the living room and deck. The sandbars in the lake in front of the home were a great place for kids to play. Our favorite activity was exploring the islands with the canoes and kayaks. What a great place to get away from it all!

About the host

Hosted by Lb Canova

Host profile image
Brent and Lori are avid travelers and have been renting through VRBO for many years in places all over the world, from Hawaii to Costa Rica (the picture), Mexico to Germany and Italy and most recently Africa. We know what is important to us when we travel and we like to share that same experience with the people who rent our vacation home in Colorado.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting this area since we were children. Lori's parents met here. We are natives of Colorado and we plan to retire in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. This vacation home is a step in that direction.

What makes this property unique

Seeing animals in the wild, hiking, biking, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and skiing in the Rockies and visiting Rocky Mountain National Park are just the beginning of what we love here. The quiet and solitude that this area evokes are just right for recharging our batteries for our lives in town and while traveling. Sitting on the deck and watching the lake as it takes on its never ending array of reflections, contrasts and moods is pure joy.
