The property has a picture window and deck with a view of Shadow Mountain Lake and the mountain behind it. The kitchen was exceptionally well furnished. We had two questions during the stay and the owner responded quickly in both instances.

Wonderful location. We loved starting the day on the back porch watching the birds. The hummingbirds are beautiful and so entertaining. Grand Lake was a fun little town with so many dining options all at the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. The park is amazing - what a gorgeous area. Penny Lodge had all of the extras available which made our stay that much easier.

Perfect location and views of Shadow Mountain Lake. The birds (hummingbirds, green sparrows, flycatcher) right off the deck were a bonus! Great location, ample space and wonderful amenities! Will be back next summer! Caught the most beautiful rainbow from the deck over looking the lake.

The Penny Bar Lodge is well stocked and has comfortable beds and furnishings. It is conveniently located close to the town of Grand Lake and the southwest entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. It could use a good deep cleaning, and is in need of several minor repairs. I would not hesitate staying again.

Great family location!

We spent 4 days at Penny and enjoyed every minute of it! The house is the perfect location for hiking, kayaking, and exploring the local town. We have already recommended the location to several friends and family!

Quiet, peaceful, and conveniently located!

As avid hikers in Rocky Mountain National Park, we loved the convenience of the location, as well as the peaceful respite the house provided each afternoon and evening. Close to Grand Lake, we were able to shop and eat in town when we wanted, or enjoy the peaceful quiet of the back porch, looking out at Shadow Mountain Lake and the surrounding mountains. Loved our stay!

Family Weekend Getaway

Great rustic spot snuggled in the hills just a stone’s throw away from the main drag of Gand Lake. The whole family enjoyed the weekend of hiking, fishing, and splashing in the lake. Most importantly, we’d definitely stay here again. Thanks for hosting!

The place was wonderful. Had problems with communication unfortunately. Was not sent the door code and was unable to get a hold of the owner for nearly the entirety of the stay. Only got in the house because the cleaner was still there when we showed up. From what I've seen based on other reviews this was a one off. I would still stay here again in the future. The covered deck is wonderful any time of day!

We Loved staying here

This is a beautiful peaceful clean mountain home with views of shadow mountain lake. We loved sitting in the deck and watching all the birds going in and out of all the birdhouses in trees that were just a few feet away. All the wood inside the house was gorgeous too. 10/10

Great for a family gathering at Grand Lake

Stayed here for a week for a family gathering in the Grand Lake area. Lovely, well furnished, comfortable home with great view of Shadow Mountain Lake. Very relaxing deck to watch the birds and lake. We were there for the 4th of July and the deck was great for watching the Grand Lake fireworks. Spacious master suite, living room with huge window looking over the lake, great kitchen. Highly recommend.

Christmas Vacation

Our trip was wonderful and the children enjoyed the snow! The location was great, we were close to a cute little town, close to sledding hills and other winter activities. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen was full stocked and we also added to it with a few items that we didn't use. If we come back to Grand Lake we will for sure be staying here again!!

Fun at the Penny Bar

We were pleasantly surprised at the Penny Bar. The location was spot on for our plans and the cabin was immaculate and new. Everything was provided for our 5 night stay. The game room was a great place to go relax. What a great place to return to after a day of sight-seeing, animal viewing and fishing. 4 of us stayed quite comfortably, but it would easily sleep 6 with the third room with two twin beds. We strongly recommend the Penny Bar.

Perfect Location beautiful sights

Our family would definitely come back to Penny Lane. The leather chairs were super comfy. The view and birds were beautiful. I could get use to cooking and seeing the mountain and water everyday. It was close enough to trails and all the hustle and bustle of Grand Lake but still had some seclusion. Shadow mountain lake and Lake Granby are bigger and less crowded if you're looking to do water activities. Only thing I didn't care for were all the cobwebs outside collecting pollen/bugs around the windows and on the balcony.

Peaceful

We stayed at the Penny Lodge and had a great time. Very quiet neighborhood, beautiful site of the stars and lake. Close to town and the lake, just a a few minute drive. We went to Beacon Landing to rent a pontoon boat, and had a blast on the bigger lake! I'd recommend this house for families of 4-6 people. Basement has a nice living room setup. Master bedroom has on suite. Kitchen had everything possible we needed too which was great because we cooked a lot. Overall a fun, peaceful weekend!

Even better than advertised!

We had a terrific stay at Penny Bar Lodge! The bedrooms were roomy, the bathrooms clean, the kitchen well stocked and organized. The view of Shadow Mtn Lake from the deck was incredible. This location is darn near perfect, close to RMNP and Grand Lake. We had two great hikes while we were here; Penny was a great place to relax and unwind afterwards! We had a mule deer in the backyard and the hummingbirds were very entertaining. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Mike was easily accessible and a gracious host. I hope we have the opportunity to stay here again!! 10 stars!
