About This Property

The Space

Welcome to your private mountain escape on the shores of Shadow Mountain Lake in Grand Lake, Colorado. This luxurious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath chalet is a serene sanctuary in every season — but it shines especially bright in winter, when snow blankets the mountains and the lake sparkles with ice.

Designed for families and friends who appreciate both comfort and adventure, this elegant lakefront home features two spacious living areas, two stone fireplaces, and over 1,200 sq. ft. of outdoor deck space with sweeping lake and mountain views.

Step inside and feel immediately at home. The main living room offers plush furniture, a grand fireplace, and soaring windows that bring the mountains right to your doorstep. The gourmet kitchen is equipped for any chef — complete with a large island, premium appliances, and plenty of space for preparing and sharing meals together. Enjoy your Coffee Bar with your first morning complimentary welcome coffee package to start your day.

Bedrooms & Baths

Primary Suite (Main Level): King bed, fireplace, private patio doors with lake view, and en-suite bath.

Loft Bedroom: Queen bed + log bunk (full/twin), private bath — ideal for kids or teens.

Bedroom 3 (Lower Level): King bed, peaceful forest and lake view.

Bedroom 4 (Lower Level): King bed, close to lounge area and full bath with lake view.

With three king suites, a queen, and bunk space, the home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. Thoughtfully designed for extended family stays, every room offers plush bedding, quality linens, and a restful, private retreat. We even have two dog beds ready for you.

Living & Dining

Two separate living spaces allow everyone to unwind in their own way. Enjoy board games or movies downstairs while others relax upstairs by the fireplace. Gather for family dinners at the dining table or share breakfast at the kitchen island before heading out for the day’s adventures.

The home’s open floor plan encourages connection — ideal for holidays, celebrations, and cherished time together. We decorate for the holiday so you wont miss out.

Pet-Friendly Luxury

Your pets deserve a vacation too! A heated outdoor dog kennel make traveling with furry family members easy and comfortable. Let us know and we will have a dog bed and blankets by the fireplaces just for them.

Outdoors & Activities

Adventure seekers can explore Grand Lake’s world-class snowmobile trails, snowshoeing and ice fishing, while ski enthusiasts will love being just a short drive from the slopes of Granby Ranch and Winter Park.

After a day in the snow, unwind on the deck, or sip hot cocoa by the fireplace, or simply watch the stars over the still, frozen lake.

Location Highlights

This peaceful lakefront setting feels secluded and private — yet it’s only minutes from downtown Grand Lake Village, where you’ll find cozy cafés, boutique shops, and charming restaurants.

In winter, the town transforms into a postcard-perfect alpine village, with twinkling lights, festive charm, and easy access to some of Colorado’s most scenic mountain terrain.

Guest Experience

Exclusive access to the entire home and decks. The dock is closed for winter.

Luxury amenities: WiFi, stocked laundry room, coffee bar, and high-end furnishings. Hot chocolate packages and smore packages available upon request, contact host for details.

4WD/AWD + snow tires required during winter months (October–April).

Professionally cleaned and maintained for a five-star experience.

Why Families Choose This Home

Because it combines space, luxury, and location. Kids can play in the snow right outside, grandparents can relax by the fire with a view, and parents can reconnect over dinner in the gourmet kitchen. It’s the rare place where adventure and serenity meet — and every generation feels at home.

A little hard to find even w GPS. Grand Lake town is great. Renting a pontoon was awesome. Having kayaks available was really a bonus. Quiet (little street noise) and peaceful.

Beautiful home, fantastic views and great lakeside location!

Perfect location for a lake vacation. The private doc and lake access made everything super accessible for boating, paddle boarding, fishing and trips into grand lake for lunch and shopping. House was very clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking family meals and the deck offers incredible views for dinning and relaxing. Would absolutely stay again!

Perfect mountain lake house!

We stayed here for a girls trip on the lake and couldn’t have asked for a better location! The house is absolutely beautiful and a perfect location on the lake. It was a great size for 10 people and we had everything we needed! When we had a few encounters with Colorado nature, Ken was quick to reply and helpful.

Serene Lodge House on the lake

we had a great time. Views are amazing the setback in the trees over the lake, provides for great privacy and a serene environment. We enjoyed hanging out on the decks and barbecuing. We brought several paddle boards and went out every day, paddle boarding around the lake and even over to grand Lake. The location is great and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Lakeside Property

We had a small reunion of cousins and this house was perfect the weekend get together. We had 8 adults staying in the house with a few others staying at another location. Everyone wanted to spend as much time as possible at this house because of the spectacular views and plenty of deck space to share here.

Gorgeous!!

The owners were responsive and accommodating to any questions/requests we had. We were celebrating an anniversary so it was just my husband and I. The house was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The views of the lake and mountains were breathtaking and can be enjoyed from many places. We’d be so lucky to return someday. Thanks again!!

I have spoken with VRBO twice about the issues below and VRBO has attempted to reach the host a few times without response. VRBO has advised me on this review. Overall, it is nice. We are from Colorado and know the area. The yard is overgrown and needs maintenance. The decks are pretty awesome. We are a family of adults and were comfortable.The problem is that the property management (PM) is disorganized and forgetful which led to 2 of 7 days being interrupted by PMs admitted faults1) No Cleaning Crew - 1st night lost: At check-in, the place was a mess! Nothing had been cleaned, dishes everywhere, dirty toilets, unmade and dis-shoveled beds, dirty towels, a filthy kitchen. The cleaning crew showed up and spent hours cleaning while my family sat on the deck at 50F, not enjoying making dinner together. The cleaning crew left before 9pm. Bonus: we spent 30 min disarming the alarm. Exhausting… and preventable2)Unexpected workers: day lost: We had three men walk during our last day to change light fixtures…followed by a text from PM informing that my time had expired, which they later acknowledged was a mistake. I agreed to have the three men come in, with scaffolding, use the entire kitchen, and take 2 hrs. Huge inconvenience. When I suggested the PM consider compensation, the answer given back was that I got a good deal. I responded that the fair and reasonable price I paid in no way included 2 days of avoidable interruptions and poor management.Inconsiderate and avoidable
