About Ali McDowell
We were recently introduced to the Grand Lake area and fell in love with it. So we decided to pursue the dream of owning our own cabin and making it available for others to rent. We are an extended family ownership from the Northern Colorado area. The peaceful, serene location of this cabin is what we have fallen in love with.
Ali McDowell purchased this cabin in 2013
Why Ali McDowell chose Rocky Mountain National Park
-There are many reasons we have chosen this area of Colorado to rent out and vacation. Right from our 'front door and cabin' we have spectacular views of the Never Summer Mountain Range. A 20 acre non-motorized lake located 20 yards from our porch in which you can fish, paddle boat or canoe from . An entrance to 250 miles of extended trails for 4 wheeling, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, mountain biking located only a couple miles down the road. The Grand Lake town is only a 5 minute drive and offers great dining and wonderful Grand Lake Views. Everything offered just right from the front door.

Fantastic cabin and setting. Lots of wildlife and beautiful views!
We had a wonderful stay here! Great for adults and kids alike. Beautiful remodel in a breathtaking setting. Lots of moose and elk sitings, great for hiking and canoeing. Close to downtown Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park. Will absolutely return! Highly recommended!!
Beautiful, cozy cabin overlooking a pretty lake with mountains all around!! Wonderful stay!!
My husband and I, along with our son and his wife, enjoyed this cabin for the week!! We had plenty of room and spread out accordingly!! We just had a wonderful and relaxing week and were not ready to leave!! We hiked around the neighborhood and RMNP!! We saw all kinds of animals-- elk, moose, fox, turkeys, deer, and coyote!! The alpaca in the field were so cute and funny!! We come to Grand Lake once a year and this was our first stay at this cabin!! We definitely will come back to this wonderful place!! So calm, quiet, and peaceful!! Thank you for your lovely cabin!!
Great accommodations, beautiful setting, serene surroundings.
Great cabin, warm, cozy and very clean. Serene setting with plenty of space for our family of eight. The Sun Valley location was perfect for hiking, fishing, canoeing, and access to RMNP. Day trip to Estes Park and Winter Park was easy. A spacious deck with amazing views of the Rockies. We look forward to returning!
Excellent
Great stay. Beautiful and convenient location. Lots of moose sightings. The cabin is top notch and well appointed.
Excellent place to stay!
This cabin has everything you could want and more! The cabin is very well equipped, clean and comfortable! The location is beautiful and close to many activities. We had a wonderful week and enjoyed watching the moose, elk, pelicans, hummingbirds, ducklings, etc. right from the deck. There are many hikes for varying abilities available very close by. The waterfalls this time of year from the snow melt were beautiful. The cabin is also within easy walking distance of the Colorado River. The lake is a perfect size for enjoying a leisurely canoe or paddle boat ride. We enjoyed nice dinners at the Grand Lake Lodge (beautiful lake views from the porch) and Mustachios on the Lake (heading towards Granby). The breakfast buffet on the weekends at Fat Cat is wonderful too! The owners are great to work with and we would definitely return to this cabin. Highly recommend this place!
excellent stay
We stayed at Sun Valley Lake May29-June3. There were 7 adults and 3 children. ages ranged from 10 months to 69 years old. The cabin itself is clean. the Linens are very nice. The beds were overall pretty comfortable. The location was beautiful. Only steps away from the water. It is located on a private lake and you do not need a fishing license to fish. Unfortunately, we did not have any bites or catch any fish the days we were there. They also had bikes, paddle boat, canoe (although there was a small leak so we came back quickly), outdoor and indoor games. There is cable and internet available, although we were going more for the nature. It was very convenient to stables for horseback riding. The entrance to RMNP was very close as well. We were able to walk to the Colorado river and were at the being of some trails. We saw plenty of Moose, Elk and Deer. Overall, I would definitely recommend this cabin. We are hoping to come back next year! The owner is very easy to work with as well. We are hoping to come back and visit soon!
