About this property

Quintessential Lake House on the shore of GL, awe-inspiring views

Enjoy making ever-lasting memories at our Cabin. In the Spring through Autumn (typically May - October) we offer a canoe, 2-kayaks and paddle board from our private dock where you may fish and play on the water all day or relax by the camp fire while you roast marshmallows and enjoy family laughter.

Year-around visit our old western GL town which is 1 mile away from the cabin. Shop for souvenirs, play mini-golf and dine. RMNP is only minutes away offering amazing views, hikes and wildlife around every corner.
Let us spoil you with a fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and spa like bathrooms. Our Grand Lake Cabin will give you the wonderful vacation you worked so hard for and deserve.

Cozy lake house

The lake house was perfect for our family of 6. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards provided, along with the fire pit. The house was very clean and comfortable and well equipped with the necessities (coffee, sugar, spices, paper products).

Beautiful Cabin on Grand Lake

We had a great stay and experience and definitely would recommend to others. The location is wonderful, a brief drive to Rocky Mtn Nat Park and a short drive or healthy walk to town. The house was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Thanks again!

We enjoyed our mini-retreat in Grand Lake. The views were incredible - even with the many burned hillsides. Patty was very responsive to our requests. Highly recommend.

Exactly as pictured plus more

We had a great trip. This cabin is a gem and is even nicer than shown in the pictures if that's possible. The views are incredible as it's right on Grand Lake. We cooked our meals in their gourmet kitchen and even played monopoly one evening in their perfect great room. The old western town of Grand Lake is just across the lake and it is only 1 mile away. We want to go back again soon.

Wonderful Property in a World Class Location

I have grown up visiting Grand Lake. A lot of the VRBOs there are old properties that take advantage of the great location to provide a sub standard experience. Not this property! It’s very comfortable and clean and the unit owner does a great job.

Great views and space!

There were us and one other couple staying with us and it was perfect! They stayed on the second floor with a bathroom while we stayed on the first floor with our own bathroom. Lots of great toys for the lake (kayaks, canoe and paddle boat). The only issue we had was with the WiFi so if you need to work from the cabin it may be a good idea to check with the host to see if it’s working. Would stay again!

Cozy Winter Retreat

Even though my husband and I rented this property during the off season, it was exactly what we needed. We watched it snow and snow and snow while we stayed cuddled up by the fire. It was beautiful. The property was generously stocked with everything you could need and Patty was incredible to work with. The small town of Grand Lake is not the place to come this time of year if you are looking for entertainment. Very few shops and restaurants were open. But I imagine it's paradise in the summer and this property would be an awesome place to stay. Overall a great trip!

What a beautiful spot on the lake! We woke up to hummingbirds greeting us while we enjoyed our morning coffee and watched our kids enjoy a morning kayak. The home is so welcoming and comfortable and the entire experience was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful lake home with us!

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Lake . The house was updated and cozy . Since we flew in we were delighted with having spices , oils, and food storage items ( foil & plastic wrap ) for left overs . The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards . Even tho the water was freezing . We strived to keep the fire pit going to warm up and go back . The town is very close with a nice variety of restaurants and in the morning hit up Jump Start bakery’s the staff was delightful . Take the time to go to Adams falls a nice easy walk .

Beautiful place!

We were craving a true lakeside getaway since Colorado has so few waterside homes like this one. We snagged a booking last year and the house did not disappoint !! Highly recommend to anyone. Our family had a wonderful time with the yard, dock, boats and gorgeous view.

Great First Lake House Vacation!

Our family had an amazing experience staying at this beautiful, quintessential Lakehouse. It was everything as advertised. This was our family’s first Lake vacation, and it could not have been better. The owner, Patty, was very communicative and great to work with. We have four kids whose ages range from 5 years old to 13 years old, and they all enjoyed the house. The location of the house, and the lakefront property was absolutely stunning. We definitely plan on returning and the future.

Slice of heaven

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute we spent at this cabin right on Grand Lake. We fished and used our paddle boards, October has minimal to no boat traffic so the water was primed for paddle barding. Our son perfected his cast and caught rainbow trout. We came prepared to bake cookies but the house was already stocked with a mixer and cookie sheets. Also one of the few VRBOs we’ve rented that is so stoked with toiletries: Lotion, Kleenex, shampoo, conditioner, that was GREAT! Also, my husband is super picky about mattresses and he LOVED the downstairs king. We are excited to bring extended family here.

We are Patty and Chris. Our lake cabin was established in 1977. In 2018 we completely renovated our cabin inside and in 2020 we replaced the original dock. We have poured our hearts and soul into our cabin and we love sharing it with good people.

What makes this property unique

One of the only (if not the only) cabin on Grand Lake which is available to rent. Grand Lake is Colorado's largest natural lake and is a sight to behold. Summer or winter it offers everything you could ever want or dream of in a vacation.
