Lakefront Home - Dramatic views from upper and lower decks

We invite you to enjoy our beautiful mountain home for a relaxing vacation in the winter or summer in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. With wifi and cable TV you can stay in touch with the world while enjoying the seclusion of this nature lovers paradise. Our home's incredible views take your breath away every morning when you wake up and look across the sparkling water. Sit and watch nature's activity on the lake for hours on end. The islands in the lake provide a back drop for a dramatic nature show where Osprey nest and white pelicans perch. Deer, Elk and Moose are often spotted from the deck. Shadow Mountain rises up out of the water on the far shore giving this beautiful mountain lake its name, 'Shadow Mountain Lake.'

In the winter, you can snowshoe, ice skate or snowmobile on the frozen lake right out the back door. Spend hours of fun snowmobiling through town or on the 100+ miles of trails around the Grand Lake area. Grand Lake Village is the snow mobile capital of Colorado! Only 20 minutes from the Granby Ranch skiing area and 40 minutes from the world famous (and local's favorite) Winter Park and Mary Jane ski areas, this is a beautiful and quiet winter getaway.

Our home is located where the headwaters of the Colorado River enter the lake, creating an estuary-like waterfront on your doorstep. In the lake there is fishing for trout and Kokanee Salmon. This lake is connected at its other end to Grand Lake via a navigable waterway and visits to Grand Lake Village are a must, whether by boat or by automobile. This quaint mountain town has a special charm, choosing covered boardwalks rather than cement sidewalks. Fun mountain town activities like Saturday night bingo in the park, browsing curio shops, playing miniature golf or experiencing the yummy candy and ice cream stores. You can also enjoy the authentic mountain night life by taking in a play at the live theater, bowling, or drinking and dancing in the rustic saloons and many different restaurants.

Right out the door from the lower level of the house you can use our complimentary canoe and paddle on the lake around the islands for sight seeing and fishing. We really love our mountain home and we would like to share it with you. It is a place that you will never forget.

Lovely Lake Home

We (my husband, daughter and her bestie and me) spent the long 4th of July weekend and this lovely lake home. We felt very comfortable, the house had everything we needed including tranquil views of the lake. We enjoyed the fireworks display from the top deck, hiking, kayaking on the lake, listening to the birds every morning and seeing the massive pelican flock on the lake just beyond the deck. It was the perfect house for relaxing, watching movies, and drinking in the beautiful scenery. It’s a quick drive to RMNP for hikes and downtown Grand Lake if you want to visit shops and restaurants. I have a feeling we will be back, we really loved the house.

Another great stay at Grand Lake

This was our fourth visit and wonderful as always. Every year we have some traditions but also new experiences. When the lake water was high we kayaked as much as we could, and as the water lowered we enjoyed the increase in wildlife. We saw a number of moose and had one walk right in front of the home, amazing! The decks are our favorite hangout spots, with morning coffee and relaxing evenings. The bird watching is so much fun. The home has everything we needed and we loved the new kitchen appliances and countertops.

Lake Life!

We loved our stay at the lake. The house had about everything you might need to enjoy the lake. We used the canoes and kayaks every day that was a huge bonus to the property. The sounds of the water and bird watching were very peaceful. Hope to return one day!

This is such a gem

Almost don't want to let the secret out. But this place is located just out of town and so it's quiet and calm and you can kayak right off the back deck. But you're close enough you can zip over into all the things in town you like.

My happy place…

Brent and Lori, thank you for sharing your beautiful home. This was our third trip and it really is amazing. We slowed down a bit this year, watching birds, spending more time on the water, and playing dominoes. The hummingbirds, geese, pelicans, ducks, etc are so much fun to watch. We saw a heron twice while kayaking and so many geese and duck babies. The house was comfortable and great as always, with everything we needed. We love the new cushions on the top deck and the new chairs! We hope to return next summer!

Winter Adventure to Grand Lake

My wife & I stayed at this property for 12 days while snowshoeing in & around Rocky Mtn NP. It was the perfect basecamp for our winter adventure. Great view across the frozen lake to the snowy mountains. Comfortable bed. Gas fireplace quickly warmed up the living room. The kitchen, while basic, had everything we needed to prepare meals. Quiet location (at least in the winter), but only 5 minutes from town & RMNP west entrance. Easy access to the highway for winter driving. Overall, a great stay!

Lakeview getaway

The house and area were perfect for our family. With kayaks and canoes right on the water we could go out on the water any time we wanted. With two levels the kids could play downstairs while the adults were upstairs enjoying the view of the lake and mountains.

We had a wonderful time in this fully equipped home on Shadow Mountain Lake. We kayak the “islands” every morning, and used the properties canoe, too. Comfortable rooms to visit with family on both levels. Beautiful scenery from both decks. Beds were very comfortable.

Great Getaway

We had an amazing stay. The home was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the amazing views of the mountains, lake, and birds from the living room and deck. The sandbars in the lake in front of the home were a great place for kids to play. Our favorite activity was exploring the islands with the canoes and kayaks. What a great place to get away from it all!

Just as great as the first time we stayed!

I’ve never stayed in the same rental more than once, until now. Our second trip, early June, was just as great as our trip last summer. The home is beautiful and the views are outstanding. We grilled out, did a couple hikes, saw a band in Winter Park, shopped in Grand Lake, relaxed on the deck, played games, and kayaked. The house is very comfortable for 6 adults. The hummingbird feeders were new to us this year. (Are they only used certain months?) We fell in love with watching these beautiful birds. The kitchen is stocked with sugar to make more nectar. Our second evening we were treated to a moose crossing the lake. Amazing! We can’t wait to stay here again next summer!

If you only read one review, let it be this one!

Myself, my wife, her sister and husband, along with each of our 6 month old babies stayed here! We had one of the best week’s of our lives! First of all, this home meets every single desirable element of a vacation rental. It’s very clean and neat. The furniture is all extremely cozy, and nice! There is plenty of room for plenty of people, and even the upper/lower living rooms was a great touch to give us time apart! The fireplaces both upstairs and down are soooo warm and relaxing. We had them on every evening. The view is stunning, and pictures don’t do it justice at all. 180 degrees of mountains. It’s an extremely peaceful street, and we never saw another car there. It’s close to everything. 5 minutes from Main Street grand lake, 10 minutes (if that) from the Rocky Mountain NP entrance. Absolutely perfect location. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking big meals, even the smaller things like spices that we forgot! The view on the porch is facing East. So each day you get an incredible sunrise and an even more incredible sunset most evenings. Plus there’s loads of wildlife on the water, we saw all kinds of birds and watched Eagles dropping down into the water! Even the beds and bedding were insanely comfortable. We will 100% stay here again, and I’m so glad we ended up here and not any of the others we looked at! I guarantee you won’t regret staying here. My wife and I are big on reviews, so I hope to help give you the peace that this place is seriously 11/10!
