About this property

Quintessential Lake House on the shore of GL, awe-inspiring views

Enjoy making ever-lasting memories at our Cabin. In the Spring through Autumn (typically May - October) we offer a canoe, 2-kayaks and paddle board from our private dock where you may fish and play on the water all day or relax by the camp fire while you roast marshmallows and enjoy family laughter.

Year-around visit our old western GL town which is 1 mile away from the cabin. Shop for souvenirs, play mini-golf and dine. RMNP is only minutes away offering amazing views, hikes and wildlife around every corner.
Let us spoil you with a fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and spa like bathrooms. Our Grand Lake Cabin will give you the wonderful vacation you worked so hard for and deserve.

Cozy lake house

The lake house was perfect for our family of 6. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards provided, along with the fire pit. The house was very clean and comfortable and well equipped with the necessities (coffee, sugar, spices, paper products).

Beautiful place!

We were craving a true lakeside getaway since Colorado has so few waterside homes like this one. We snagged a booking last year and the house did not disappoint !! Highly recommend to anyone. Our family had a wonderful time with the yard, dock, boats and gorgeous view.

Beautiful Cabin on Grand Lake

We had a great stay and experience and definitely would recommend to others. The location is wonderful, a brief drive to Rocky Mtn Nat Park and a short drive or healthy walk to town. The house was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Thanks again!

Wonderful Quite Thanksgiving Getaway

My wife and two teenage sons really enjoyed this beautiful lake cabin for our Thanksgiving getaway! Nestled in a quite neighborhood close to winter park and the Rocky Mountains where we enjoyed hiking and a little skiing. Please take the need for 4x4 seriously if visiting in the winter months!

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Lake . The house was updated and cozy . Since we flew in we were delighted with having spices , oils, and food storage items ( foil & plastic wrap ) for left overs . The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards . Even tho the water was freezing . We strived to keep the fire pit going to warm up and go back . The town is very close with a nice variety of restaurants and in the morning hit up Jump Start bakery’s the staff was delightful . Take the time to go to Adams falls a nice easy walk .

The views from this house was absolutely amazing. We saw a bald Eagle nesting right by. The owners had binoculars so you could bird watch. Very clean house. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.

Great views and space!

There were us and one other couple staying with us and it was perfect! They stayed on the second floor with a bathroom while we stayed on the first floor with our own bathroom. Lots of great toys for the lake (kayaks, canoe and paddle boat). The only issue we had was with the WiFi so if you need to work from the cabin it may be a good idea to check with the host to see if it’s working. Would stay again!

Wonderful Property in a World Class Location

I have grown up visiting Grand Lake. A lot of the VRBOs there are old properties that take advantage of the great location to provide a sub standard experience. Not this property! It’s very comfortable and clean and the unit owner does a great job.

Exactly as pictured plus more

We had a great trip. This cabin is a gem and is even nicer than shown in the pictures if that's possible. The views are incredible as it's right on Grand Lake. We cooked our meals in their gourmet kitchen and even played monopoly one evening in their perfect great room. The old western town of Grand Lake is just across the lake and it is only 1 mile away. We want to go back again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Patty Kiefer

Host profile image
We are Patty and Chris. Our lake cabin was established in 1977. In 2018 we completely renovated our cabin inside and in 2020 we replaced the original dock. We have poured our hearts and soul into our cabin and we love sharing it with good people.

Why they chose this property

You will be captivated with our Lake House and will want to return over and over again. Grand Lake and especially this cabin gets into your system and once there you can't help but want to return.

What makes this property unique

One of the only (if not the only) cabin on Grand Lake which is available to rent. Grand Lake is Colorado's largest natural lake and is a sight to behold. Summer or winter it offers everything you could ever want or dream of in a vacation.
