About this house rental
We are one mile from the entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park! Our home is on Grand Ave., directly in the heart of Grand Lake. Within walking distance to downtown Grand Lake. Stunning views of the lake and mountains that sit directly across from our deck. It's so beautiful you may not want to leave the house! Five private bedrooms and three bathrooms. Kids love to sleep in the loft area! We host lots of family reunions with 15+ people and had plenty of room. The deck is our favorite spot to grill out and enjoy the views! It is a stunning drive from Denver to Grand Lake. The Grand Lake Nordic Center offers cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, and they are extremely affordable. There are some great restaurants in downtown Grand Lake. Lots of quaint gift shops and artisan shops, museums, and plenty of culture. Hiking is at it's best at Grand Lake. You can hike many trail heads and the Grand Lake Chamber of Commerce offers free maps of the trails in the area. Adams Falls is a short hike from downtown but leads to a gorgeous waterfall. We took a nine-mile hike this summer to LuLu City and saw some awesome scenery and amazing wildlife. You won't want to forget your camera! The Lakes in Grand Lake include Grand Lake (the largest Natural Lake in Colorado), Shadow Mountain Lake, and Lake Granby. We have rented paddleboats on Grand Lake and they were so much fun! They also have an annual sailing competition in August. In the winter months you can ice fish and they have several tournaments in Grand County. The Grand Lake library is amazing! It is a huge log library with a beautiful fireplace to sit and read by. There are at least six computers that offer free internet access. They also offer free movie rentals and CD rentals. My family and I have spent many hours there since we bought this property years ago. If you are looking for an amazing place to relax and unwind this is it! We are only 45 miles via Trail Ridge to Estes Park and it is an amazing, breathtaking, drive! Estes Park is a beautiful town with tons of gift shops and a great downtown area to shop in. We enjoy visiting Estes but love returning to the quieter side of Grand Lake. The Rocky Mountain Rep. Theatre is world-renowed for the talent that they recruit. In 2011 they moved into their new $10 million dollar facility in downtown Grand Lake. It is stunning and the acoustics are amazing! Our entire family went to watch a performance there and had a great time! Whether you want to relax and hang out, hike and see wildlife, shop and eat out, fish or hunt, ski or play golf, Grand Lake truly is an amazing place & somewhere you will want to come back to time and time again. The house is fully equipped and all you need to bring are your clothes. The rest is ready for you to enjoy.

The large log-cabin style home is situated far above Grand Lake and has some lovely views. It is set up conveniently for a family or group, and the kitchen is well-stocked with appliances. The living room has soft leather furniture which encouraged some long evenings of conversation. The rooms are as advertised and fully functional. Janet McNece was quick to answer our questions and attend to our needs. It's a nice place to stay.

We stayed here for a family reunion and had an amazing time. The home was clean and well stocked! So much that we really overpacked with being 9 hours away. The house has so many unlisted amenities. We didn't know about bed options when booking. The loft has 2 queen beds, the main level has a king bed with private bathroom and 2nd room with a queen next to the halfway bathroom. The basement has a queen in one room and an additional bedroom with a queen bed and full over full bunks! This gave us so much more room to spread out. There was also an additional twin mattress in the basement bedroom closet We packed a folding table and chairs for more seating, but found a set in the main level bedroom closet. Mine took up a lot of space in my car so that info would be helpful for anyone planning to come.
There is a market right down the hill, and there is a path to walk down. The neighbor was extremely kind and helpful and told us all the good fishing spots. The kitchen also has a crockpot for anyone not wanting to haul one along. Bring ice, or plan on grabbing some daily as the fridge can't keep up, reasonably so with so many people using it. The town is beautiful and there is so much to do! We highly recommend this property and can't wait to book again next year.

This house provided our group of 12, a mix of friends and family, the perfect location and space to enjoy the 4th of July in Grand Lake. The bedrooms were on 3 levels which allowed us to divide up groups. The large deck offered a great place to come together for drinks and dinner. It also has a great view of the fireworks. communication with owner was fast and accomodating.

Close to downtown and easy access. Lots of stairs which was difficult for our 86 year old mother but she managed well.
5.0 / 5.0
The view from the deck was spectacular. The open kitchen/dining room/living room allowed us all to be together when we prepared and ate our meals. We inadvertently turned off our wifi, and the host was quick and gracious in helping us restart it. We had ample space to park 4-5 vehicles.
The listing included a picture of a fire pit, but the fire pit must have been removed. This did not detract from our stay at all.
We appreciated the reasonable cleanup expectations at departure. We were told to enjoy our stay, and we did! We would stay there again if we return to Grand Lake.

What a wonderful place for a family vacation. 12 family members ranging in age from 6 to 75 had a very enjoyable time in Grand Lake. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, great view, walking distance to town, nice amenities, we couldn't have asked for anything more!

This home is perfectly situated close to many activities! It has a beautiful Mountain View but still easily accessible. It’s close to a market with most everything you need, a cute shopping area, lakes, skiing… we even stopped at a local hot spring for a day! Highly recommend this house!

Stayed here over Christmas with a big group. Plenty of room for everyone. Loved that they had two pack and play’s available and that there was a Christmas tree up. It was a beautiful spot. The only problem we had was the heat. Some spots in the house were really, really cold ( loft and basement) and some were uncomfortably hot. ( master and living room.) Was a great stay!

Had a great Thanksgiving stay - House was as advertised, easy walk to town, although a bit too far for our 80+yo family member. But an easy drive back and forth as well. Plenty of room for all 9 of us, and Janet was very helpful with the one minor issue we had. Would stay here again.

This home exceeded our expectations in so many ways! We had 15 people (10 adults and 5 children) in our group and had plenty of space and areas for privacy for those that had to get work done or children that had to nap. The view and location are amazing!
We spent a 3 day weekend playing games, boating, walking to town and hiking, and just hanging out together. This was a perfect space. There are folding chairs that can be moved to the big table and seating outside as well as at an island so we could all be somewhat together that way while eating.
The kitchen is pretty well stocked although since we ate most meals there and were a huge group, we could have used larger pans and cookie sheets and things like whisk, more wine glasses, etc, but for the most part it was great! There were spices, coffee filters, and even Keurig cups available!
All beds were super comfortable and even upstairs loft room was very quiet with people downstairs. There was an extra mattress available for the room with bunks that I don’t think was listed. It fit on the floor and was perfect for the teenage brother to sleep on and not with a sibling- ha! There are sample shampoos and body washes enough for everyone and plenty of towels.
The host was incredibly easy to get in touch with and the check in was totally smooth.
We loved our stay and would definitely come back! Highly recommend!

Well laid out home with plenty of space! Nice sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. The home had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The large deck was super inviting for outdoor eating and hanging out - very nice views of Grand Lake! Oh - and the PAC Man game was an unexpected bonus for the kids. Very fun. We had a wonderful stay and our host was very accommodating to a couple special requests. She was very nice and was prompt with replying to any questions we had.
The only thing I would say is that, although one can walk downtown from this location, it’s not a short walk…. But it’s a quick drive! I’d stay here again if visiting Grand Lake or Rocky Mountain National Park!

Perfect for our large group!
This place is wonderful. We had 5 adults and 6 kids (ages 2 - 11). This place fit us all COMFORTABLY. The deck is spacious and has a beautiful view of the lake, the adults ate meals out there while the kids ate inside. The house was equipped with everything we needed - playpen, highchair, baby gate, washing/drying machines, coffee makers, cooking utensils, basic spices, dishes and towels enough for our clan, and much more. Janet was extremely responsive to all of our questions and helped QUICKLY when we had discovered we had forgotten something. I really can't say enough great things about this home and its owner, five stars doesn't even begin to describe it! We will definitely be returning.
Thank you so much Janet!!

Beautiful view and spacious house
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was in the perfect location with the best view. We had a large group and there was a lot of room to spread out. The host was very responsive to several questions we had- and she was very helpful! Our only complaint is that the bed frame in the loft was bent so the mattress dipped in the middle- we had to move it to the floor for someone to be able to sleep on it. But we made do. Overall, it was a great time!

Lovely home, surroundings and town!
Spacious home in beautiful Grand Lake Colorado! Views from deck are breathtaking. Needed a good cleaning… lots of cobwebs and greasy cabinetry above stove. Despite those condition, would love to return in the summertime!

First official Williams family vacation!
We are a big family from Texas and wanted to show our kids and grandkids what a winter wonderland looked like in person. Grand Lake and this beautiful cabin was the perfect way to do this.
Before arriving I had several questions for Janet ( the owner) and she was very prompt and helpful. Usually getting back with me within a few minutes via email.
Upon arriving at the cabin you get your first look at this amazing home. So quaint and homey and perfect. It is so fun to pull up to place you’ve never been and explore… so we did! We had 8 adults and 6 children ranging from 7-14. The location is so convenient. We are a 5 minute walk from the store, the post office, several restaurants and more. Even in 14degree weather we geared up and took walks into town.
There is an awesome hill that we sled down everyday that runs right beside the cabin. So fun! The house is well furnished and we absolutely made the best memories and plan on coming back next year.! Oh! We also have the best neighbors during our stay. Thank you so much

Christmas Cabin
My family, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews all stayed at this house as a Christmas get away! The house is in a great location to town! The house has plenty of bedrooms and beds to accommodate large groups. But beware of the big bill when you are getting to the cabin as it is very steep and if you don’t have good tires you won’t get up! But the mountain market will let you park there if needed!

Gorgeous beautiful stunning cozy home
This cabin was just as it is described but better ! We had a wonderful time being our first time in Colorado. The home was big enough for everyone and kids had a great time playing hide and seek and sleeping in different rooms ! Hopefully we will be back next year !

Grand lake stay
This house was exactly what we were looking for. The view was spectacular. The house is also a quick walk to the main strip of grand lake. Like 5 minutes. The accommodations were great. The large deck made it nice to hang out outside with the group. Plenty of cozy rooms and beds as well. The host was also very communicative and helpful. The checkout process was super easy. Thank you for sharing your house with us!

Great for a Family vacation
Good place to stay with a large group. There is a loft room with several beds (no bathroom). The main floor has two bedrooms each with one bed and two bathrooms (including the one in the master bedroom). Lastly the basement has a bathroom and two rooms that have several beds. The three different levels meant everyone felt like they had plenty of space. There is more patio furniture than the picture shows which was really appreciated. Only negative feedback is the towels for the bathroom are small and the cleanliness of the cabin was good but not great.
But overall great place! We would love to stay again.

Beautiful views, beautiful space, priceless memories
We had 14 people stay here for a small Rocky Mountain wedding, and this home was more than accommodating for all of us. It was bigger than I’d expected. Everyone had a bed (6 couples, 2 singles). The home is insulated well and very quiet from room to room (stayed in a different VRBO earlier this year where you could hear EVERYTHING around the house). We had a car issue and weren’t able to move our car the day of check out, but Janet was very understanding about the situation. Highly recommend this spot!

Beautiful house!
Loved staying at this house! The location was excellent! The house was very clean and comfortable. The view from the deck was outstanding! The neighbor across the street was was very friendly and helpful with suggestions about places to eat. We loved walking (about half mile) to the downtown area to the shops and lakefront. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would definitely book this house next time we go to Grand Lake.
