Family vacation

Beautiful home! We were quite surprised that there was everything that we needed with regards to toiletries, to the essentials that was needed in the kitchen. It was a great surprise and very appreciated! The house was very large and roomy, where all good spread out if necessary, to have a little piece and quiet after our long hikes. To look out the windows and see the mountains was glorious, the wildlife even more breathtaking. Thank you to our hosts for allowing our family to be guests in your home!

Amazing Christmas snow experience

Oh my! This cabin was beautifully positioned in Columbine Lake community, providing great, regular road snow clearing. Shoveling our small drive was no big deal with equipment provided and driveway heat. Fireplace added to the wonderful experience. Huge, picturesque views were had on both living levels. Kitchen was super well equipped with EVERYTHING, making this a home away from home. The random squeaky floor was so nice, making the character of the home sweet. On that note, our newlywed couple and my wife all commented on how quiet the house really was; though others mentioned they could hear doors closing. There are TONS of DVD movies and good board games, which added to our family time playing our Quest II Oculus which we steamed to the family TV. We have finally found the secret to a pull out sofa bed: a Tempurpedic overlaying a 2” foam! Very comfy, indeed. There was super-generous tissues, paper towels, trash bags, Toilet paper, etc. provided. Communication was absolutely amazing as well. Owner was lightning fast to respond to whatever we needed. As well, the guidelines, check-in/out etc. details covered way more to what we needed to know. You guys is a wonderful Christmas experience. Thanks!!

One of my favorite places in Colorado !

This is an amazing property in a beautiful setting. This is the second year in a row that we have rented it for our women’s kayak group. Every year, we consistently see moose and deer in our yard. This year we had a large female moose hanging out in the yard for several hours on Saturday afternoon, and one Sunday a younger moose came by with a herd of deer. The huge wrap around deck on the property makes for a Wonderful place to hang out in the evenings, and the view is stunning! Marc Is a fantastic host and we have really enjoyed working with him both of the years that we have stayed here. Everyone on our trip requested that we come back to the same house for next year, it is just such a magical place!

Great stay! A bit farther from town than I'd hoped, though.

Great place to stay and very affordable. The house is very comfortable and well stocked. The communication was easy and helpful. The only negative is that it looked to be a lot closer to town when booking than it ended up being. It's not exactly walkable.

Snowmobile trip

Marc is a great owner who responds to questions promptly! When we arrived, we had a difficult time getting the 29’ trailer in the driveway as it was plowed pretty narrow. Contacted Marc who in turn contacted his snow removal company and got them over to get the driveway widened out. This is a beautiful home in an awesome location. People in this area are very friendly. Marc’s home was awesome for snowmobiling trip!! Thank you!!!

Proximity to RMNP

My family had a wonderful time in this cabin. We've stayed in many VRBO's over the years, and this one was exactly as advertised - very clean and just outside the National Park's western entrance. It really was a perfect location for visiting the park. Our only issue was that we didn't read the listing closely enough and thought we would be able to use Columbine Lake. It's a private lake - no short term renters allowed -- so we were not able to use our SUP or fish there. Turns out that was a non-factor, with Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake literally five minutes away. Overall, highly recommended. Thank you for sharing the cabin with us.

Great place in Grand Lake

We enjoyed our stay in Grand Lake. The place was a perfect location, easy to get to town and activities. The house was clean and looked just like the pics. Enjoyed walking around Columbine lake in the morning! Gorgeous view! Liked the multiple keys available since we had lots of people staying here. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place with a cabin feel!

A little piece of paradise!

The description and the reviews do not do this property justice. It is over the top amazing! We almost hate to tell other people how great it was for fear that it will become too popular, but it was such an amazing place! We were a group of six women from Denver, that are in a big ski club together, and we often go kayaking together. I wanted to have a women’s getaway weekend to go kayaking, and we enjoy shadow Mountain Lake which is nearby. When I was looking for properties online, I thought this might just be a house in a suburb of Grand Lake. and I did not know that it was a beautiful four bedroom cabin/house nestled in the woods on a private lake! Marc Was an amazing host, and bent over backwards to go the extra mile and make sure we had a great stay. He responded to all of our messages very quickly. He even helped tell us where to look for the best stars since the stargazing was totally amazing every night! After dinner we went for a walk around the lake, which was about a mile and a half loop through the neighborhood of beautiful cabins and houses and we enjoyed the view of the lake and the mountains. Every morning there was wildlife in the yard. On Saturday there was a mother dear and her two fawns, and on Sunday morning we were treated to mother moose and her calf, along with two adult deer and two fawns, all in the yard at the same time! There were also lots of hummingbirds. The house was spacious, clean, and had an incredibly well stocked kitchen with utensils, spices, and servingware to accommodate all of the great cooks on our trip! So overall, this was a truly wonderful property, and we hope to return again sometime, because everyone in our group thought that it was a little piece of paradise!

Great stay in Grand Lake

This was our annual vacation for our two families. This was our first time in this part of the country and we had a wonderful time. Marc was a very responsive host. He answered our questions quickly, sent me some websites to look at for hiking, etc and reached out quickly when he found out about fire restrictions in the area. The house was clean and perfect for our two families - big enough to give everyone their space. The kitchen was well equipped. The neighborhood was great to walk around in and everyone very friendly! We saw moose and deer around the lake. and elk and mamot's on our hikes in RMNP. We had a great time and would definetly stay again.
