Spectacular Views of Shadow Mountain Lake and RMNP (dog-friendly)!

The spectacular 180-degree panoramic view of Shadow Mountain Lake and the Rocky Mountains is what separates this vacation home from many other rental properties in the Grand Lake area.
NOTE: Kitchen remodeled in Feb-Mar 2022 (new cabinets, quartz countertops and new appliances), updated photos coming soon. New shower doors in all 3 bathrooms in January 2021. House re-stained in Spring 2020. Upper deck was replaced with composite decking in Fall 2019! Recycled asphalt driveway in Spring 2018. New great room windows installed in Spring 2017 and Spring 2021! Based on previous reviews, we purchased windows that can be opened in the great room to allow the cool refreshing lake breeze to flow through the house.

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.

In Summer, maximize your time outdoors on the decks, which both overlook Shadow Mountain Lake. 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.
