About this property

Beautiful ranch home in Grand Lake. Cozy, clean, with great mountain/lake views.

Located at the doorstep of Rocky Mountain National Park, this lodge has it all. Great mountain views, wildlife and access to great recreation areas. There are a wide variety of lakes, rivers, ski resorts, golf courses, fishing, horseback riding, snowmobile/ATV trails, sledding hills, hikes and more within minutes. Perfect for year around fun and relaxation. Conveniently located just a mile from the historic town of Grand Lake with over 60 restaurants, shops and galleries on the historic boardwalk.

The Moose Be Dreaming Lodge is a peaceful home-away-from-home, with comfortable bedrooms and the perfect entertainment space with an open kitchen, dining, a living room area. The large deck is a place you never want to leave, with great views and fresh mountain air - including frequent sightings of moose, deer, fox, hummingbirds, or an occasional bugling Elk.

The lodge is a one-level ranch style home that comfortably sleeps 8 people with a Master bedroom (king bed/TV/private deck), large guest bedroom (king bed) and a bunk room with 1 queen bed and a bunk with 2 full-size beds. The dining room can accommodate as many as 10 people and the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and serving your entire group. With a large picture window, the living room is the perfect place to have great conversations throughout the day or to watch the stars or a movie at night, while the fire blazes.

Our family has created some of the best memories of our lifetime here and hope you and your family or friends do the same!

Comfortable and Convenient
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Austin’s beautiful home. The neighborhood around Columbine Lake is very convenient to the town of Grand Lake, any of the large lakes nearby, and of course RMNP. There was plenty space for our family of 6 adults, a very well stocked kitchen, and a handy laundry/mud room.

Wonderful home 5 minutes from Grand Lake, CO
Our family of three had to change plans last week, due to forest fires in Estes Park. We were so glad to have found this home near Grand Lake. The quiet neighborhood and beautiful backyard of pines made for a perfect location for our three night stay. We saw lots of deer around the “neighborhood”. Our host Susie was very attentive and made sure all of our questions were answered. The proximity of the home to one of the entrances to the Rocky Mountain National Park was a big plus. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Home, Lovely Location
Very comfortable mountain home is a beautiful setting. It was close to town and equipped with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of extra towels. The comforters in two of the rooms could use an update. The house was on the warm side even though we adjusted the thermostat. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay.

An exceptional cabin
Out of the many VRBO stays we’ve done in Colorado, this property was a cut above the others. The kitchen’s appliances and supplies were not lacking, the spacious areas quite nice, the location perfect, the welcome basket with its gifts a nice touch. Thanks to the owners!

Peaceful Retreat For Relaxation And Exploration
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Moose Be Dreaming Lodge. The host provided detailed information about the property and the descriptions, photos, and amenities listed were accurate and matched reality. The check-in process was smooth and convenient. Additionally, the host provided a welcome basket with a note, a guide to the house rules, a bottle of wine, complimentary snacks, and a guide to local hiking trails in RMNP. The property was spotless, with fresh linens, towels, and essential toiletries provided. Everything worked as expected, from appliances to Wi-Fi. This rental was well-equipped with essentials like a fully stocked kitchen, coffee maker and laundry facilities The Check-Out Process was also straightforward and stress-free. Expectations for tasks like stripping beds or taking out trash are minimal and reasonable. Every aspect of our stay was thoughtfully considered and executed, and we are eager to return the next time we are in the Grand Lake area.

As soon as we stepped in and saw the beauty out the sliding glass door, we knew we had picked the perfect spot to enjoy our family vacation. It was quiet we were able to see moose in the backyard. Had the opportunity to sit around and visit, play games,fish And had some wonderful meals at the home. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful house.

Home was clean, newer appliances. Lots of space, nice deck. Never have rented a home that was so well equipped to meet your needs. Felt so comfortable yet an upscale home. Recommend highly if you are going to Rocky Mtn park, it is 5 minutes away. Even though some surrounding areas were burned by a fire a couple years back the neighborhood is in good shape and beautiful with Fall colors.

Perfect House for a Family Vacation
This was one of our all-time favorite rentals The house was spacious, well laid-out, clean, comfortable and everything else you could want in a Grand Lake rental! The kitchen/dining/living area is great with plenty of room for everyone to hangout. As you can see in the photos, the kitchen has a big island with bar stools with a big dining room table behind it. The living area is great too. Cozy and comfortable furniture. Big windows offer lots of natural light and amazing views. We joked when we were departing that the only downside was we didn't build in enough time to just relax around the house. Outside the normal features of the home, we really appreciated the mud room right off the garage with laundry, a big sink, extra counter space, etc. which was great for extra storage and our kids kicking off their shoes. The house is also well stocked with everything you could think of and more. Our favorite items were the games, arts and crafts supplies, and keva planks (building blocks). We were in town for a wedding at Grand Lake Lodge and had 4 adults and 2 kids. The house was perfect for our needs. A few minutes from the Lodge, a few minutes from town and a few minutes from RMNP. We looked at a lot of options of where to stay and I'm confident we picked the right one. Susie is a great host too. We had a few questions and she was always quick to respond!

Lovely home in great location
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable home. Nice to have two king sized beds. Kitchen was well equipped. Very convenient to the town of Grand Lake and the west entrance to Rocky Mtn Park. Neighboring homes were close by, but we still felt like we had privacy. Highly recommend staying on the west side of the park. Much quieter than Estes Park!

FANTASTIC!
We had a wonderful time here. There were extra touches all around in addition to the basic needs of travelers. Beautiful home, comfortable, and a beautiful setting. We saw a moose with a baby, an owl and a doe with two fawns all in the yard! This is the best VRBO where we have stayed. It is minutes from Rocky Mountain Park. We enjoyed the home so much that we stayed home for a day to just relax Don't hesitate book it today you won't be sorry!

Hiking Getaway
We loved the close proximity to Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park. We were able to hike in the mornings and come back for lunch every day due to the short drive. It was nice to have a place to go back to after many hours outdoors. Plus we loved eating on the deck and enjoying the backyard.

The Perfect Getaway!
We stayed at the Moose Be Dreaming Lodge and had the greatest getaway with our family. And we did in fact get to see moose! This home was so lovely; it had everything we needed and more. I loved that it was both close to town and Grand Lake and yet felt very private and remote. There is a picturesque lake view from the kitchen window and our kids loved making smores at the fire pit. The kitchen was appointed with everything I needed to cook like I was in my own kitchen, which I have found to be a VRBO rarity. The beds were so comfy our kids slept in until 9! Speaking of kids, one of them turned a lock handle and locked us out of the house and the owners were so quick to help get us back in. We would hope not to need to contact owners during a stay but they were on the phone to problem solve within 3 minutes. We hope to make Moose Be Dreaming an annual tradition!

Beautiful, equipped to the max place to stay near RMNP
Absolutely gorgeous ranch that easily sleeps 6-8. We really appreciated the deck, grill, and fire pit outside and the wonderful decor and furnishing inside. The beds were very comfortable. While we did not have others with us, the space is set up to give plenty of privacy to at least 6 people. Afraid you forgot something? Don't be: they have absolutely everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is set up for frozen pizza or four courses. The house is about 5 minutes from the Grand Lake Entrance to RMNP, and even less to Grand Lake Lodge if you are in town for a wedding or other event. Also five minutes to Grand Lake. We would absolutely stay again. Thanks Susie!
