About this property

4BR cabin directly on Shadow Mountain Lake with a boat dock

The cabin is located directly on Shadow Mountain Lake. It has 1800 ft2 with 4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, 2 car garage, and one boat dock. It has excellent lake view and mountain view from inside of cabin, on the large deck, and on the boat dock. All bedrooms have great lake views and have either queen bed or king bed. All bedrooms are about the same size. High speed internet is provided. The cabin was remodeled recently with new LVP floor, new countertops, and new kitchen appliances. A grill is provided with propane tank. Washer and dryer are provided. Five kayaks and one canoe are available (included in the rental price) for guests to use in summer season. There are five hard shell kayaks (for single person) and one canoe (for three persons). The cabin is 2 miles from the center of Grand Lake Village where you can dine out, go to the theater, or shop along the boardwalk! The cabin is 3 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). You can find many hiking trails inside and outside of RMNP. A few important points:
• This is a private residential area, no parties or events allowed.
• The waterfront and boat dock areas are not supervised by lifeguard. Weather can change suddenly. Take water safety precautions and supervise children at all times.
• When you use kayaks and/or canoe for adults and children, please use life vests and practice water safety.
• If you bring your own boats, you can park your boats on the boat dock. The long side of the boat dock is 31', the short side is 21', and the width between the two sides is about 7' (please see photos for the layout of the dock). You need to launch your boat from a public boat launching site at the south end of Shadow Mountain Lake.

Everything was as expected. The living spaces were nice and the views were fabulous. An additional light or two in the living room would be nice. Upstairs bath was small and could benefit from a couple of hooks to hang clothes, makeup bags , etc. we could not really locate any clearly designated bath mats. None of these were problems but thought you should know

Absolutely stunning views. Location perfect for proximity to town of Grand Lake by car and by boat. Kayaks plus our paddleboard used to paddle across lake to hike to Shadow Mountain Lookout and back. Rented pontoon boat on Labor Day for some fishing and trip into town. As we had the boat for the full day, the dock was so nice to tie up to when not out on the lake. Con…bed size. Only one King bed in the house and not so comfy mattresses made sleeping a little uncomfortable. The stairs to and from house to lake. Excruciating, lol, but helped to get some in shape.Host was so quick to take action on our first night when it came to our attention that the pit to the coffee maker was missing. There was one delivered in no time after our reporting. This was an absolute grand Labor Day and 60th Birthday getaway with our precious family.

We enjoyed our stay very much. House was really comfortable, clean, well maintained. We liked the large deck with views of the lake and we also really liked the dock area, where they have tables and chairs as well as kayaks available to use. It can be a little noisy on the main house deck as the house is near the main road leading into Grand Lake, but it was still nice to sit out on the deck and enjoy the views.

Spectacular!

This property is nothing short of spectacular. The owner provides accurate and prompt information. There are incredible views from every room. Being able to get on and off the water on our own private dock was incredible. This was so fun and we hope to be back again!

Great View and very relaxing

The property location is awesome, great view of the lake and very peaceful with the hummingbirds coming around. Very comfortable sleeping areas for me and my friends. A few broken things in the house when we arrived and we were unaware that things like that would be broken. Great access to the kayaking and canoe as instructed, and we did catch a 13-in German brown off the dock in the evening. So that was great. We would probably go back, but instead of putting a sign on things that are broken just fix them next time. Thank you!

Grand lake

We had a great time! We are kayakers so the ease of getting in and out of the kayaks was great even for beginners. The steps at 1st appeared daunting for some old members of our party, but they soon were looking at the exercise as a good thing! The rooms were comfortable and gave us lots of room to spread out. Tom was very helpful and responded to our questions quickly. Suggestions: Garage door opener- it was extra step-up leave the house running back and forth, all info sent via email should also be in the notebook for ease access and longer tie offs for the kayaks. We had some pretty good wind events in the late afternoon. I checked on the kayaks 2 -3 times in the evening "just to make sure."

Gorgeous location with amazing views

This was a wonderful place for a family get together. Plenty of room and well appointed. The kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied as were linens, towels and blankets. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of seating. We enjoyed paddling around in one of the kayaks and the canoe. Our one year old grandson enjoyed the "Kung Foo Panda" dvd over and over and.... If you need to entertain younger children, bring family dvds. There are a few other good dvds there, but just the one cartoon. Tom was very accommodating with our odd schedules and helped us add an additional night through the website without any trouble. He was very nice to work with and always responded promptly to my questions and special requests. Check in and out was very easy. This was our first experience with VRBO and I was very pleased. Not sure how long it takes to receive a credit for the deposit. Once that posts, I can say we will be using VRBO in the future!

Spectacular location and access to the lake!

Breathtaking views from inside and out! Tom emailed concise and straightforward instructions for everything about the cabin and surrounding area several days before we arrived, with no hassles and a prompt response to my one question. The cabin has a huge garage, and the front door is easily accessible. The stairs down to the dock are steep, but worth the climb with excellent access to the water, canoe, and kayaks. Lovely seating areas near the shore as well. The only drawback to this gorgeous place was the Hwy 34 traffic noise, which we soon got used to; it became white noise in the end, and does quiet down at night.

Adorable cabin right on Shadow Mountain Lake. It was so awesome that they allow guests the use of the canoe and kayaks. Communication was superb. The only bummer was the constant traffic noise, since it's located right on the Hwy 34.
