About this property

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.

This was an amazing stay, the property was beautiful ( even better than the listing described) The house was spotless, the attention to detail and all of the little touches made our stay worry free! Lori was great to deal with and the entire process was stress free. From start to finish our stay was even better than we could have hoped for. Highly recommended this location you will not be disappointed. My wife and I always try to pack everything we think we will need and I can tell you that Brent and Lori have this property so well setup we were impressed. We will definitely be back, thanks so much for such a wonderful stayMike & Teresa

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.

Waterfront

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
