The Home:
The home has 3 levels of living space. This layout is great for privacy and separation, when you want it. At the same time, the home's mountain modern architecture provides rooms and spaces that are large enough for their purpose. The two master suites are upstairs. Each of these suites has a King bed with high quality sheets and bedding sure to provide you with a great night's sleep. Each master suite also features a walk in closet and a private bathroom. The south side master gives you views of Lake Granby, while the north side master looks towards Shadow Mountain Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park. With these bedrooms, you can draw straws and both couples will end up winners. In between the master suites, there is a buffer. A loft style living room overlooks the main living room below, and features a big soft couch for relaxing, reading, or watching TV.
The middle level includes the Great Room, which combines the living room, dining room and kitchen. In the living room portion, you have vaulted ceilings that are over 15 feet high. Two opposing couches and banks of large windows provide views of the lakes, mountains, and forest that surround the home. The wide fireplace combines beautiful stonework with barn-wood and a "true view" gas fireplace that requires no glass, allowing you to feel the warmth of the fire but sparing you the mess, difficulty, or safety issues that go with a wood fire. Don't worry, if you want a wood burning fire, there are two options - more on that in a moment. The kitchen is a chef's delight. The center island includes the sink and 4 big barstools, a great place to serve up appetizers or breakfast. Turn around from the sink and you have a professional range with hood vent and warming lights. The kitchen includes a beautiful stainless steel french door fridge and stacked ovens, which are close to the sink and range, but out of the way for easy access and flow. There's also a coffee and tea nook plus more than enough cabinet and counter space for all of your food. Over by the dining table you have another bank of cabinets, a wine and beverage fridge, and long counter that makes buffet style serving of meals easy. The dining table is oval and seats 8 in comfort, with views that are to die for.
You'll want to step outside to fully immerse yourself in the panoramic views, and it's easy to do so in any season. The main living room has two doors leading to the covered wraparound deck. The homes roofline extends out and above the 3 sided deck, providing you with protection from the occasional rain or snowstorm. This amazing outdoor space includes a wood burning outdoor fireplace for warmth and ambiance. With unobstructed southern views, sunsets over Lake Granby are glorious. Kick back in the Adirondack chairs, and you might linger here long past sunset. Back inside, the main level includes a bit more than the great room. Tucked away past the stairs you'll find a dedicated office. If you must get some work done, good luck. The office has the same fantastic views of Lake Granby as the rest of the home, a not so subtle reminder that you aren't here to work. Finally, there is also a half bathroom for your convenience, and a mud room, for shoes, boots, coats and hats.
On the lower level, you have a very large living area. This lower living room includes a home theater area with a 65 inch HDTV. It also includes an 8 foot pool table, a Gran Board electronic bluetooth enabled dartboard, a secondary kitchen with wet bar and pizza oven, and a lazy-susan rotating poker table. On the Lake Granby side of the home, floor to ceiling glass frames your views across Lake Granby all the way to the Byers Peak Wilderness. Step outside and enjoy the in ground firepit with views that can't be beat. Cook some homemade pizzas and then do s'mores. Play some pool or darts while watching the big game, or just relax and stream the content of your choice. Barn doors separate the lower living room area from the third bedroom and sleeping area. The 3rd bedroom is ideal for singles or kids. It has 4 custom built Twin beds and each has an alcove with a light and outlets for plugging in phones or tablets. Since this lower level is sure to get some use, there's a large bathroom accessible from the main room. Also on this lower level you will find access to the heated garage, a large mud room, and the laundry room.
The Land and Location:
Mountain Shadows Estates is a quiet, private, gated, community with large homesite parcels. That said, you will have neighbors, and we seek respectful guests only. This home's lot is right on the ridgeline between Lake Granby and Shadow Mountain Lake. The building site takes advantage of this, and you'll find that every room offers you sweeping views of the lakes, mountains, the Arapaho National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. You can see the Byers Peak Wilderness over by Winter Park, and on a clear day, you can see the Eagle's Nest Wilderness over by Breckenridge and Vail. It's no wonder we call it the Grand Lakeview Lodge.

We visited with family and friends during our Thanksgiving break and were amazed with the property location, hospitality and to top this off with an amazing view. Our stay was fabulous as this house has access to all the amenities and we got a wonderful support and guidance from the host. It will be hard to leave as this feels like a home the minute you walk in and as you are staying so comfortable in the laps of nature that you starting enjoying it truly. Our kids loved this place and so did the adults. We had frequent visits by a herd of Deer and enjoyed the lake view with beautiful scenery from the deck. We will surely be back…
The home was clean upon arrival, the pictures were accurate and it was a pleasant stay.
I have nothing bad to say! It was a magical week with my whole family hubby three girls and their boyfriends! The house was spacious and laid out well! We loved the area, esp Adam’s falls and RMNP. Enjoyed the pool table and lots of group cooking! Was fun to watch everyone step up to the plate. I feel so blessed to have had such a great week in a beautiful location! Truly Gods country!
My wife and I very much enjoyed the view out of every window while staying in this home. The host and homeowner are a real asset to VRBO. If you are headed to the Grand Lake area do not miss booking your time in this home. Words to describe: Peaceful, majestic view, comfortable inside and out, homie, warm, inviting, very secure location and well appointed!!
Our stay was great! Beautiful views. Large house with lots of space. Nice and clean. Had everything we needed.
Beautiful home with spectacular views! We thoroughly enjoyed the home both inside and out. Wonderful amenities and hospitality. A great place to spend a family, summer vacation in the mountains.
We are so glad we chose Grand Lakeview Lodge as our vacation getaway. The view, the house was breathtaking. The house was very accommodating, clean, and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful quiet neighborhood, amazing views, the exterior of the home is beautiful and the interior details are meticulous and well thought out. My wife and I enjoyed our mornings grabbing coffee in Grand Lake, our afternoons spent exploring the nearby trails, and evenings either lounging by the fireplace or playing pool in the basement. We travel a handful of times a year and this house quickly became our favorite in terms of location, views, and overall comfort. We cannot wait to return!!
We had the best time in the most beautiful place, with the most beautiful views and and the most gorgeous home! We will definitely come back!
The property was absolutely amazing views all up to date appliances. We couldn't of pick a better place for the yearly family trip to Colorado. My only complaint and it's very minimal. There's no T.V. in the main kitchen living area which is hugh for my family cause we cook alot and love to watch movies together. With the view of the mountains and the fireplace a T.V. there is a must.....
We really loved our stay by the Rocky Mountain National Park. The house was beautiful, comfortable, clean, and had great amenities with the porch, views, games and puzzles. It was in a convenient location with easy access to the park and town, yet in a secluded setting.
We had the best family vacation! We had three generations enjoy this lovely home with amazing views of the Colorado wilderness. The home is just the right amount of space for four adults and four kids, even for the one rainy day when we used our binoculars to observe wildlife from the living room windows (moose!) The beds are comfortable, the kitchen modern and updated, and the game room fun for all ages. We loved it, and can’t wait to return again.
This is one of the rare times when you book a property and it's at least 10 times better than what's pictured or what you could have imagined. Our family vacation with our two girls, ages 7 and 12, to this property in Grand Lake was simply amazing! When we pulled into the property it took our breath away - When we walked out back and saw the view, it took our breath away - When we went inside, again, it took our breath away. I'm not going to do a room-by-room analysis, as what you see in the photos accurately depicts the home. Paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner, kitchen supplies were all fully stocked and the home is incredibly clean. Best of all, it's located 5 minutes from the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance; we visited each day. There is also a higher amperage outlet in the garage, so if you have a Tesla, as we do but had range anxiety and didn't rent one, just bring an adapter - I believe it's a NEMA 14-15, and you're all set. The views from the home, literally out of all windows, is spectacular - This is like an HGTV Dream Home, seriously. Best of all, the management company and the owner of the property were incredibly polite and hospitable. We are so thankful that the property owners are willing to share this beautiful home with others; because of that, my family had one of the best weeks together, ever! What are you waiting for? Book it!
Highly recommend! Beautiful views from every window. The beds were super comfortable. Very clean. The layout was perfect for the family to spread out or come together for quality time. Close to Granby and Granby Ranch, yet isolated in gated community to feel like you’re the only one on top of the world. Definitely staying again.
Beautiful home with more than we expected. Away from the crowds and a perfect distance from all our winter activities. Highly recommend this top of our list getaway!
The views from the house are amazing. The mountains and lake were so breathtaking. We loved all the fall leaves. FYI all furniture is down and all comforters are down too. We loved the fire pit and fire place inside.
Perfect house and location
We had a wonderful time at this house. It’s perfect for families and close to Grand Lake and RMNP! If we return to Grand Lake, we will stay here again.
Wonderful house and property! Our first stay in Grand Lake. We have been to the national park many, many times, but we have never stayed so close-by and that was great. Beautiful furnishings, great layout, very well stocked kitchen. Thank you!
This was our second time at this beautiful property and we loved it! Spacious, well appointed and the view!! Thank you again
Elegant, top of the line and perfectly located, this home is a dream. My adult children enjoyed the game room, our family could all participate in meal prep in the top notch kitchen and each night we all sat outside admiring the sunsets in complete relaxation. Grand Lake is a perfect location, and, no worries if unable to secure timed entry to RMNP, there are trails galore right from town. Loved the easy Adams Falls Trail. We did not want to leave.
All good!
The house was great! The pictures shown online are an exact depiction of what you will see when you arrive. The owner and manager were great communicators. I highly recommend this property.
