Golden Moose Cabin- Columbine Lake Home. Sleeps 8!

*This cabin is located in the Town of Grand Lake, NOT Estes Park*

Tucked among the trees on a serene, wooded lot in the Columbine Lake Community, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom mountain home is the perfect escape for those looking to unwind in nature without sacrificing comfort. With inviting living spaces, thoughtful amenities, and a peaceful setting, you'll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

Step through the welcoming mudroom—ideal for storing seasonal gear—and into the spacious open-concept living area. Here, you’ll find cozy seating, a gas fireplace, and a layout designed for connection, whether you're curling up for movie night or recapping the day's adventures.
The fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area with a large table perfect for shared meals, board games, or planning tomorrow’s excursions. Just outside, two private decks invite you to breathe in the crisp mountain air, grill under the stars, or simply relax while watching for moose and listening to birdsong.

The main level features a comfortable queen bedroom and a full bathroom with a shower, plus the added convenience of a washer and dryer. Upstairs, the expansive master suite includes a king bed, dresser, and writing desk, while a second full bathroom is shared with the semi-private loft, where you’ll find an additional queen bed. Need a bit more space? The living room also includes a sleeper sofa for extra guests.
Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck at sunrise or unwinding by the fire after a day on the lake or trails, this home is a true four-season haven for families, couples, or friends.

Moose success!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the BEST vacation to Grand Lake, and we loved our Golden Moose Cabin. The very first evening we saw two moose behind the cabin, which was the reason we chose Grand Lake. Grand Mountain rentals were so helpful, kind, and prompt. They made this easy, and were there every time we had a question. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and we would definitely return there!

Anniversary Weekend

We were looking for a getaway for our anniversary. This cabin was amazing. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the morning and evening watching a moose and her baby swim in the lake and take a nap right outside our cabin. It was so peaceful and relaxing and we look forward to coming back and staying again.

Perfect holiday weekend in the woods

We had a wonderful stay at Gokden Moose Lodge. The Property was 5 min drive to the town of Grand Lake, We cross country skied at the Nordic Center which is also very close and enjoyed the winter wonderland views from both levels of the house. The living space was open and spacious, fresh and clean!

Nice Cabin-like Home

Very nice property nestled in the woods. Between the moose which visited our side yard and a family of owls, it made the experience one to remember. Our family said, let's come to this lovely home again!

Nice cabin, good location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the layout of the house and the closeness to the RMNP. The cabin was clean enough, but there were visible crumbs/hair/dirt in the corners of the bathrooms. Only got about 3 rolls of TP for 3 nights, so bring extra. (The closest town had TP for about $2/roll.) Also only got 3 trash bags provided. There was no salt or pepper in the kitchen and pots and pans were scratched up teflon.But other than those minor inconveniences, it was a great place to stay. Quiet neighborhood. Loved the porches and wished we had more time to enjoy them.

Golden Moose Cabin Jul 2023

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cabin was quite nice and very clean. Outdoor decks were excellent. The views and location were great. The $150 threat of a fine if any garbage is left behind is unnecessary and creates a negative vibe. The fireplace did not work and there were no instructions for it. Kitchen was adequately stocked.However, while there were plenty of coffee cups there were only 3-4 mismatched wine glasses. Same with beverage glasses. Cutting knives were not that great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at Golden Moose Cabin. It was a nice family home. It was secluded yet close to activities. Moose were everywhere. It was nice having the gas barbeque on the porch. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the porch which felt like the middle of the forest. We would rent this house again.

Home away from home

Everything was clean and neat. Had a sweet homey vibe. Just one issue with the toilet but it was handled quickly and efficiently. Management was very friendly and welcoming. Beautiful site in the woods and the added bonus was the moose that came every day in the backyard. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The staff at Grand Mountain Rentals was very helpful in finding a place and providing timely responses. The Golden Moose cabin was in a nice quiet neighborhood, but yet close to town. Everything in the house was in great condition and it had all the amenities we needed. The living area had a wonderful gas fireplace and there were peaceful decks on both levels. The only things we would add would be some curtains in the upstairs bedroom and the main living area. Also would be nice to have access to network TV, instead it just seemed to support streaming services. Overall, a great place to stay with convenient access to RMNP.

Issue with heat

Property was nice overall. Main issue we had was the heat was broken our entire 3 night stay and they did not inform us of this until we were there. Temperatures at night were in the 30s some nights upper 20s inside the house was in the low 60s. Grand Mountain Rentals did provide us with space heaters which we had to go pick up. There was a gas fireplace we had on the entire time. The problem I had was we were paying $400 a night and after we would shower it was freezing! I would sit at night on the couch with the space heater directly in front of me to stay warm on top of layering up my clothes. When you’re staying at a nice lodge you expect to at least be comfortable laying on the couch and not have to rely on moving a space heater around wherever you go. I asked for a discount since one of the key amenities as promised was not provided and I was told the temperatures were fine and the space heaters should have been more than sufficient. I live in Florida and I am not comfortable with temperatures in the 60s inside. They did issue me a $75 refund for the inconvenience after they told me I should’ve been more than comfortable with no heat which I thought was presumptuous. Overall I was not impressed at all with how the situation was handled. I am not someone who likes writing negative reviews but when I spend that much money for a relaxing weekend getaway I expect more.

Relaxing Retreat

Was very clean the beds were comfortable the only thing is that there are no curtains in the house so it’s a little uncomfortable when changing and sleeping at night. Curtains in the bedroom would be a great addition to the cabin.

Great getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall this was a wonderful place to stay. Quiet neighborhood, close to the park and really clean. The only complaint is that the mattresses were horrible. I would definitely make sure they were replaced before I booked here again. We couldn’t sleep on the king bed because it was so lumpy. It’s also very strange to not have anything covering the windows when the neighbors have a clear view into the bedroom from their porch.
