Tucked into the trees in the heart of downtown Grand Lake, this historic rustic cabin is the perfect basecamp for your Colorado mountain getaway. With warm wood accents, classic cabin charm, and a story that stretches back through the decades, this is no cookie-cutter vacation rental — it's a genuine piece of Grand Lake history, thoughtfully updated with modern comforts while keeping every bit of its soul intact. Step outside your door and Rocky Mountain National Park is just five minutes away. Spend your days discovering scenic trails, alpine lakes, and wildlife around every bend — then come home to the porch, pour a cup of coffee, and let the trees do the talking. Fire up the grill on the outdoor patio for dinner under the pines, and end the evening with a stroll into town for cocktails, local dining, or a live performance at the beloved Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre. That's the thing about this cabin — you get the quiet and the convenience in equal measure. The kind of morning where nothing is on the agenda, and the kind of afternoon where everything is within reach. Whether you're chasing summits, watching for moose, or simply looking for a slower pace in one of Colorado's most charming mountain towns, this cabin delivers the real Grand Lake experience. Book your stay and make it yours.

This cabin is both very cute and cozy and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is full stocked and we cooked several good meals and had all that we needed. We absolutely recommend this cabin!

Hi Terry,
Thank you so much for the great review! We certainly apologize if you felt a member of our staff was being defensive in response to your concerns. I believe the concerns brought to our attention were unfortunately HOA responsibilities and did fall outside of our scope of influence. We care about your experience staying with us and hope to see you again soon!
Thank you so much,

Most everything was as advertised… could have been better informed about narrow step stairway to basement bedroom and we never did figure out the heating system.

The cabin was very clean and decorated in a rustic homey feeling. Large living room with huge sectional couch. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you would need. Lovely home and the staff at the office was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you want peace and quiet and a comfortable stay in the mountains right next door to Rocky Mountains National Park.

Adequate, but nothing special
This VRBO is an older, historic home with log cabin feel. Interior is rather dark, steps to lower bedroom treacherous bed and pillows downstairs uncomfortable, deck dirty. In a crowded part of town with duplexes directly above with plenty of activity on decks, hindering enjoying outdoors. Plenty of dust on curtains, window sills, exterior of windows.
Positives were a nice kitchen and dining area. Bathrooms were adequate. Laundry room was a nice plus.
Our small family gets together 2-3 times per year at a different cabin in Colorado; often near Estes Park. This summer we chose the Homestead Cabin in Grand Lake on the west side of the continental divide not far from the entrance to RMNP and a short walk/ride to the town of Grand Lake and its many restaurants. Wonderful cabin with all the need necessary amenities to rough it up in the high country including wifi, internet, large TV, dishwasher, W/D. Very clean and quite rustic. My only complaints (minor) were the numerous other cabins crowded on the hill and the front door lock that was difficult to open and close.Notwithstanding this was one of the most pleasant cabins we have enjoyed in the Rocky Mountains. I highly recommend.

Reviewer Comments:
Nice and clean! Good amount of space for a family of 4. Would have been helpful if in the description they said there were air mattress as we brought our own only to find out the house had them, or if the second bedroom had a twin over full bunk, but we made do as our kids don't like to share a bed. The couch is a bit worn out in spots so if you have a bad back beware. Nice location and the staff at GMR were very pleasant and helpful. We go up to Grand Lake every year and would rent this property again!

Hi Angelina,
Thanks so much for staying with us! We were not aware of any air mattresses at the property and do not advertise them unless they are part of the sleeping arrangements for the home. This home sleeps a total of 4 people with the two beds listed. So happy that you had a wonderful stay and we hope that you come back again!
only issues (because of our age) mattresses were so high, my friend had to purchase a step stool in order to get in bed.
lack of local news and CBS, and NBC channel very frustrating. We had great difficulty manipulating "smart TV" again, age certainly a factor.
lock issue with door a major frustration.
overall, we had a great time and found the cabin warm, welcoming and well stocked compared to other VRBO's we have stayed in.
Thank you Christie and Sophie.

Cozy, clean, and well-decorated cabin in a prime location
Loved this cute, renovated cabin that lives up to its name as the "Homestead House". I believe it was one of the original homesteads in Grand Lake. It's cozy, cute, and well decorated with some finish upgrades and appointments from the wood trim and ceilings, to light fixtures, wall decor, and linens. Both bathrooms are very well done. It's a perfect size for a family of 4 or two couples. The living room sofa is big and comfortable and the island in the kitchen is long with plenty of seating. It could use a few more staples such as cooking oil and a few spices. It did have salt/pepper, and sugar. Queen size beds in both rooms would take the property to the next level but that said, the beds were comfortable with nice quality linens. The location to Grand Ave. makes it a prime spot to stay in if you want to be close to the Grand Lake shops and restaurants. We will definitely be staying here again!

Thank you so much Vanessa! We are just thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. You are correct, this is an original home in the Grand Lake area which makes it that much more special! We can certainly mention to the owner to supply a few more spices for future stays. So glad that you enjoyed the location of the home as well. Come back and see us again any time!
