We have been vacationing in Grand Lake and Grand County for nearly 40 years. We have stayed at a friend's family cottage, YMCA of the Rockies cottages, the little motel in town that was just torn down, a string of VRBO rentals, our own VRBO listed Columbine Lake cabin (7 years, sold after the fire), and back to a string of VRBO listings. I must say that this cabin was one of our favorites, right up there with our own cabin. It was perfectly maintained and spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable, it had everything we needed for cooking, there are fabulous views of both Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake, and it has a vintage cabin aura. This last point is important to me. So many places that are available just aren't interesting. There is no history apparent, just too new for me, like staying in a hotel.One thing that separates this cabin from others of its vintage is the light. There are many large windows that make it bright and cheery, while blackout blinds keep the light out when you need to. I highly recommend this cabin. Maria was a joy to communicate with.
