About this property

Kinnikinnik North Lodge - Gorgeous Log Home With Private Dock. Sleeps 12!

**This cabin is located in the Town of Grand Lake, NOT Estes Park**

Step into a piece of Grand Lake history with this truly spectacular family home, sitting on land lovingly passed down through generations since the town’s founding. Nestled right on the shores of Grand Lake, this cherished retreat blends timeless charm with all the modern comforts you need for an unforgettable mountain getaway.

Located in the heart of town, you’re just a short stroll to Grand Lake’s charming shops, restaurants, parks, and the historic theater. But the real gem? A private dock just steps from your back door — perfect for launching your kayak, paddleboard, or boat, or simply savoring quiet moments by the water.

Inside, the home welcomes you with an expansive Great Room featuring panoramic lake and mountain views from nearly every window. Sink into plush seating by the cozy gas fireplace or gather in the chef’s kitchen and adjoining dining area — ideal for shared meals and late-night board games.

After a day of exploring Rocky Mountain National Park or the surrounding trails, unwind on the spacious covered deck with Mount Craig (affectionately known as Mount Baldy) as your backdrop. The large yard and wood-burning fire pit invite you to spend your evenings lakeside, sharing stories under the stars.

With room for the whole crew, this home offers three private bedrooms — two with queen beds and a third with two sets of extra-long twin bunks, perfect for taller guests. A private den with a sleeper sofa and TV, plus a cozy loft with additional gathering space and another TV, means everyone has their own spot to relax.

This home is best suited for peaceful mountain escapes. The oversized driveway provides plenty of space for parking and outdoor toys.

Whether you're creating new memories or honoring old ones, this lakeside retreat offers the perfect blend of nostalgia, beauty, and adventure — all framed by the sparkling waters of Grand Lake.

Wonderful vacation spot

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Two senior couples enjoyed 4 nights in this wonderful home within walking distance of downtown Grand Lake. Having our boat at the dock added to the experience. We enjoyed reading about the history of the home and the family who owns it. There are many places to walk and we saw several moose and other wildlife. We will be back!

Kinnikinnik Lodge a Winner!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is a 5 star property! It was the nicest and cleanest home we've ever stayed in. The layout of the home was extremely comfortable for our party of 8. The kitchen was very well stocked and allowed us to cook many of our meals at the house and enjoy the breathtaking views of Grand Lake and Mount Craig. They even provided a slow cooker! It is a very short walk into town or down to Point Park where we encountered moose daily. I like the fact that there was a washer & dryer available. Sadly, we didn't get to use the fire pit due to the burn ban, but enjoyed the dock everyday. We will definitely be renting this property again!!

Review

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our family's first time renting this property in Grand Lake, even though our families have vacationed in Grand Lake for many years. Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain, Lake Granby are all great lakes to do any type of water activity, boating, jet skiing, paddle boarding, wake boarding, tubing, fishing etc.& our families do it all. We enjoy fine dining at The Rapids Restaurant, by the river, or grabbing a great burger at Miyauchi's Snack Bar, down by the pier, or having a picnic at the picnic tables at the pavilion, then going for an in ice cream treat at Grand Lake Chocolates on the boardwalk afterwards. Our kids & their parents love to go to Rocky Hi Speedway to compete with each other in go cart racing, which we do every year, as well as golf at the many available courses. This year it was the Grand Lake Golf course. Then there is always shopping from Bob Scott's Authentic Indian Jewelry, to Never Summer Mountain Products, to Humphrey's Cabin Fever & many more, we cover them all. We have photographers in the family & the wildlife is always on display, constantly reminding us that this is their home & we are just visitors, but we always bring home some great pictures, along with great memories had by all!

Fabulous getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was better than I imagined. It had a real “home” feeling (in a good way) instead of a “rental” feeling. Kitchen had ever tool and gadget you could imagine. You can’t tell in the photos, but the location is fabulous. Just a 5 minute walk to town. Lake is serene and for me the best part was sitting outside having my morning coffee looking at the lake and listening to the sounds of nature.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 May 2022
So glad that you enjoyed beautiful Kinnikinnick Lodge! We agree that the location and feel of the home are both fantastic. We hope that you come back and visit Grand Lake again!

Wonderful Lodge - we will return

Beautiful views.....right on the lake. Good deep water dock - we caught fish right off of the dock and used the fire pit. The place was extremely clean. We highly recommend this gem of a rental and we will be returning. The layout of the kitchen area and the main area with the deck off of the living room was perfect.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2020

My family and a friends family stayed here for a week. 4 adults and 5 children. It was perfect!

From being able to walk to town and swim on your own private beach this house has it all. Highly recommend!
