About this property

Ryan's Retreat - Sleeps 16! Perfect getaway for the large family!

*This cabin is located in the Town of Grand Lake, NOT Estes Park*

Located just 10 minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, and only a short 5-minute drive to the heart of Grand Lake, this expansive home is the ultimate year-round retreat for families, adventurers, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. With room for everyone to relax and spread out, this multi-level home offers comfort, space, and stunning mountain views from nearly every window.

On the entry level, you'll find a cozy living area, a full bathroom, and the perfect bunk room for kids or larger groups—featuring three bunk beds (two twin-over-queen and one twin-over-twin) and plenty of space to unwind.

Head upstairs to the main level, where a spacious open-concept kitchen and living area welcomes you in. Vaulted ceilings, a grand stone gas fireplace, and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains create the perfect gathering space. This level also includes two private bedrooms: a queen bedroom with a full bathroom just outside the door, and a serene primary suite with a queen bed, attached private bath, and a gas fireplace for those crisp Colorado nights.

The top level features a fun and cozy loft lounge—complete with comfy couches, a TV, and an impressive movie collection—sure to be a favorite hangout for the kids. Just off the loft, you’ll find a fourth private bedroom with an attached balcony for morning coffee or evening stargazing, and a bathroom conveniently located just outside the door.

You are sure to enjoy the large deck equipped with comfy outdoor seating and a BBQ grill, ideal for dining under the stars or simply watching for local wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled—moose, elk, and deer frequently wander by!

Whether you're here to explore RMNP, relax by the fire, spend a day on the lake, hit the snowmobile trails or simply soak in the mountain serenity, this beautifully laid-out home is your perfect Grand Lake getaway.

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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic week in Grand Lake and RMNP!Ryan's Retreat was a great rental for our entire family. 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.

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.

RMNP Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was very nice. It was big enough for our group of 12 and everyone had plenty of room. It is located about 3 minutes from downtown Grand Lake, which is a very nice town with plenty of restaurants and shops. It is about 5 minutes from the west park entrance. It was about a 1.5 hour drive to the Bear Lake hiking area and Estes Park. The house itself was very nice with plenty of room. The sunset views from the great room and back deck were amazing. We did have an issue with the dishwasher during our stay. Management was very good at communicating with us. Overall, this is a great house, and we would stay again.

Great place!

Great place and beautiful part of God’s creation. Place could use a few upkeep touches. Upstairs window will not open. Light on ceiling fan does not work. Lamp in living room has bad switch. One kitchen chair needs repair. Did not like the fact that we had to bring garbage to the dumpster in town. Overall great place and we enjoyed using it.

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

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.

Grand Christmas vacation

Beautiful home love the grand lake area only thing house was not very clean and several lights and the fire place in master and master shower couldn’t be used . Also bbq grill and oven needed to be severely cleaned before using and not near enough hot water for 16 people or enough beds the loft couch had a sign to not use as a pull out and the bunk beds downstairs are really lose and sway back and forth. This being said it was a great stay it’s just needs a thorough cleaning and a maintenance man for a day many other little things to fix in house outlets ect
