Welcome to the Grand Lake Gem, by Mountain Vacation Lodging. This cute, cozy cabin is truly a gem. Found just 2 blocks from the center of downtown, and only 3 blocks from the lake, the location could not be much better! Even though you will be very close to downtown shops and restaurants, when you're relaxing inside or outside this home, you will feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The home is surrounded by aspen trees in a quieter part of downtown. There is no need to fight traffic or search for parking. You'll have two parking spaces at the home, and from this home you can easily walk anywhere, including to the shores of Grand Lake itself. Also, this cabin is not some dated "rustic" cabin, like so many of other the lodging options found in the Grand Lake area. Instead, this is an updated and stylish cabin with modern finishes, furniture, appliances and fixtures. The living and dining room combine to offer a nicely sized space for smaller groups to gather after a long day full of adventure. The kitchen has beautiful granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a white farmhouse sink, and is fully equipped for those mornings or nights when you don't want to eat out. The bathroom matches the kitchen in quality, with its new tile, pedestal sink, and a lovely claw foot tub. The front porch is a nice place to relax with a coffee, and the front yard is large enough for ladder-ball or other games. Out back, there is a larger deck that accommodates an outdoor dining set and gas BBQ grill. Just off the back deck is a nice fire pit that is surrounded by boulders, seating, and aspen trees. Make sure to bring your marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate! Couples or young families will love this little retreat in the heart of Grand Lake.

Some amenities, when part of a property, may close daily, seasonally, or for maintenance. As such, all amenities can not be guaranteed to be available at all times. Please advise us when or before booking if you have questions about a specific property amenity so that we can give you the most accurate information possible for your dates. ** Please note that the large wood stove visible in some photos is currently unusable. However, portable heaters are provided to keep winter guests toasty and warm. ** Air Conditioning - Most mountain resort properties were not built with air conditioning. During most hours of the day and weeks of the year, AC is not needed. Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos. ** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required. ** Video & Noise Monitoring - Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns. ** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended. For guests who are booking a lengthy stay of more than one week, a mid stay-cleaning fee equal to the final cleaning fee may apply for the second week, third week, and so on. If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc. ​​​​​​​Grand Lake License 000808
