Top Colorado River Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Quintessential Lake House on the shore of GL, awe-inspiring views

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin is amazing! We had such a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer! The house was very clean and well stocked for our needs. Our kids loved the games that were available. We were able to enjoy the dock at sunrise and see eagles catching their breakfast. Truly a great experience, highly recommend."

The Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view. Friendly, helpful staff. Very Clean. Large room with a balcony."

Big Horn Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient on the main street in Grand Lake, and we had a late arrival, which was handled perfectly and efficiently. Nice room, we've stayed in that same room before (we've stayed at this property six or seven times in recent years), the motel was full but there was still a parking spot for us in the lot. All good, the lady in the lobby at our late arrival gave all the instructions needed."

Amazing Views of Shadow Mnt/lake,firepit,3br/2ba Cozy Cabin in Grand Lk,sleeps6

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful cozy home in a beautiful place. Comfortable sitting area with a gas fireplace and comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, amazing views from the main room and kitchen, with lots of outdoor sitting spaces on the wrap around decks, fire pit and hanging swing."

Lone Pine Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: This cabin is perfect for a few nights, has a full kitchen, and enough space to spread out. Walkable to downtown and the lake. Very quiet and cozy. Cons: I didnt receive any checkin instructions and there’s no clear indication how to check in at the “office,” which was locked. It took 30min to get someone on the phone once I’d already arrived. I also could not figure out the fireplace, and didn’t see instructions. Many of the notes in the binder are outdated."
