About this property

Grandview Lodge at 8400 ft near Golden/Boulder, CO

Breathtaking panoramic Continental Divide views from Indian Peaks to Longs Peak to Twin Sisters Peak with numerous rock formations at this home in the mountains of Golden, CO. Located off a private drive, this property offers views, privacy, and proximity to Boulder, Golden, and Nederland with endless recreation opportunities out the backdoor.

Guest access:

Guests will have complete privacy during their stay and will be provided a code for entrance. With that said, I live minutes away in the surrounding community and can be available as needed. I'm also very familiar with the local area and would be happy to help with any recommendations from the popular destinations to the hidden gems.

Other things to note:

Property is located off a well maintained private road. In winter, this road is plowed but AWD or FWD with winter tires/chains is required.

The house also has high speed Internet but cell coverage is limited. WiFi calling can be used for any phone calls.

Great Place with Great Views

This is a great property with Great views. We were able to see fog flow into the valley one of the nights we were there. The property is awesome, and I would recommend staying here in a heartbeat.

Sitting On Top Of The World

The view from Grandview Lodge is that of sitting on top of the world. It is a quiet oasis or serenity and tranquility. Quietude. The set up was perfect for our family group: three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil and kitchenware renters could want. Only thing we didn't find was a fly swatter. We day tripped all but one day. The location is quite remote, but that was in the description. The mountain roads were old hat to the locals, but much more cautionary for us. We enjoyed exploring Nederland, Golden, and Georgetown. We really enjoyed the amazing grocery store in Nederland and frequented the local restaurants. Philip, our host, was easy to communicate with and always responded immediately; thank you Philip! Highlight of the setting: viewing a huge moose amble by along the driveway one morning. Amazing!

Great Set-Up for Families

We were very satisfied with our stay at the house. There was great snow all around the house so we actually stayed-in about 3 days of the 7 days we were there. Perfect place for us to sled and tube right at the property. The foyer/mudroom area was perfect for hanging our snow clothes and lining up our snow boots. The downstairs gameroom was awesome for the kids. The dining table was large and the bench seating is perfect for large families. We had game night almost every night so the large table was perfect for all of us. The kitchen was well laid out. There's a ton of dishes and utensils for your large group. If there was anything I probably had to say was a little frustrating was the drive up the mountain. I'm from Texas so the slick roads were a little intimidating. We had to put chains on our tires every time we went up the mountain and then back off when we came down. Renting an AWD vehicle would've been like 3 times the cost & that's with my family discount at Enterprise. Next time, it may be worth it to spend the money. Despite that little issue, our stay was AWESOME! Oh, and communication with Philip was perfect!!

Great place to stay!

If looking for views plus a quiet place to stay where you can still have access to both mountain and city, this is the place! My family went to Denver, Golden, Boulder, Rocky Mountain National park, Nederland, plus other areas to hike on the front range mountains, and all places were easily accessible from this house! You can't beat the pictures we took of the higher mountains within view from the deck of the house, and the owner was great in answering all questions before and during our stay. I'd definitely stay at this house again and wish we were able to stay longer during this vacation! To the owner thanks again for all your help!

Most Disappointing VRBO Say Ever

Infested with roaches and gnats. Smelled musty. Went to open the basement windows to air the place out and they were covered with spider webs and bugs. Garage smelled like a dumpster. Driveway was a lake for the entire week, but I've got a jeep so np. Weeds growing up through the front entryway steps. 12 ethernet jacks in the master bedroom. WTH? Large wraparound deck but no outdoor table and minimal outdoor seating. No backsplash on the kitchen countertops. Yes, I made the mistake of looking in the gaps between the countertop and the wall - eck. Motorcycle traffic roaring up the canyon all weekend and rock music echoing out of the surrounding homes (bar?) on the hillside. Bathroom sink didn't drain, and the fridge died on day two. The owner did fix those issues but admitted the fridge was on the fritz to begin with. Would have been nice to have known that before I stocked it with a couple hundred bucks worth of food and lost some of it. When my teen girls found out they had to sleep in the weird basement bedroom they looked at me like Kevin in Home Alone when Mrs. McCallister sent him up to the attic to sleep. Still haven't heard the end of it from them. We were quite disappointed that other reviewers didn't mention these things.

Peaceful

The property was very nice and very scenic. It was kept very clean. The location was great, it wasn't too far from Estes Park, Loveland, Colorado Springs. It was very quiet and peaceful. During our week there, we saw only one person around the property walking their dog. The solitude was great. I hope to return during May of 2024.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast so lucky to live in the mountains of Colorado. If I'm not relaxing at home soaking in the views, you can likely find my wife and I exploring nearby trails and open spaces with our two pups, shredding the local singletrack mountain biking, or trekking up one of the many mountain peaks. The beauty and friendly, relaxed culture of Colorado truly never ceases to amaze me.
