Enjoy the beauty and majesty of Grand Lake and the Rocky Mountains from this three-story, 4-bedroom, 3-bath home overlooking Shadow Mountain Lake and the Rocky Mountain National Park. The wall of windows in the large great room, as well as the two huge wrap-around decks, provide magnificent views of the lake and mountains. The bedrooms are located on three separate floors, which provides privacy for multiple family gatherings, and you can see the lake from each bedroom.

You can sunbathe or cook dinner on the propane grill on the upper deck, or spend a lazy afternoon lounging in a hammock on the lower deck while watching the boats glide by on the lake. In Winter, you can enjoy a crackling fire in the wood-burning fireplace while watching a movie or playing games on the checker-board table.
