Lake Front Rental/Downtown Grand Lake
Apt 2 The Blue Jay
Stay in a recently renovated 1 bedroom apartment with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. This apartment has a amazing lake view in the charming town of Grand Lake. The large shared deck overlooks the lake and public beach in the heart of downtown. Excellent walkability to all the great restaurants and shops. The apartment has a full kitchen and full bath.
Walk directly from the deck down to the public park and beach. Hike, bike, boat, paddle, swim, fish, snowmobile, snowshoe and enjoy nature in the little town on the west entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Trailheads for popular hikes are minutes from the apartment. We are across the street from popular restaurants and right on the wooden boardwalk in downtown Grand Lake. Off-street parking is available to one vehicle per apartment, free public parking is available all along Grand Avenue and in several town maintained public parking lots. The public beach has a launch for non-powered boats next to the fishing pier, bring your canoe, kayak or paddle boards.
Grand Lake is a charming little town with a lot of history. The Kauffman House Museum is open summer weekends, there are shops, galleries, and restaurants all along the wooden boardwalks. The town is surrounded by national forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. Take a drive over Trail Ridge Road to Estes Park or check out the lively town of Winter Park. Summer is the busiest season with mostly sunny weather, if you prefer a slower pace come visit us in the fall when the aspen turn red and gold and the weather is cool. Winter offers cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling very nearby and alpine skiing is just 20 minutes away in Granby. The town allows snowmobiles on the public streets, which connect to trails in the Park. Visit Hot Sulphur Springs to soak in the naturally hot spring water, one of the pools was used by the native peoples prior to arrival of pioneers.
Grand Lake is the largest natural lake in Colorado and host to two marinas. Shadow Mountain Lake connects via the channel and hosts a 3rd marina. Travel between the two lakes is permitted. Numerous creeks and rivers are accessible from public land for fly fishing. Rent a power boat from one of the marinas or rent a paddle board or kayak if you prefer a human powered ride. ATV use and snowmobile use is permitted within town limits.

My partner and I enjoyed this oasis away from home! It was the perfect stay in the best location. The host was super responsive and kind. Highly recommend this place and we plan on coming back to visit in the future!
Unbelievable view, very clean, in the heart of town!
We had such a great stay! Grand Lake is amazing and we were in the heart of town. Erick was awesome and gave us great restaurant recommendations. Perfect for our trip!
What an awesome view with the best possible location!
What an absolutely wonderful place for a getaway! The location was perfect awesome access to the stores. The view was unbelievable! If you're headed to Grand Lake I highly recommend this little diamond!
Great attentive host with a beautiful property, nicely upgraded. the view of the lake and beach were so nice and it was really great to be able to walk out of the apartment and be right on Grand Ave.
This place is perfect, especially for 4th of July activities and fireworks! Extremely clean and cozy one bedroom apartment above the birdstore in Grand Lake. Eric was super as our host and was very attentive to our needs! This is one of our favorite places to stay in the mountains! We would definitely recomend, and have, and also will stay again!
We had a great time. Loved this little place on the lake with beautiful views and convenient access to town!
Everything was clean and ready for our arrival! We enjoyed everything; the lodging, food and all the fun activities during Grand Lake Buffalo Day weekend! We will definitely visit again
Property was as described. Location is perfect, right off main street but tucked away, lake behind. Very clean, check in was super easy, communication was great and, most important, check out was very easy. Will happily stay again.
What a great find! Hosts were excellent and the location amazing. Out the front door and your right in the middle of town while the back deck overlooks the public beach. Literally walking distance to anything you may want to do. The apartment was clean and cozy we couldn’t have asked for more relaxing getaway.

We're glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again soon!
This property was perfect for 2 people plus our little pup. Beautiful kitchen, we cooked the whole time and we loved watching fireworks on the patio/deck. The lake access is RIGHT there, barely a 2-minute walk. It was perfect, we paddle boarded all weekend. Everyone was super friendly in the area, really chill area, we can't wait to come back.
This is a great apartment right in the middle of town. You could not ask for a better location. The views are stunning. Everything is easily walkable from here. There are terrific restaurants, bars, and gift shops literally within a 2-3 minute walk. Erick is a great host: easy to work with and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
