Renovated 1940's Cabin Located in a Peaceful Grand Lake Village Location

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time is this cute rustic cabin. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace inside and the rustic cabin itself. It was relaxing to read, relax and enjoy the mountains and be unplugged from everything! The outside table, chairs were a lovely place to sit and enjoy lunch and the evening sunsets. The cabin is very close to walk right down to Main Street. We enjoyed walking to dinner every evening. Our dog loved being able to come along for our stay and settled in for our 5 day stay beautifully! There was plenty of room in the cabin to set up the kennel for her ! It was a great getaway to enjoy the mountains & lake with the cooler temperatures. The leaves were starting to change and it was fun spotting the trees as they change colors. Cabin is located very close to RMNP, Grandy, and WinterPark. But Grand Lake never disappoints and we enjoyed the restaurants, lovely locals, and shopping in the local businesses. Fave spots were Durban Indian restaurant and Bob Scott’s Native American Shop. We will be back soon! Thank you!"
