Wonderful!

Review Submitted: July 12, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Our family recently returned home from a wonderful week long stay at this cabin. Michael was so nice to work with, everything was as described, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of rental or location. The cabin was clean and we felt right a home from the moment we entered the doors. The town of Grand Lake was charming and we loved the putt putt golf on the board walk. It was great to be centrally located for hikes into the Rocky Mountain National Park and the Arapaho National Forest. We set one day aside for shopping in Estes Park, and another day for boating and fishing on both Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake. Of course no matter what we did each day, we would return home every evening and fish in the river as the sun set or maybe just watch the resident river otters at play. The roar of the river was so peaceful and the perfect way to relax at the end of each day. The weather was excellent and that combined with the perfect cabin, perfect host, and perfect location made it severly hard to want to come back to our home state of Texas.

Grand Lake Cabin

Review Submitted: October 19, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
'We spent the first week of October in this beautiful cabin in Grand Lake.When we arrived the aspen were in full glory.How georgous with the green pines and the blue lake water.We got to experience 2 beautiful snows while there and by the time we left the leaves had all droped from the aspens.One evening we were standing on top of the bluff behind the cabin when a small herd of elk came down the drive way behind the cabin and up the bluff where we were standing.How beautiful.I spent one day shopping in the village of Grand Lake while my husband fished and relaxed at the cabin after our long drive there.It was snowing that day,almost a story book setting,everyone in the village was very friendly.We had a wonderful vacation and will hopefully get to return to this wonderfull,roomy cabin.

Honeymoon

Review Submitted: October 4, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
We planned our honeymoon to split the time between Grand Lake and Estes Park. Immediately felt right at home at the cabin. We will plan to stay the entire trip in Grand Lake next time! Close to town, RMNP, wildlife viewing (even in the yard!), yet had plenty of privacy. Enjoyed grilling by the river, hopping on rocks, and enjoying the most beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Just What We Were Looking For

Tom & Pam Littleton, CO
Review Submitted: September 21, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
After countless hours of searching for the kind of place we wanted I took a chance on this one. The next time we want to get away I will start with this cabin's availability calendar and hope it is open! If it is - we will be there!

It isn't as secluded as you would expect for 8 acres, the closest neighbor is across the river within sight but not close. The road to the cabin is dirt but other than one good sized dip it is easy (and I drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse, not a Jeep!) It's a short drive from the main road to the cabin.

Getting to the cabin the first thing that strikes you is its nearness to the river. All I can say is ahhhh. The long covered deck invites you to sit and watch the river. Once inside you finnd that it is wonderfully clean, uncluttered, yet with all the appliances you could need.

As it was just the two of us we didn't need the upper bedroom, but if we take either of our adult kids with us this would be ideal. It is private, has it's own bathroom, fireplace, sitting area with books, and it shares the same long deck and river view.

We found only two negatives with this cabin, one of which could be a positive for some people, but even with these two things we would be back in a heartbeat, and it still gets 5 out of 5 because the pros so far outweigh the two cons. The main bedroom is squeaky. Its floor squeaks between the main door and the nearest side of the bed and the mattress squeaks if you sit or turn over on the bed. It was very comfortable, just noisy. There is no quietly entering or exiting the room, or turning over on the bed. The second is the quietness of the house. Being that close to the river and yet not being able to hear it inside, and with no screens on the windows to be able to leave one partially open to be able to hear the river while you sleep was sad. It was restful though.

This little cabin is a jewel of a place and we hope to return often. Loved it!! Simply loved it. Loved the river, the wood panelling which was warm and appealing, the small deep jacuzzi, the deck with chairs, the firepit right next to the river, and all the convenient comforts of this well furnished home away from home. The only true negative was that we had to leave.

Awesome Vaccation

Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My husband and I just returned home after spending a week in this beautiful cabin on the Colorado. WOW!!! Everything about the home is perfect!! We loved the views and sounds of the Colorado just out the door. We also enjoyed the company of 3 bull moose on several evenings. Grand Lake is a wonderful mountain town and only minutes down the road, but this cabin also offers all the privacy we were looking for. This home has all the bells and whistles, too. :) The cabin was super clean and I could go on and on about how nice this home really is. The walk-in tile shower is beautiful and the jetted jacuzzi tub was wonderful after a day of horse back riding. The extra room was nice so that we could both get ready at the same time. We kept imagining returning with family next visit. I felt as though I was stating in a 5 star suite with much more room. The accomodations include everything you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable time in the Rockies. This was our first trip to Colorado and we cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our stay. When we return, this is absolutely where we will be staying. You cannot go wrong renting this cabin! Perfect!!! Thank you so much for providing such a beautuful place for us to spend our vaccation this year!

Beyond my expectations

Review Submitted: June 11, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
I just stumbled across this cabin to rent and thought we'd give it a try. What a great place! I'm very picky and this place was so clean, well decorated and had everything you could want. I wish we could have stayed longer. The city of Grand Lake was delightful and a refreshing change from the other mountain tourist traps. Thanks, Jill

Perfect little cabin

Review Submitted: May 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
What a perfect getaway from the city...We just returned from 2 nights at this cabin and we're feeling rested and relaxed, just as we hoped! The cabin has everything you'll need for a great vaca. My boyfriend (a chef) had everything he needed to prepare some great gourmet meals. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the woods around the house and splashing in the river. The cabin is secluded, yet right off of the main road so you have easy access to the village of Grand Lake, only a few minutes drive! I'm disappointed to see how full the calendar is for the rest of the summer, we were hoping to sneak in another weekend escape!!

Great Spring Break Getaway

Review Submitted: March 28, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Great cabin - warm and cozy and a great location. Listening to the river and relaxing after a day out in the snow. Having a warm meal from the very clean kitchen and sitting by the window watching the fresh snow fall. It was a great place to spend Spring Break. Easy access to RMNP for winter or summer activities. We'll definitely be back.

The perfect cabin!

Ledzep Bailey, Colorado
Review Submitted: February 16, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
I have rented many homes and cabins the past 15 years in Grand Lake and this one was superior to all of them. We spent 3 nights the end of January with another couple and we were all comfortable and extremely impressed. This cabin was unbelievably clean and the attention to rustic detail was awesome. It had all the amenities one could ask for with the rustic flavor. All of us have never slept on more comfortable beds even in 5 star hotels. The river is very close to the cabin and standing on the covered deck watching it snow was magical. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING about our stay was to the 9's. We can't wait to go back. Look no further, this is the cabin in Grand Lake to rent!!!!

Great Family Retreat close to RMNP

CrossCountry Skier Parker, CO
Review Submitted: February 10, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We had a wonderful weekend at your cabin in Grand Lake. It had snowed just hours before our arrival and it was beautiful (the driveway was plowed and clear)

Best Things About your Cabin & Grand Lake:

We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the river flow.

The snow conditions for cross country skiing were Perfect at Rocky Mountain National Park (only five mile drive)

That wood burning stove really puts out lots of heat as we basked in its warmth.

The cabin and it’s amenities were very nice and clean.

The second bedroom is private and perfect for a combined family/friend house guest. (Ie. Mother in-law suite)
