About this cabin rental
Nestled into the corner of Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Lake is an ideal location for a weekend (or week long!) getaway.
This cabin is conveniently situated in downtown Grand Lake, just 300 feet from private lakefront and a two minute walk from downtown.
We are located in the community of historic Lemmon Lodge, which offers exclusive access to a private beach and dock, five wooded acres and private lake frontage, as well as access to private fishing on the North Inlet. The cabin is one block from the historic downtown “Boardwalk,” providing walkable and convenient access to all shopping and dining in Grand Lake.
We do not have a direct lake view, but walk 300 feet in either direction, and you have your choice of enjoying private beachfront at the Lemmon Lodge beach or the Grand Lake public beach. We are located next door to the Grand Lake Yacht Club and a short walk from The Wake at The Marina and Myauchi’s - our favorite places to enjoy our morning coffee and lunch or ice cream runs during the summer months.
This is a two bedroom, one bathroom cabin. It has a full kitchen, which allows for cooking any meals, as well as an outdoor picnic area. The main living area has a fireplace, and ample room to enjoy cozy nights playing board games and cards (provided!) at the cabin. There are two decks with seating and a peekaboo lake view from the master deck during the winter months, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. The master bedroom has a king bed. The second bedroom has one queen bed and one twin bed. The unit comfortably sleeps up to five guests.
The main floor of the unit is the original cabin, built in the 1940's. The top floor was later added, giving this cabin historic charm, perfectly paired with modern conveniences.
If you have children, please note that a pack n' play, baby blankets, a booster seat-style high chair are in the second bedroom closet. A wagon for trips to the beach and town are included during summer months. We also have a basket on the main floor that includes a selection of children's toys, puzzles and books.
The stairs are steep, and a baby gate is NOT installed. Our small children navigate them easily, but please consider this, if you are travelling with small children or ANYONE with a disability or trouble with stairs. Please do not stay in our cabin if steep stairs concern you.
No dogs or pets of any kind are allowed. Our youngest son is allergic to cats and dogs, so this is of particular concern to us. The HOA will assess a fine of $100-$350 per offense, per day. The offending guest will be responsible in full for the fee payment.
There are two dedicated parking spaces in front of the unit. Trailers, RV's and tenting are not allowed. The HOA will assess a fine of $100-$350 per offense, per day. The offending guest will be responsible in full for the fee payment.
Please - NO SMOKING of any kind - either inside OR outside of the cabin on the decks. A $250 deep clean fee will be assessed if the appearance of smoking inside or on the decks of the cabin is apparent (cigarette butts, ashing), or if any smoke smell in the cabin is detected by our cleaning crew or property manager. If you are a "smoker," please do not rent our cabin.
We have 1-2 kayaks with paddles and life jackets available for your use from late May through late September. They are stored behind the house and can be carried to the Lemmon Lodge beach, just a short walk from the cabin. Please do not leave the kayaks on the beach. They must be stored behind the cabin each night.
We also have a wagon for hauling beach gear (or kayaks!). Please note that the kayaks and wagon are placed in storage from late September through late May.
Boat slips at our private dock are available for rent for $50/day, based on availability. If you have a boat, the public boat launch is less than a mile from our house. You may leave your trailer and car for up to three days at the public boat launch. From the public boat launch, the Lemmon Lodge docks are just around the corner! You may rent a boat slip for the duration of your reservation, pending availability.
We have a gas grill just outside of our back kitchen door during the summer season, available for your use. We share a picnic table with Cabin 3 (the table is located between our cabins). Cabin 3 rarely uses it, but please note that it is shared space.
We fell in love with this property because it is within a two minute walk to all things needed for an ideal getaway: private beach, private dock, some of the best fishing in Colorado, spectacular hiking and snowshoeing trails, public beach and marina (where paddle boat and boat rentals are available), cafes/coffee shops, restaurants, a large public playground and more...these are all just steps from our front door! And when sitting on the front porch or in the back at the picnic table, it is nothing short of serene.
And Grand Lake isn't just for summer getaways! The town is known as the snowmobiling capital of the US. Snowmobiles are available for rent just a few blocks from the cabin, and can be driven throughout town (snow conditions permitting), as well as on hundreds of miles of trails in Rocky Mountain National Park. Grand Lake has world class ice fishing, and the nordic center is located appx. one mile from the cabin, boasting miles of trails, along with a sledding hill. Ski Granby Ranch is a 25 minute drive, and Winter Park is 45 minutes away.
Whatever the season, with the spectacular scenery and year-round activities that Grand Lake offers, there is no better place to book a vacation.

Super clean. Updated and cozy. Just a minutes walk to the entire main street. No car needed, just walk to all the restaurants, stores, bars and coffee shops. The locals are very welcoming! Gorgeous location on a lake and beautiful with the snowfall. A Hallmark movie-type setting.

We loved our stay! The location is unbeatable- close to the lake and all the restaurants/shops. Cabin was well stocked with everything you need! It’s small but cozy! My kiddos enjoyed hiking, playing on the beach, going on boat rides and fishing!

We had such a great time. The cabin is so well cared for and has everything you need. We especially loved hanging out on the front porch and playing games as a family. The location in Lemmon Lodge is our favorite of all the places we have stayed in Grand Lake. Wendy was a pleasure to work with and we will be back for sure!

This property is located in our favorite place in Grand Lake. The property was clean, well stocked and comfortable. The location cannot be better as it is walking distance to everything. We love the private beach at Lemmon Lodge and return yearly each summer. The only thing that I would change is to be able to open windows downstairs for ventilation-it gets a little toasty without AC.

A person could not ask for a more beautiful, peaceful setting for a sweet cozy cabin. It was very clean and contained everything we needed. A nice deck and second floor balcony offered more ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Although we did not use them, having kayaks available is a very nice bonus.

Wonderful time relaxing at Lemmon Lodge. While we didn't really want to leave the property, it's a short walk to restaurants, galleries & shops. This property is unique with its private beach as well as lovely lakeside grounds. We certainly hope to return!

Comfortable and homey
My mom and I have gone to Grand Lake every year since I was very young (and she’s been going since she was eight). Though it’s getting harder and harder to find an affordable place to stay in Lemmon Lodge these days, I was very grateful to find this property. Updated interior (the shower was excellent!) made this year’s stay very comfortable. Thank you!

Excellent anniversary stay!

Booked this for a quick Mother’s Day weekend getaway for myself, my wife and (2) kids and it was perfect for us. Location is walking distance to both downtown and the water. We even saw a couple moose right on the lodge property! The cabin was cozy and clean and had everything needed for our 2 night stay.
One disappointing thing (especially for the kids) was that the map location in the listing has property showing right near the water so we were expecting the cabin to be lakeside and that is not the case. Short walk (2 min) and you are there. May just need to update pin to accurate location of cabin.
Overall, we had a good weekend in Grand Lake and a pleasant experience staying here. We would definitely stay again…thank you!

Great location close to the lake and walking distance to town. A few issues that need attention - 1) oven/stove needs to be leveled, it tilts forward potentially allowing pots/pans to slide off the smooth surface, 2) kitchen and especially oven are dirty, 3) exposed electrical outlet in living room is dangerous, 4) window covering over main picture window broken so you can’t enjoy the view. Expensive given these issues and overall uncleanliness.

I've always loved looking at the historic cabins at Lemmon Lodge, so I jumped at the chance to stay there. This cozy cabin is well stocked, clean, and charming. The location can't be beat, and we walked to the Grand Lake shops and restaurants. The private beach access was such a treat, and we watched the sunset from there. We'll be back!

This little cabin was perfect for our family we have teenagers and an infant and this cabin met all of our needs. We spent most of our time at the lake catching fish and kayaking. It was also nice that the little town was so close, our teenagers were able to walk around. Great time!

Cozy rustic cabin in amazing location
We loved our stay here. It is in an amazing location with a private beach. We loved the fireplace and played the board games at the cabin when we weren't out hiking or exploring. The king size bed is super comfortable!

Perfect lake cabin
Perfect lake cabin less than 30 second walk to the lake front and an inlet into the lake. Also perfectly located close to all of the Grand Lake restaurants and shops. The cabin was stocked very well, very clean, and we had great communication with the owner! Make sure to take advantage of the kayaks for a great view on the water.

Excellent location and very clean. The owners made the best of a small space.
We loved our time at Lemon Lodge and Grand Lake. #2 was ideal for a family of 5. We could have used another pot/pan but survived without. We loved that there were plenty of towels and blankets.

We can't wait to return!
This was our very first experience with VRBO and it was amazing!
The Lemmon Lodge property was even more than we could have asked for. The Gouldings have a great cabin that is furnished with everything a group would need for a nice vacation.
Our sons were able to fish at anytime and they could safely walk there alone, if necessary. Lemon Lodge is like a little neighborhood. We had fires at night while the kids fished and made new friends with other visitors. We used the kayaks provided and rented a boat from the marina just a minute walk from the cabin.
We walked a short distance to eat meals and had ice cream every night. The weather was beautiful. One evening there were fireworks on the lake. What a fun experience.
Wendy was an amazing host and answered all of my questions at lightening speed. Our family cannot wait to return to Grand Lake! Thank you for the hospitality!

Best rental in Grand Lake
This was a perfect rental. Walking distance to all restaurants and shops downtown. Walk to the lake where you can play horse shoes or sit by community fire pit. The cabin was very well furnished and clean. We had family of 5 with 3 teenagers. Master bedroom balcony was great for sitting out at night. There were great trails to hike a short distance. Transaction was very smooth. If I return to Grand Lake I would rent this cabin again.

Great family cabin
We took a quick trip to Grand Lake for the weekend before our 2nd child was born and had the pleasure of staying at this Lemmon Lodge cabin. The location was great: we were steps from 2 beaches (both the private beach for Lemmon Lodge and public beach) and steps from the shops and restaurants in town. We did not get in the car after our arrival in Grand Lake, and it was even super easy to run "home" if we forgot something. For those unfamiliar with the town, it is very close to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park, and my husband did a bike ride from the cabin into the park. Very charming little cabin and extremely convenient for the family. Only downside is a fair amount of foot traffic/noise being on the "convenient" end of the Lodge.

Great property & location
We had a great time over the 4th of July.... Property was ideal for our needs. Owner was very responsive and fixed minor issue with wi-fi.
