About this house rental
The spectacular 180-degree panoramic view of Shadow Mountain Lake and the Rocky Mountains is what separates this vacation home from many other rental properties in the Grand Lake area.
NOTE: Kitchen remodeled in Feb-Mar 2022 (new cabinets, quartz countertops and new appliances). New shower doors in all 3 bathrooms in January 2021. House re-stained in Spring 2020. Upper deck was replaced with composite decking in Fall 2019! Recycled asphalt driveway in Spring 2018. New great room windows installed in Spring 2017 and Spring 2021! Based on previous reviews, we purchased windows that can be opened in the great room to allow the cool refreshing lake breeze to flow through the house. No air-conditioning, but there is a manual evaporative cooler and fans are provided in every bedroom.
Enjoy the beauty and majesty of Grand Lake and the Rocky Mountains from this three-story, 4-bedroom, 3-bath home overlooking Shadow Mountain Lake and the Rocky Mountain National Park. The wall of windows in the large great room, as well as the two huge wrap-around decks, provide magnificent views of the lake and mountains. The bedrooms are located on three separate floors, which provides privacy for multiple family gatherings, and you can see the lake from each bedroom.
In Summer, maximize your time outdoors on the decks, which both overlook Shadow Mountain Lake. You can sunbathe or cook dinner on the propane grill on the upper deck, or spend a lazy afternoon lounging in a hammock on the lower deck while watching the boats glide by on the lake. In Winter, you can enjoy a crackling fire in the wood-burning fireplace while watching a movie or playing games on the checker-board table.
We are located just five minutes from the town of Grand Lake and the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Grand Lake provides a classic 'old west' town ambiance and fun for the whole family. In Grand Lake, you can enjoy the shops, restaurants, beach, boat rentals, hiking trails, guided and unguided snowmobile and ATV rentals, and more. In summer, the park offers a wide variety of hiking trails and several have waterfalls. You can visit Trail Ridge Marina (Shadow Mt. Lake), which is located just 100 yards down the road. The marina offers pontoon and sport-boat rentals, and from this marina you are allowed to take the boats into adjoining Grand Lake. A golf course is located nearby, only about 5 minutes by car. In winter, the golf course is turned into a Nordic center that offers groomed trails for cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing through the woods, as well as free tubing. In addition to There are 300 miles of spectacular snowmobiling trails in Grand Lake, including 150 miles of groomed trails. And Winter Park Ski Area is located about 40 minutes away. In addition to Grand Lake being the ultimate spot for a summer vacation, it is also the perfect getaway to accommodate all your winter sport activities. Book early as this is a year-round vacation home with a very strong rental history and repeat renters.
Rocky Mountain National Park is home to an abundant wildlife population including elk, deer, moose, bear, raccoons and foxes and many of these pass through the property regularly. Miles of hiking and snowshoeing trails are accessible from the park.

An excellent place to stay! The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen of any rental I’ve stayed. Deck and view of the lake was amazing I would highly recommend it for a family gathering.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. We spent a lot of time on the large deck and our extended family was comfortable with the multiple beds that allowed everyone to have their own space. The kitchen was well equipped and the owner promptly responded to any questions we had during our stay. Would highly recommend.

This beautiful house overlooking Shadow Mountain exceeded our expectations. The owners have gone above and beyond to stock the kitchen with everything you would need for meals. In addition, the linens were quality and the bedrooms were nicely appointed in cabin/mountain decor.
The space was awesome and felt very cozy! We will definitely return!

This is the kind of house the makes you go “wowww” when you first walk in the door. View is spectacular!
The house was amazing. Set up perfectly with everything you could think of and more. Randy and Karen were super communicable and were always just an email away. Check out the Trail Ridge Marina across the street for dog-friendly boat rentals and real good times.
The fam and the pups had an absolute blast and are already talking/barking about the next trip to Shadow Mountain Lake. Thanks for a great time!

House for Celebrating
As a family we were celebrating 3 birthdays and a big wedding anniversary. We wanted lots of space and views to stay home for and we got it all. The kitchen was very well equipped to even include a crock pot and waffle maker! The beds and linens were exceptional and the best we have experienced in rental properties. Easy short drive into Grand Lake but really enjoyed the house and the views from the very large decks, with hummingbirds a bonus. We found the home better than advertised.

Beautiful House & Views
This was a perfect place to stay for our extended family gathering. The house has a great main living area for everyone to gather with 2-story windows and amazing views of the lake. The bedrooms are comfortable and have plenty of space, and the kitchen is well-appointed. It's also a very convenient location...close to town, hiking, and RMNP. I would highly recommend this property to others!

Amazing Property and an amazing owner
The property was clean and just as depicted! The owners went out of their way to make sure we had room to park as there were 4 pickups and trailers! The home is spacious and welcoming there were 11 in our group and we had plenty of room and beds! Was a great home and owner would highly recommend!!

Wonderful Home even better hosts
We went up over Presidents weekend and truly enjoyed our stay. The view out the windows is really amazing and the house is by far the most well stocked house for kitchen items, towels, linens, pillows, blankets etc. any of us had ever stayed at and I'm guessing we've stayed at close to 30 VRBO's between the two families. We had 9 people and had plenty of space for sleeping, eating and relaxing. The hosts communication was wonderful and truly a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be back at some point in the future.

Wonderful vacation home with a stunning view of the lake
We want to extend our gratitude to Karen and Randy for being such wonderful hosts. The house was just perfect for our family getaway. It is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, which after receiving a foot of snow overnight, gave us a perfect venue for snowshoeing. And the views from the house were absolutely stunning. The home was very well equipped - the kitchen had everything you could ever need to prepare your favorite vacation feast. Karen was so thoughtful in her communications, providing excellent recommendations for things to do nearby, and even checking in to make sure we were ok during and after the big snow storm. We were sad to leave, and are now looking forward to returning in the summertime. Many thanks to Karen and Randy for giving us such a memorable and much needed vacation!

Just an outstanding experience in Grand Lake!!
I cannot say enough about Karen who is the property owner of this fantastic, beautiful A-Frame home overlooking Shadow Mountain Lake. Karen may have Advanced Customer Service training from the Four Seasons / Disney because she was a spectacular host and so kind and thoughtful. It was an amazing Winter experience in Grand Lake with Karen and her property exceeding our expectations. I wish I could provide a 7-star rating because that is how great this experience was for my wife, kids, and me. Happy 2021 Karen & Randy! Cheers, Stewart

Beautiful cabin
My family and I loved this cabin and the views! Cabin was very clean, had everything you needed. The beds were comfortable, home was spacious. Would definitely stay here again if we go back to the area. If you are headed there in the winter I definitely recommend going tubing at the Fraser tubing place (the Coca Cola one wasn’t as steep or nearly as fun), go snow mobiling!! There’s a few places in the area. We didn’t see any moose, my only complaint lol. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!!

A wonderful place to spend time with loved ones!
From our initial booking to questions after checkout, Karen and Randy were sooo helpful! The house is beautiful with amazing views of the lake and mountains. The house was immaculately clean upon arrival and there were supplies available to maintain it that way during our week long stay over the holidays. We were all sooo grateful that the owners had decorated the house for Christmas. They basically thought of everything....from having the kitchen stocked, to providing extra blankets and firewood. There was plenty of room for my family of nine to gather together to watch movies and play games in the great room. The house’s mountains decor was charming and cozy. I highly recommend this rental home. Thanks Karen and Randy for making our vacation memorable!

Great Value on Grand Lake
We packed in 11 members of our family and the dog into this property right on Shadow Mountain Lake. Comfortable with a million-dollar view.
Hosts were easy to communicate with and the home had all the basics you need to get started on a long-weekend away from the city.
This home is close to everything!
Be mindful it is right on a road, if a little noise bothers you. Also the main deck is pretty beat up, but it is in the process of being rebuilt so that seems like a short-term problem.
Compared to some of the other lake-front properties that allow dogs (a must for us), this home came in at a reasonable price and hit all our needs. Not perfect, but with a view like this, you don't really need perfect.
