About this property

4th of July Deal! Best firework show right on the water! Unbeatable!

This Villa is nestled right on Shadow Mountain Lake and easily has the best view that the town of Grand Lake has to offer. The gorgeous Mt. Baldy is framed by every window in this spectacular home. If you want breathtaking views this is the place to come. Very close to RMNP for killer snowmobiling and just a 20 minute drive to Granby Ranch Ski Resort and about 45 minutes to Winter Park. Close to epic tubing in Fraser. This beautiful home is situated just over 1/2 mile from the town of Grand Lake. This is an easy walk to town along the well maintained and flat dirt road right in front of the house. This home has its own private dock that can easily accommodate any toy you wish to bring. Outdoor firepit just off the water allows you to visit and roast marshmallows as the sun sets over the lake. It wouldn't be surprising to see some amazing wildlife right outside your door.
This luxury villa is built of the finest materials and every room and window highlights the amazing views. A large deck area gives you ample outdoor space to relax and enjoy time as a family and soak up that pure mountain air. The sunken hot tub is professionally cleaned and could not be more perfectly placed. Soak lakeside under a million stars after a hard day of hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, horseback riding, or exploring the town. The gas grill also found on the deck provides the ability to grill even in the coldest of mountain temperatures.

Every detail has been thought of in this high-end mountain villa. The gourmet kitchen has everything you could possibly need to create meals to remember. This kitchen boasts two built-in dishwashers, two built-in refrigerators, double ovens, and a five-burner stovetop. The granite countertops and custom cabinetry only enhance the ambiance. We have tried hard to think of everything you could possibly need to create your family's favorite meal. This kitchen will have space for everyone, with the bartop seating 4, the dining table seating 8, and additional seating out on the deck. In the summer months, there is an old picnic table right by the lake.
Right off the kitchen is a huge great room with majestic ceilings and matching views. This area has a custom stone fireplace to cozy up next to on chilly nights. Huge seating area with 70' flat-screen TV to watch vintage movies, play games, or read a good book.
The House sleeps up to 12 people, but best for only two couples if they are wanting their own private bedroom and bathroom. The third level master has a private deck with a stunning view, king size bed, romantic fireplace, large walk-in shower, and separate large soaking tub. There is an additional huge walk-in closet with a secret entrance to the loft which sleeps two on separate twin size beds. The loft is sure to be a favorite for the kids. On the first floor, you have a 2nd master sweet with a King size bed and private 3/4 bath. A 3rd guest room has 4 built-in bunk beds and a queen-size pull out bed also with a separate full bathroom across the hall. An additional powder bath off the great room on the 2nd floor.
A beautiful laundry room complete with a laundry shoot makes this home unforgettable.
All of this is nestled just minutes away from Rocky Mountain National Park and the charming town of Grand Lake where life is often celebrated with parades, fireworks, holiday decorations, and a musical repertory theatre. A range of exceptional restaurants provides year-round dining from BBQ to creekside historical ambiance. Local shopkeepers are friendly, and the range of galleries/gift shops are always a fun way to spend an afternoon. Visit us for an exceptional holiday you will remember for a lifetime.
Thank you for your interest and we are happy to answer any questions you might have in a prompt and courteous manner.
Thank you!

We want this house to be the right fit for you and want to make sure that there is as much clarification as possible to insure that no one is disappointed. This is a 3 story property and we have had reports that the stairs are a bit steep. It is not the best fit for those who have difficulty climbing stairs and or needing wheel chair capacity. Additionally, you do have to go through the master bedroom to access the loft. Guests in the loft will have their own sink and tub but will need to share a toilet with those in the master bedroom.

Many have loved their stay here. I hope you will love this lakeside treasure as much as we do.Granby Ranch Ski Resort. Huge gathering room with cozy fireplace to warm up!!!

Beautiful mountain and lake views from a spectacular house.

Becca the property manager was outstanding! Her communication on the check-in process was great and overall she touched base with us periodically to make sure everything was good. The house itself was beautifully decorated with a first class touch. Kayaks and paddleboards were used daily and provided fun on the water. Located right on Shadow Mountain Lake gave us such breath taking views along with easy access to the lake. And having different kinds of wildlife around and near the property was amazing! We would stay here again!

Phenomenal stay and leasing experience

From the finishings to the location to the friendly and caring communication, staying in this home was a true relaxing getaway for my family. Aside from the close proximity to hiking in the park, shopping and eating in town, and fishing/boating in the lake - this home provides incredible views including sun set/rise and star gazing from the large deck. Highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy all the area has to offer.

Best family vacation ever

Our hosts were the best. The location is perfect. The home is beautiful and clean. We were able swim off the dock, boat, paddle board and experience the "leave your worries at the door" vacation. The neighbors were welcoming and kind. Thank you for allowing our family to stay at your home. Sincerely, Lori

Wonderful stay

Great property close to town on the lake with fantastic views. Very comfortable home and great communication with the owners. All in good order and a pleasure to return it to them as requested. Having owned rental properties ourselves, all stay requirements reasonable and information correct in listing. Will come again. Grand Lake a fun little town, try it yourselves.

Beautiful setting but the house was filthy.

This home has all it needs. The setting is beautiful. Kitchen well equipped. The home needs TLC. The front door handle was broken and when I say broken it fell off. The trash had not been taken out for at least 3 weeks, dust was everywhere and I mean at least 2 inches thick. Floors where filthy. When I called the management office they just said they would watch the situation instead of making the housekeeper come and take care of the issues. He said they would send someone to fix the door handle. It was never fixed. We did enjoy Grand Lake and had a wonderful time but I would never stay at this home again.

Loved it!

This house is stunning! I honestly felt like a queen in a castle. Every detail you could ask for was meticulously thought out in the house. The stairs are steep but it’s a great workout. If you have asthma it might trigger an attack going up the stairs. I don’t think you could have a better view. Sitting in the hot tub with snow coming down felt magical. When the sky was clear at night the stargazing blows your mind. It was so quiet outside at night we could hear a sneeze across the lake, lol. Rebecca was so helpful. If we needed anything she was very quick to respond. If you have any suggestions for things just ask. She has a whole welcome packet of very useful information that was super helpful. There is a resident moose that is fond of the backyard. Be on the lookout. We picked up a hummingbird feeder in town because there were so many zipping back and forth. I suggest making sugar water to fill it. They will go to the feeder even when it’s snowing. We made lots of very cool memories during our stay. I absolutely recommend staying here. You will love it! We plan on making it a place we regularly visit and stay.

Weekend Stay

We had a wonderful family weekend at this lake house on Shadow Lake. The location was absolutely perfect, just minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and close to all the charm of Grand Lake. Our four boys had the best time paddle boarding right off the private dock, roasting marshmallows by the water, swimming, and relaxing at the beach nearby.The house was in a great spot, peaceful and scenic while still being convenient to town. We loved walking through the shops and grabbing ice cream after a day of adventure. There are so many trails in the area for all levels, and the views are breathtaking. It was the perfect place to unplug and reconnect as a family. We would absolutely stay here again.

Magnificent Home with Remarkable Views

This is hands down one of the most glorious homes to treat yourself with in Colorado. When we walked in to the home the first time, all my (adult) children were in awe - and we have stayed in nice rental homes. The view right off of the lake is stunning, which can be enjoyed from multiple views inside, including the hot tub on the outside deck. The interior furniture has been updated with comfortable and attractive couches and chairs. The interior finishes are high end, but not so pretentious that you're walking on egg shells - rather, it's there to be appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed. The kitchen was outfitted with so many utensils, pots, pans, crockpots, even spices that we were lacking nothing when we fixed a large Christmas dinner. All that you would ever want to cook with and more is available. Heated floors in the downstairs entry were welcomed in the cold!Communication with Becca was wonderful and timely, and she had numerous helpful suggestions for local activities. This was a dream vacation come true. If you haven't been to Grand Lake, it's like a town you'd see in a Hallmark movie (in all the right ways!). It's quiet, serene, beautiful, accessible, with just enough food and shopping options to enjoy without being overwhelmed. Highly highly recommend!

Wonderful Property & Rental Experience

My family of four (plus dog) thoroughly enjoyed this property. We have stayed in a number of Grand Lake rentals, and the experience with this property was incomparable. The location is spectacular, and the view of Mount Baldy over the lake never grew old. The children never had an idle moment, and took full advantage of the wonderful dock and lake access for paddle boarding and fishing. The host was extremely responsive, the property was well maintained and thoughtfully equipped/decorated, and the entire experience was positive. We will not hesitate to book this property again.

The house is absolutely beautiful and in the best possible location lakefront with dock and close to downtown Grand Lake. We spent most days enjoying the main living areas including the large deck with the hot tub and the views. The house was perfect for two families especially if you have a lot of kids to fill up the bunks. Becca was a great host and incredibly communicative. We'll definitely be back.
