About this property

Rustic Inn-Cozy Mountain Getaway with Stunning Lake Views & Pet Friendly!

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

Welcome to your perfect Grand Lake retreat! This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom mountain home offers comfort, space, and unbeatable views. Ideal for families, friend groups, and even your four-legged companions (up to two pets welcome!).

With two spacious living areas, one on each level—there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out and unwind. Downstairs, you’ll find a private bedroom, a full bathroom, and a cozy lower-level living room with a classic wood-burning fireplace, perfect for curling up after a day of adventure. A large mudroom and in-unit washer and dryer add convenience for longer stays or gear-heavy getaways.

Upstairs, the main living space features an open-concept dining area that's perfect for shared meals and late-night board games. A second wood-burning fireplace adds to the cozy mountain ambiance, and two additional bedrooms along with another full bathroom ensure there's space for everyone to feel at home.

Step outside to the newly updated covered porch, where you’ll be treated to panoramic lake and mountain views some of the best in all of Grand Lake. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or watching the sun set behind the peaks, this porch is the highlight of the home.

Modern conveniences like a Smart TV for streaming and a large circular driveway for easy parking of cars, trailers, and toys round out the perfect mountain experience.

Bring the whole family and don’t forget your furry friends. This welcoming home offers everything you need for a comfortable and memorable Grand Lake getaway.

*Please note that the interior steps to the main level of the home are a bit steep and could pose issues for those with mobility issues.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Idyllic quiet setting in the Rockies, just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) and the charming town of Grand Lake. Perfect spot for day hikes in the park or exploring the local surroundings. Cabin was well equipped, spacious and great view of Grand Lake and the Rockies. Highly recommend for a quiet get away and chance to enjoy and explore both RMNP and Grand Lake.

Great Place to Stay

This cabin was perfect for our family of 4 to bring in the New Year. The mountain and lake views were SO beautiful from the deck! It was amazing waking up and drinking coffee to that view every morning. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and it had a huge family table to eat together and play games. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Great location

It would have been nice to not have to go to the office to check in and out. Great location and it was perfect for our family of five. I realize that it’s a pet friendly place but didn’t like all of the urine stains on the carpet 🤮

Hi Troy, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, however we were not even made aware of the stains as you never mentioned anything during your stay or when you arrived at the home. Check in and check out is at our office we go over many things with you and can better ensure policies are followed when checking out. Have a great rest of your summer.

Overall pleasing stay

The view is incredible and the property is clean & comfortable. Saw a mama and two baby deer outside one morning. Having to deal with a 3rd party rental company (lack of flexible check-in, extra paperwork, waiting weeks for security deposit refund) despite renting a VRBO is a little frustrating.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Sept, 2023
Hi Katie, Thank you so much for your feedback! While we are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at the Rustic Inn, we do feel we should clarify a couple of things you mentioned for future renters. Vrbo is a third-party booking platform and while they have a standard range of policies those listing their homes can adopt, independent homeowners, and rental companies (neither being third parties but the direct representatives) can all utilize the platform for marketing. This means that check in procedures and many other policies can differ from home to home on Vrbo. In fact, all of our policies and procedures do align with the professional standards Vrbo requires. Thank you again, Grand Mountain Rentals

My only recommendation would be update the furniture in the downstairs living area ... very uncomfortable as you sink down about 6 inches or more ... and add a TV. We would have loved spending time there but couches were too bad.

Only a few minor things that need an update as stated in the other reviews like the showers were very hard to get to a warm temperature and mattresses were very uncomfortable but nothing like a good update couldn't handle. Other then that we loved our stay!
