About this property

Entire Cabin: Step Back in Time at The Piney Lodge

Built in 1961, our tiny piney cabin is located in the heart of Grand County just on the edge of the charming and picturesque town of Grand Lake. Our rustic cabin has basic modern conveniences, mostly from the 60’s, to make for a wonderful mountain vacation experience. Although we invite you to fully unplug, Comcast/Xfinity WiFi and Basic Cable Television are available at the cabin as of January 2021.

Enter the cabin and enjoy a cozy living space with an open floor plan, including a small family room and kitchen in one main room. Enjoy our well stocked kitchen with spices and condiments, while watching the hummingbirds from the kitchen table. Two small bedrooms with blackout curtains are separated by a ¾ bathroom with a single Shower – one Queen bed and one Double bed. A second full bathroom with a Bathtub and Washer/Dryer is located off the mudroom for a little extra privacy or traffic overflow.

To truly appreciate the mountain experience, gather around our fire pit for an evening under the stars. Outside there is a gas BBQ grill on the deck and a gas fire pit down below. Grab one of our cozy throw blankets and sit on the deck to take in the fresh mountain air. Alternatively, snuggle up with a fire in our wood fireplace inside and enjoy the large windows looking out the front, perfect for viewing the breathtaking views and local wildlife.

We take great pride in offering a family friendly cabin. Our cabin offers a natural outdoor space. From our deck, our cabin is sure to provide the perfect mountain getaway for your family. The family room includes a sofa with a pullout sofa bed, two swivel chairs, a small TV, DVD player and a telephone with free local and long distance calls. WiFi and Basic Cable television are now available, and there is a small library of DVDs. You will find toys, puzzles, movies, games and books to entertain the kids. For the older kids and adults, you will find plenty of games and DVDs to select from to gather as a family and enjoy on evenings or rainy days.

We are conveniently located 5 minutes to downtown Grand Lake, 10 minutes to Rocky Mountain National Park, 10 minutes to Granby Ski Resort, 20 minutes to Hot Sulphur Springs, 45 minutes to Winter Park, and a breathtaking 2-hour drive from Denver. You will find all of Colorado’s amazing offerings, right at your doorstep. From hiking, mountain biking, golfing, fishing, wildlife viewing, soaking in the natural mineral hot springs, snow mobiling, ice fishing, cross-country and downhill skiing and snowboarding, everything is nearby.

Relaxing Time in the Mountains

This was a wonderful cabin. Nice and quiet area with no shortage of fresh air and views. Just the right distance from Grand Lake so you don’t feel crowded, and yet you are close enough to food and fun. Would definitely stay here again. Even the teenaged kid and our little dog felt at home.

Piney Lodge was so enjoyable, comfortable, well supplied and clean! We loved the view of the mountains from the cabin and balcony! We could have sat the balcony all day, watching the mountains and the weather! We loved being so close to RMNP!The decor and pine paneling brought back great memories! The cabin is totally supplied with everything imaginable, especially the kitchen and spices! Thanks for an awesome stay in Grand Lake!

Great Cabin a Stone’s throw from RMNP

This was a perfect place for our family to stay while we were gathering in the Grand Lake area from 3 different states. The location is outstanding being only 7 minutes from Grand Lake and 10 min from a top 5 most popular national park! The hosts were incredible and helped answer any questions we had very promptly as well as had a super well stocked house with those odds and ends you might need in the mountains. Will stay again if we have more family come from out of state.

Nice Rustic Cabin in a Beautiful Area

Just 4 of us, my wife, son, and his girlfriend for 3 days. The weather was not great, but the little cabin was comfortable, very clean, and had all the amenities. We spent a great deal of time just enjoying the cabin and the company of each other. The area is incredibly beautiful, so we made a few trips to sightsee as well as enjoy several tasty meals in Grand Lake. I would recommend this rental for a relaxing vacation.

Perfect cabin

Came here with my dog for a 3-night stay. The cabin is really well-stocked with everything needed for cooking, showering, relaxing, even picnicking. The only thing one may need is a fan for white noise and air movement. The cabin is located at the end of a short road in a neighborhood, but it is quiet and no one was around. Nice wooded area in back of the house. I can see kids having a great time staying here. My dog had fun exploring. I would definitet stay here again.

Had difficulties with reservation, site said pets allowed but after I made reservation found out only one pet with a weight restriction, had to board my two dogs even after paying a cleaning charge for them which was not returned, no offer to do so, cabin is okay, needs work and could be a little cleaner, under bath mat in secondary bath was gross but all in all a nice place to stay for the price

As a senior who loves camping, but doesnt camp anymore because its too much work and uncomfortable, i was very happy to find this perfectly furnished and comfortably supplied cabin tucked in the Grand Lake area overlooking Shadow Mtn Lake with a spectacular view of the Rockies from the deck. It couldnt have been more perfect. We are 4 senior happy campers who didnt have to camp to experience the satisfaction and joy we received from our Piney Lodge rental.

Simply Delightful

The whole idea of coming to this part of the country is to enjoy the majesty of the outdoors and all it has to offer. But when it’s time for rest and relaxation, this is the place, an incomparable “base camp.” Nestled in a fragrant pine grove at the doorstep of Rocky Mountain National Park, this cozy cottage was perfect for our small group. It is thoughtfully appointed in décor of the region, and in many ways just like home with so much supplied for cooking and dining and nights of restful sleep. The front porch was a favorite of ours, and the backyard is a seemingly endless forest.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Lieder

Host profile image
We have always been off-the-beaten path travelers and have enjoyed staying at VRBO places since inception. It offered us an affordable option to get out into beautiful, remote places, travel with our dog, and have all the modern necessities we needed and wanted in a vacation rental, especially a kitchen and outdoor space.

Now that we have a kid, we still enjoy VRBO traveling, only now it affords us the opportunity to have a second bedroom versus cramming us all into one hotel room with lights out at 7:30 pm!

We wanted to share our tiny cabin with you for the same reasons. We hope you enjoy the beauty and serenity of Grand Lake as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I first fell in love with Grand Lake when our friends offered us their rustic cabin for our honeymoon in September 2010. We've been coming up every spring, fall or winter to enjoy different parts of Grand County ever since.

We truly enjoy the beauty of the national park, the lakes and the mountains, the wonderful and caring community, the laid back outdoor lifestyle, and the peace and quiet.

We find great pleasure in having nothing to do but to read a book or to enjoy each other's company sitting by the fire, cooking meals, playing cards, or working on puzzles together.

We knew we found the right place when on the day of our closing, we had an impromptu sleep-over with old friends and their kids. It didn't matter that the place was a little dusty from being vacant and our new beds hadn't arrived yet. We had clean sheets, plenty of fresh pillows and blankets for everyone and great company. The kids played with sticks in the yard for hours, while the adults made dinner, caught up with each other and shared stories.

We filled the cabin with laughter all night, went on a big hike the next day, and made great memories in just 24 hours.

That is exactly what the cabin is for!

What makes this property unique

We love that we have the best of everything Colorado has to offer all within a short drive -- skiing at Winter Park, soaking at Hot Sulpher Springs, XX-skiing and Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park and boating in Granby and Shadow Mountain lakes!

We also cannot resist the charming and quaint town of Grand Lake where kids and adults can run free!
