About this property

Moose Pond – A Serene Mountain Cabin Retreat

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

Discover the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience at Moose Pond, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin tucked in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Overlooking a tranquil pond often visited by moose and elk, this cozy hideaway offers peace, privacy, and plenty of space to reconnect with nature—and each other.

Step inside and feel instantly at home with rustic mountain décor, a welcoming wood-burning fireplace, and all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. The cabin features three private bedrooms, including two with queen beds and a third bunk room with twin-over-twin bunk beds—perfect for the kids. There are also two bathrooms, one with a standing shower and the other with a shower/tub combo, making it easy for everyone to freshen up after a day outdoors.

The heart of the home is its spacious deck, where you can grill dinner, sip coffee, feed the birds, or unwind with a good book while taking in the mountain air and peaceful views of the pond and forest beyond.

Located just a short drive from downtown Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park, you'll enjoy easy access to hiking, fishing, wildlife watching, boating, and more. And when it’s time to slow down, enjoy indoor entertainment like board games, books, DVDs, and even toys for the kids—making it a truly family-friendly escape.

Whether you're looking for a cozy winter getaway or a peaceful summer retreat, Moose Pond offers an unforgettable stay filled with mountain charm and natural beauty.

The view was amazing! We saw a lot from the deck . Bull Moose and a big bear were the highlights! The negative was a random sewer smell from time to time and the washer/dryer combo was very slow and loud. Overall a great location 5 minutes from town. Very clean! We really enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much for your 5-star review Wayne! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the incredible wildlife sightings and the beautiful views from the deck. It sounds like you had such a special experience! We also appreciate your feedback about the washer/dryer combo and occasional smell. We would love to get some more information from you about this as it is not something we have noticed before. We’ll be sure to look into both to see how we can make future stays even better. We’re so glad you found the home clean and convenient to town, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Until next time, Grand Mountain Rentals

Relaxing Stay at Moose Pond

We loved our time at Moose Pond! The pond is beautiful and there was so much wildlife to spot. It was so relaxing to sit out on the deck. The cabin was cozy and a great space for the whole family. The property management company was super helpful and responsive. We accidently broke a coffee carafe and they dropped off a replacement that day! We loved Moose Pond and would definitely stay here again!

Fall Break Getaway

This place was great. The view was wonderful and the place was the perfect size for our group. We were able to go to the top of Rocky Mountain National Park two days and the second day it was snowing. Other than the fires going on that we kept a close eye on it was a fun relaxing trip.
