When you rent this condo at the Shadow Mountain Yacht Club, you'll be enjoying the best of what Grand Lake has to offer. Only a flat grassy lawn separates you from Shadow Mountain Lake for kayaking, paddle-boarding, or to test your angling skills. From the condo, you'll enjoy amazing panoramic views of Shadow Mountain Lake and the alpine peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park! From here you can take a leisurely stroll into downtown Grand Lake. Right outside the condo, you can toss the frisbee or enjoy other yard games on the massive lawn area. You can even roast some marshmallows over a lakefront fire - the list goes on and on!

The Shadow Mountain Yacht Club has a great location that is close to downtown as well as the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. You can be either place in just a few minutes. The condo itself has a large open concept layout which combines a nicely sized kitchen with the dining area and living room. Best of all, you'll have lake views from the entire space. The kitchen has loads of storage, upgraded tile, and stainless steel appliances. There's bar seating for 4 and a built in wine rack for your end of the day reward. The dining table is round to encourage family dining or board game fun. The living room has a large leather sectional sofa set up perfectly for you to enjoy the large HDTV, fireplace, and gorgeous views! You might find the living room's covered deck to be your favorite part of the property. It has sweeping views that you'll really appreciate as you start your day with a cup of tea or coffee.

The master bedroom is a pretty good size. It has enough space for a beautiful King size bed complete with 2 nightstands, a dresser with HDTV and mirror, and a reading chair. The room also has a double closet, an en suite private bathroom, and a private balcony with lake views. When you wake up in the morning or lay down for an afternoon break, you'll have a hard time not staring at the lake and mountains. The second bedroom has 3 Twin beds and a Double bed, which makes it ideal for a second couple, a group of kids or singles, or a mix of couples and singles or kids. This bedroom has an adjacent full bathroom that is also accessible from the main living space.

With all the fantastic outdoor activity options available for summer and winter guests alike, a Grand Lake property wouldn't be complete without access to a washer and dryer. This condo has a very large laundry room with newer high capacity front loading machines, so pack as light as you like. This is lakefront living at its best. Please book online with confidence, or contact us with any questions! Our highly trained Vacation Rental Specialists are available 7 days per week.

Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.

Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.

Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended. For guests who are booking a lengthy stay of more than one week, a mid stay-cleaning fee equal to the final cleaning fee may apply for the second week, third week, and so on. If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc.

We had a nice stay at your condo. Great views and access to use our kayaks and paddle boards. One suggestion to replace the double bunk bed mattress. It was not comfortable, feels like an hard board. Otherwise, we had all the amenities we needed.

Perfect location for RMNP!

We loved our stay here. The host was great at communicating and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The place looks just as described. The lake is gorgeous and coffee on the deck with the view was amazing. The state park entrance is a couple miles from the condo and there is a gorgeous waterfall near the lake if you’re up for a short hike! We will definitely be back!

We booked this property due to its walkability to our construction project. This is a summer vacation location and few properties with kitchens were open at the time of our reservation (still in winter conditions, snow on the ground and very cold temperatures). I had gained verbal clearance the day before for an early check-in. When we arrived at the approved time, we discovered that someone else was staying in the unit. He was as surprised as we were when he showed up not long after we entered. At this point we didn’t have time to wait for the unit to be cleaned for us (which would take hours) so we were forced to find another property that was open and had a kitchen. We had travelled with our food for a several-day stay. Not only did we lose valuable time having to run down another living situation, we were now forced to have to drive a distance to our project multiple times/day. We considered this a hardship, but were only reimbursed the original amount. We did everything right on our end, but were given no additional compensation for our inconvenience. We felt that this was unsatisfactory customer service.

Beautiful view, everything you need

The condo has a well stocked kitchen, better than many other rentals I’ve stayed in! The beds were comfortable. The main balcony was good sized, and there is a second smaller one as well off the master. There was good WiFi for streaming as well as cable. We had a great time and saw 2 moose in RMNP! (Tip go early to see them- 6:30/7am)

Excellent rental on Grand Lake. Morning coffee views from the balcony were amazing! Access to the water was great. Loved the fire pit one night. Unit is somewhat outdated, but not to a fault. Super clean and VERY comfortable! Roomier than I think the pics represent. Only 4 stars on the check in process only because the instructions were texted and I was watching for them via email. Once we got that straightened out it was super Straightforward. Nice job! We would have booked the same weekend for next year if the calendar was available that far out! See you next year!

Great condo, beautiful location!

Great location with access to the lake and a quick (2 min) drive to downtown strip and RMNP. There was plenty of room in the condo with both a long bar to eat at and a dining table and a huge, comfy leather couch that seated all 7 of us (3 adults, 4 kids) easily. The kitchen was stocked with all the pots/pans/utensils/seasonings we needed. There were also board games and a few outdoor toys. The balconies get some morning sun but are shaded most of the day which is nice because the sun at that elevation is strong. The lawn is soft and very well maintained and great to play on. There is a fire pit out by the lake and a huge supply of wood for burning stacked up by the condos. There were a couple of minor downsides (the dressers in this unit were old with sticky drawers and the mattress in the master bedroom could use replacing as it was uneven and not supportive for even my 100 lb frame) but overall it was an awesome place to stay!

Clean with great view but a little run down.

The condo was clean and had an amazing view. It was a little run down though. The screen door was off and leaning on the side of the deck. The sliding door took effort to open and close. The vertical blinds were askew. The cleaning crew left the furniture pulled away from the wall to presumably vacuum behind it. We had to move it back - there was even night stands on the beds! The beds in the second bedroom are not worth having. I tried to sleep in them all. Worse than a pull out couch. Terrible. The lamp shade of one of the floor lamps was taped to make it stay on - which it did not making it unusable and the condo dark. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We never did receive check out instructions that were to have been in the condo. An ok stay.

Nice location, condo was just okay, unethical management

The best thing about this condo is the view. It is truly lovely looking at the lake and the mountains. We also liked being close to town but not right in town, although as a previous reviewer mentioned, it is not a "leisurely stroll" to the main drag... probably more like a 10-15 min walk. The walk would be no problem for fit adults, but with little kids, it wasn't realistic. Bumpy roads + no sidewalks aren't stroller-friendly, so it's too far to walk in for ice cream, swimming, etc. The condo was well cleaned, no issue there. However - it is definitely shabby. The screen door to the patio fell off when we tried to close it. An arm on one of the patio chairs is broken. There was no cover on an electrical outlet on the patio - a safety concern with small kids. There was a lamp with a shade literally taped on with scotch tape that kept falling off. The sheets are scratchy and smelled strongly of scented detergent. Knobs broken off the dresser in the master. The beds in the bunkroom may be fine for kids, but are a recipe for a bad back for any adult. In addition, the condo was missing some pretty basic things that make a difference when on vacation. No DVD player. No welcome binder/folder with info about the area and the rental (just a loose pile of outdated brochures.) No throw blankets on the couch. No large cutting boards or baking sheets (or at least we couldn't find any!) None of these things is a deal-breaker, but they add up to an overall level of inconvenience. None of these factors ruined our time in Grand Lake (which is a wonderful town!) but we wouldn't rent this place again. Finally, the day we checked out, we received an email from the property management company STRONGLY encouraging us to write only 5 star reviews... and promising "future discounts on any of their properties" if we did. The email spent several paragraphs detailing why it's so critical that guests only write 5 star reviews and come directly to the management with any criticism or issues - not post it on VRBO. This left a very bad taste in my mouth and made me distrust any previous 5 star reviews of this property. Bribing guests with future discounts for 5 star reviews seems unethical and against the spirit of platforms like VRBO.

Inside of condo clean and neat, but the hinges on the cabinets creaked like fingernails on a blackboard. Also the stairs and walkway to the condo were very dirty and run down. The sheets on the bed in the master bedroom were clean but looked to be extremely old as they were thin and pilled in areas.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay in Grand Lake!!

This was our first time visiting Grand Lake and we couldn't be happier. The town was wonderful, the lakes were beautiful, and the condo was just what we needed. We had 7 in our group (Me, my wife, our 3 teenagers, and my wife's parents. My wife and 2 kids slept in the 2nd bedroom and we gave the master bedroom to my in-laws. My oldest boy slept on the couch and said it was comfortable for sleeping. We also brought an air mattress in case we needed it. The condo had everything we needed. I reached out to the owners on several occasions and they were always quick to respond and very helpful. This condo was in a great location for us and me and my boys love to fish. We walked out back everyday and fished right beside the marina, catching both rainbow and brown trout. The condo was close enough to the local market that on several occasions I rode my bike to pick up a few items. The separate balconies were great which allowed for my in-laws to sit outside if they wanted a little more quiet time to themselves. We took advantage of the fire pit and cooked Hobo dinners and smores one evening. The condo is equipped with a new high efficiency washer and dryer which made doing laundry a quick chore. I couldn't believe how fast the clothes were dried. Again, thank you to the owners for being so helpful and for providing such a great place to stay. It definitely made our trip even that much more enjoyable.
