About this property

Moose Pond – A Serene Mountain Cabin Retreat

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

Discover the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience at Moose Pond, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin tucked in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Overlooking a tranquil pond often visited by moose and elk, this cozy hideaway offers peace, privacy, and plenty of space to reconnect with nature—and each other.

Step inside and feel instantly at home with rustic mountain décor, a welcoming wood-burning fireplace, and all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. The cabin features three private bedrooms, including two with queen beds and a third bunk room with twin-over-twin bunk beds—perfect for the kids. There are also two bathrooms, one with a standing shower and the other with a shower/tub combo, making it easy for everyone to freshen up after a day outdoors.

The heart of the home is its spacious deck, where you can grill dinner, sip coffee, feed the birds, or unwind with a good book while taking in the mountain air and peaceful views of the pond and forest beyond.

Located just a short drive from downtown Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park, you'll enjoy easy access to hiking, fishing, wildlife watching, boating, and more. And when it’s time to slow down, enjoy indoor entertainment like board games, books, DVDs, and even toys for the kids—making it a truly family-friendly escape.

Whether you're looking for a cozy winter getaway or a peaceful summer retreat, Moose Pond offers an unforgettable stay filled with mountain charm and natural beauty.

Relaxing cabin very clean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the second time we stayed here. It’s always been clean. We have never seen a moose 🫎. we saw deer this time. Last time elk came to the pond. It’s always quiet. We went and got bird and chipmunk food to put in the feeder. And put the rest in the can so other people can enjoy the birds and chipmunks. Are boat had issues and I didn’t sleep real good my problem. So we left a day early but still very relaxing place!
Response from VrboOwner on 25 July 2026
Thank you for staying with us again! We're so glad you continue to enjoy the peaceful setting and all the wildlife the area has to offer. While the moose stayed hidden this time, it sounds like hopefully the deer, and the elk on your last visit, make up for it! We're sorry to hear your boat had some issues and that you didn't sleep well, but we're happy you were still able to relax during your stay. We'd love to welcome you back again! -Grand Mountain Rentals

Relaxing Stay at Moose Pond

We loved our time at Moose Pond! The pond is beautiful and there was so much wildlife to spot. It was so relaxing to sit out on the deck. The cabin was cozy and a great space for the whole family. The property management company was super helpful and responsive. We accidently broke a coffee carafe and they dropped off a replacement that day! We loved Moose Pond and would definitely stay here again!
