Incredible NYE experience!

We celebrated a birthday and NYE with a large group of friends from all over the country! This VRBO is truly incredible. It is apparent that there is a lot of love and thought that has gone into each and every space throughout the place. The large rooms and en-suite bathrooms for most rooms are perfect for large groups and famalies. The large dining table is perfect for large groups to all be together. There are many games and activities within the house itself but the surrounding area of Grand Lake is perfect for winter activities and very close by (10 minute drive). Our group not only enjoyed all the ammenities of the house but went cross country skiing inside rocky mountain national park which was an unforgettable experience! Would reccomend this house to everyone. The host, Allie, was also very responsive and accomodating!

A lovely, spacious cabin just outside the Rocky Mountain National Park.

There were four family groupings for a total of 9 people and the cabin was spacious and offered plenty of room. The kitchen was a highlight as we all cook and there was every imaginable kitchen item there. We hosted a couple of family dinners for a larger group, and the cabin worked well for that, too. The younger generation enjoyed the game room downstairs.

Lots of bathrooms, which was great for us!

We had 5 families, 4 kids. It was a great place for us. We loved seeing moose everyday from our window. We enjoyed time on the lake and hot tub. Lots of games at the house for the rainy day. Close to a lot of fun things to do. We would stay there again.

The Best Christmas Vacation Spot for All Ages

This beautiful log cabin was perfect for our Christmas Vacation. From our 2 year old grandson all the way up to my 86 year old Mother-in-Law. The cabin was more amazing than the pictures. There was not one amenity left out. Our family of 14 fit easily and comfortably. Ali and Erick took care of our every need. We had one problem with the range and Erick and his son took care of it by replacing the range on CHRISTMAS EVE! Thank you Erick and Ali for helping our family have the best Christmas vacation experience ever!

A Blessed Home

Upon entering the house, we took a collective gasp at the beauty. So many things were so spot-on: solid construction; everything last little thing has been thought of; well-appointed; everything works; games galore, card table, big family dining table, hooks for everything, loads of space, well-stocked kitchen with loads of counter space, comfy beds, awesome bathrooms/showers, great hot tub, multiple options for dining locations, privacy, the lake, boats/kayaks/canoes, firepits, hummingbird feeders, and of course the moose sightings, which were multiple times/day (with babies in tow). And Pete the Pelican was a big surprise. The geese and ducks, the mountains, the thoughtfulness of the owners -- all top notch! Thank you!

Memorable stay

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The space was clean, and beautiful, and had everything we needed. The kids loved being able to fish in the lake, ride the bikes, and the adults enjoyed having so many different places to sit and relax. The proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park is perfect for a long day hike, or a quick just a quick walk through. Our family enjoyed walking the beautiful downtown Grand Lake. We hope to stay again next year!

Great stay!

I was a little nervous because the listing was slightly confusing and seemed reused from the old property. But this property is AMAZING! They really made it feel homey. They had so many different utensils and spices in the kitchen it made it so easy to cook! The beds were extremely comfortable and we always felt warm in the house. Everything was so clean and well thought out! I highly recommend this home for large families like ours!

New years in Grand Lake

This place was absolutely wonderful! Our family had the best time. Your house had everything we needed. No detail was forgotten. The house is even more beautiful in person. We woke up with a moose standing not far from the house which the kids thought was so cool! We hope to be back. Thanks for sharing your home!

Amazing Cabin Amazing Beauty

We were beyond happy with our stay. The cabin was perfect. It was so spacious for our family of 4 with many sleeping options and the two bathrooms were a real plus. It was stocked with everything you could need and the kids loved picking out a new movie each night from the big selection. The lake and Mountain Views were stunning. We saw so many moose and elk. We loved the proximity to so many trails within walking distance, taking a horeseback ride just down the road with Winding Rivers and the couple mile drive into the park. The town is very cute with many shops and dining options. The grocery store situation is rough, however, with very limited options and sky high prices. I would recommend a stay here to EVERYONE. We couldn’t have had a better family getaway. Thank you!

Very charming and clean cabin on Sun Valley Lake. Kids loved the lofts and the living room was great due to large comfortable couches for all of us to fit for movie nights. Great ammenities and right next to Rocky Mountain Park. We enjoyed local trails, bikes and boats with the cabin. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Ali McDowell

We were recently introduced to the Grand Lake area and fell in love with it. So we decided to pursue the dream of owning our own cabin and making it available for others to rent. We are an extended family ownership from the Northern Colorado area. The peaceful, serene location of this cabin is what we have fallen in love with.

Why they chose this property

-There are many reasons we have chosen this area of Colorado to rent out and vacation. Right from our 'front door and cabin' we have spectacular views of the Never Summer Mountain Range. A 20 acre non-motorized lake located 20 yards from our porch in which you can fish, paddle boat or canoe from . An entrance to 250 miles of extended trails for 4 wheeling, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, mountain biking located only a couple miles down the road. The Grand Lake town is only a 5 minute drive and offers great dining and wonderful Grand Lake Views. Everything offered just right from the front door.
