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.

Amazing Time with Family

Our family loved this property. It has gorgeous views of the lakes and mountains, and it's close to downtown Grand Lake. The property has everything you need and is very comfortable, and we especially liked the maps on the table. We look forward to staying again.

The property and location was very good overall. A little difficult for the grandkids to explore outside i.e. not much of a front yard. But close enough to RMNF to get out and have fun.

Beautiful Property

We had a wonderful time at this Grand Lake home. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and it had all the amenities we needed. It snowed while we were there and the driveway was plowed the next morning. The view of Grand Lake from the dining/living area was gorgeous. Our two granddaughters loved sledding on the street out front. We enjoyed the hot tub as well!! I highly recommend this property!

Our Stay

Overall the cabin is nice in a good location. However when we got there not only did all the sheets on every bed smell bad but there was no hand soap, shampoo, conditioner. I replied back and haven’t heard anything from them in days regarding this.

Incredible home with a more incredible view!

The property owner was great from the start! Very communicative and responsive. When we walked into the home, we were shocked at just how beautiful and well kept the place was! It’s an even nicer home with amazing views than what you see online. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, coffee, etc making it SO easy to just stay in and cook rather than head to town. But the proximity to town made it very easy to head into town as well. Overall, we had an amazing trip largely due to how great our stay was!

Snowmobiling

Hot tub did not work as advertised which was a bummer. Would have like to soak after a long day on the trails. Followed instructions on the hot tub to not push buttons, but the jets would not work after 20mins. Nice property.

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!
