Views of Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Lake and RMNP!

Come enjoy the extraordinary beauty and warm friendliness of Grand Lake, Colorado with its abundance of Summer and Winter activities! Built in 2006, this well-appointed 2000+ sq ft home is centrally located. It is just above the very charming Grand Lake Town with its old west buildings, boarded sidewalks and friendly residents. It is adjacent to the historic Grand Lake Lodge property, which provides for a peaceful mountain retreat and open space behind the home.

From the gorgeous great room with hand-built, river rock fireplace, or spacious deck, savor the beauty of majestic Mount Baldy and sparkling views of Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake! Take in the starry sky on a warm summer night while relaxing on the deck. Watch the best fireworks in the Rocky Mountains from the deck on the 4th of July or New Year’s Eve. In the winter when road snow pack allows, hop on your snowmobile right outside the door and ride into town or hook up with a trail into Rocky Mountain National Park. There are so many things to do and memories to make in Colorado’s best-kept secret!

Grand Lake Village and Grand Lake are within easy walking distance at less than one half mile away. Shadow Mountain Lake is less than one mile away. You’ll have easy access to over 100 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, enjoy the lakes, shop, and eat in town. Lake Granby is just a few miles down the road.

The West entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is 2 miles away. There you may encounter moose, big horn sheep, or elk herds. Hike to lakes, climb peaks, or simply enjoy the views. Incredible Colorado skiing is nearby with Ski Grandby Ranch only twenty minutes away; Colorado’s playground - Winter Park Ski Resort and Mary Jane only forty minutes away; and Steamboat Ski Resort, with its legendary champagne powder is a little over an hour away!

Note: VRBO groups search results for Estes Park and Grand Lake together. This home is in Grand Lake on the West side of RMNP. Estes Park is at the East entrance of RMNP, about 50miles from Grand Lake via the famous Trail Ridge Road through the National Park. When the road is open (typically Memorial Day to Labor Day, or into October if weather allows), the drive will take about 2.5 hrs with stops for sight seeing and Park traffic. In winter, the drive between Estes Park and Grand Lake is about 150 miles and 3+ hrs as you must drive alternate (but faster) roads into the mountains (I-70 out of Denver, to Hwy 40 over Berthoud Pass to Grand County/Winter Park, to Hwy 34 and Grand Lake)

Notice: Home is monitored by a security camera that views the driveway and weather over Shadow Mountain Lake.

Communication with the host was excellent. House was well stocked with things to do, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes. There were plenty of towels. The jacuzzi was great to have, and the decks were nice with great views. These were my issues with the property. The house was not clean. There were dishes that were dirty and put back in the cabinets, especially the pans. They had caked on grease. The bathrooms had mold in the showers. The carpets were so dirty. The trashcan was on the carpet and there were stains all around it. The curtains in the master had white stains all over them. My husband had to sweep the garage because it was so dirty we were concerned we would track dirt in from it when taking the trash out. The gravel driveway was overgrown with weeds. When you stepped out of your car, you stepped in tall weeds. That was unpleasant.The house is advertised for 12, but that was not accurate unless you wanted to stuff people in beds. At best it was for 10. We came with 12, and were charged extra because the owner told us more than 10 was 100 per extra person. I was honest because we thought there would be 10 of us but we added two more last minute for only one of our 2 nights. Have we known it was not truly a house for 12 we would’ve never rented it.The downstairs bunk room really should not be called a bedroom. It was more like an entry room to the basement with beds crowded in it. It’s truly a 3 bedroom.

This is a beautiful home in a beautiful location. In the winter, you will need four-wheel-drive to get up the steep hill. Loved the amazing deck and outdoor seating for the views and outdoor conversation. Enjoyed having the hot tub and being close to town. It was great to have a stocked kitchen, however, the pots and pans need major updating! I let the host know, but they need to have a conversation with their cleaning crew. When we arrived, there were crumbs on the couch, all of the shower doors were filthy, and in two of the bedrooms there were crumbs and candy all over the floor. Beds were clean and comfortable. Towels were nice and fluffy. Great place and location, cleanliness is an issue.

We loved the layout of the home. It was very well equipped. Towels and linens were fine. The pantry was quite complete.Apparently we(10) stayed longer than average and we ran out of space for trash. Not sure if the hot tub was always cloudy but we’re not used to that. Unfortunately there were flies in the window in the primary bedroom that came back to life in the heat.The hummingbird feeder was awesome entertainment! Sometimes there were 6 or 7 birds there at one time! We loved the porch and had many meals at the table. The homeowner responded quickly to any questions or issues. We recommend this home without hesitation. We had a wonderful family gathering!

excellent views and grand lake is a cute town. Overall the house was nice. The screen doors had issues with the a bottom part easily detaching. It was not a huge issue and seemed like wear and tear for a house with ok construction. We were surprised that the rental fee was taken for something which should be part of regular house maintenance.

Long Weekend in Grand Lake

We had 3 couples in our 50's stay at Eagles Nest in Grand Lake. Everything was as advertised with the great view and all the amenities. Check in and out was easy and well done with a friendly and very accessible host. Place was clean and well maintained and in great location for RMNP and activities in town. We had a great trip at this VRBO rental.

Great Week at Gateway to Rockies

Our family gathered from Alabama, Utah and Kentucky for a week at this wonderful home. We had a wonderful view of the lake. The bedrooms were thoughtfully and comfortably arranged. The kitchen well equipped. We enjoy taking turns cooking most nights. The children loved playing on the beach and kayaking. The adults too. The hottub was wonderful after a day of hiking and wrangling three small children. The property was minutes away from the entrance to the park and it was easy to drive in before 9AM and after 2 PM to enjoy the wildlife and the tundra.

Enjoyable stay in great location

We had a great time at this comfy home! The owners had thought of everything we could possibly have needed to be comfortable and entertained. Everything was smooth. We had no issues with check in/out or access to the home or hot tub. Location was great with beautiful view of lake and very close to everything. There were full instructions for everything including the hummingbird feeder, which we all really enjoyed. We had plenty of space for all of us, were able to cook meals, make coffee, watch tv and play games. We appreciated the book and dvd libraries and the extensive game collection. The only downside was the fridge, which smelled like fish and had some black hairs in it, so it needed a better cleaning. Other than that, everything was great!

Really enjoyed our stay ... in particular sitting on the deck and looking out over the lake. Beds were very comfortable and linens were clean and nice. We rented a pontoon boat and spend an afternoon touring around the lake. We spotted a moose and baby in the water just off the island located in the lake. The gates were nice to close off the deck for the dogs so they could be outside with us too.

Wonderful family vacation home with gorgeous view

We stayed at this property in early August and couldn't have loved it more. We were a family of 5 and were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, the living room was spacious yet cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking. But the real highlight is the deck. The view is gorgeous and we enjoyed meals outside overlooking the lake. Thanks Vandy we loved our stay!

Spectacular views!

Wow. Wow. Wow. I can’t say enough of how absolutely amazing our stay was in this home! The snowy Christmas views are to die for! The house was clean, the pots and pans were newer and clean, the size of the house was perfect for our 7 adults, the hot tub felt great, we even got to sit in the deck on a sunny 17 degree day with our coffee and enjoy the views!!!! The communication with the owner was prompt and clear. Such an easy drive to the shops/restaurants on the “strip” and man- it was like out of a movie- such quaint little shops with friendly owners! We rented an ice fishing guide to fish right on grand lake, super easy 5 min drive from this house. We also rented snowmobiles and rode in RMNP. You will not regret renting this amazing home! (Oh!- if you go in the winter and there’s snow- you better have 4 wheel drive to get up the steep hill or you probably won’t make it. We had a 4 wheel drive and had no problems but we took it slow). I would definitely come here again!!
