JUST IN: New 5 STAR executive home with UNMATCHED LAKE, NEVER SUMMER WILDERNESS AND ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK VIEWS AND ACCESS is now available as a vacation rental. Nearby Trail Ridge Marina rents sport/power and pontoon boats so you can get out and enjoy the water.Cruise between Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake through the canal to enjoy shopping, dinner and ice cream in town. Go out to the islands for the day in the cool shade and set up a picnic spot near easy spots for young children to play in the water. Even Moose have been seen resting on the islands and of course they frequent the local shore seen right from the deck of this home.Maximize your time outdoors on the HUGE deck without missing a beat as you watch the boats and skiers go by. Spend a lazy afternoon lounging on the deck reading or have some family competition on the Bocci Court. Hike right from the house across the dam into RMNP and up to the fire tower, about a 3 to 4 hour hike up, which will give you views across all 3 major lakes and for miles beyond. There is no better place to view the 4th of July fireworks than from the serene waters of Grand Lake. (Can only see partial fireworks from house so recommend going closer to town)Inside, enjoy the amenities you might expect to find in a home of this quality including a full gourmet kitchen with a six burner Wolf gas range, double Jenn-Aire ovens and Jenn-Aire refrigerator with freezer and ice-maker and microwave oven ... all stainless of course.Tired from your hike? Relax in front of the great room open gas log fireplace with floor to ceiling stone work or better yet, enjoy the steam shower or air-jet tub in the main floor master bedroom. Game on? Watch it on the Panasonic 60' LCD HDTV in the great room or on the 50" HDTV in the family room while waiting to play the winner on the tournament quality pool table.Upstairs are two additional bedroom suites separated by a large loft area. Each of these bedrooms has their own bathroom and each has a ceiling fan. Music Anyone? For those who know how to play there is an electric keyboard to enjoy playing in the Loft area with a futon that opens to a double bed. The lower level has a 4th large bedroom with a king size bed and a bunk bed adjacent to the lower level full bathroom.We are just minutes from the town of Grand Lake and the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Grand Lake provides a classic 'old west' town ambiance and fun for the whole family. From there you can enjoy the shops, restaurants, mini-golf, guided horseback riding, guided and unguided snowmobile and ATV rentals, go-carts, bumper boats and more.Rocky Mountain National Park is home to an abundant wildlife population including elk, deer, moose, bears, porcupines and foxes (many of these pass through the property as well). Miles of hiking and snowshoeing trails are accessible right from the home or short drive up to the Kawuneeche Visitor Center in the Park for guided tours and other activities.Want to know more....always call first and I will be delighted to answer any questions and make recommendations.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. We DO NOT allow gatherings or events (family reunions, weddings, rehearsal dinners, etc.) of any kind to take place in our home. We receive multiple inquiries as such so want to provide notification here to help save you time in your vacation rental search. Strictly enforced.
3. Quiet Time: 10pm to 8am is quiet time. Noise, even normal conversation, travels in the mountains and neighbors sleep with windows open as most homes have no A/C in the mountains. We request guests move indoors at 10pm.
4. Not a PARTY House: This home is designed for quality family gatherings. We discourage heavy drinking groups from booking this or any of our rental properties due to past problems. We will contact the sheriff which will lead to eviction and loss of all fees paid. Best to find another home if you are looking for a party place.

We came to Colorado in 1995 from Sydney, Australia and Boston, MA where we are originally from. We bought our original Grand Lake vacation home in 2000 which provided many years of enjoyment(see 184930). We moved up full time a few years ago and built this brand new home at the southern end of Shadow Mountain Lake in 2008 and now are making that home available for vacation rentals since much of our time again is required down in Denver. We hope you will enjoy the peace and serenity of this speci
Just enjoyed our 3rd stay at this property and can’t wait to make it a 4th. We love to cook and the kitchen is superb for cooking and serving. The view of the lakes and mountain is breathtaking with windows in every room to enjoy the view. The owners work hard to keep the driveway and back porch clear of snow. Always a special treat to visit Grand Lake.
We had a wonderful family Christmas vacation here with lots of snow and outdoor activities such as snowmobiling. This beautiful home and views are worthy of a painting or postcard. The home is immaculate and fully equipped with everything you could ever need for a relaxing vacation. The kitchen is well stocked and comes with all high end appliances. We have stayed in places all around the world and this was the best we have ever had. Owners are great to work with. We will be back!
The house was homey, beautiful, functional, spectacular, and welcoming all at the same time! The owners were fantastic to work with. I wish I could live here!
Joe was wonderful to work with and helped with The area attractions. If we can we would love to do this again thanks for sharing your Home with us !
The home is beautifully decorated and has a wonderful view of the lake from the deck. We spent a lot of time out on the deck relaxing and enjoying the view. We even saw an amazing rainbow after a short rainfall. The home is located close to the marina so renting a boat or pontoon is a short drive away.
We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the home. The views are everything that's advertised and more. The views are better than advertised. Our dinner club is already talking about next year and our plans to return. Joe is great to work with. Looking forward to booking the home again next year.
Family certainly enjoyed the home and all the amenities. The location allowed for easy access to Grand Lake and the National Park. We all felt like we were living in a postcard! We especially appreciated the well stocked pantry and the provision of paper products as well as use of the kayaks. Joe was the perfect host and made sure our needs were met. Thank you.
The veiw is amazing and the house is set up for families with small kiddos. We will be back!
Loved the house and the location for our Super Bowl weekend. The house was perfect for the 8 of us. We will definitely reserve this house again for a summer get away.
2nd time to stay and we can't wait to stay next winter. Million dollar view and excellent accomadations. Excellent location to be nearby Rocky Mountain National Park. A fantastic retreat for our annual brother's trip.
