We loved staying at this property. It was close to everything, yet very quiet area! It was too cool to enjoy the wonderful patio, but we did get to grill out one day. All of the amenities were wonderful especially the kitchen! Loved reading in the cozy loft each morning!
This was a fantastic place to stay for our vacation to RMNP. The rooms were good sized and we really liked that there were three king beds. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to navigate. The DECK though was a show stopper. It is large and well furnished and absolutely beautiful. I contacted the property manager a couple of times via text with questions and got fast responses. We would definitely stay again
The views were amazing. Listening to the river was relaxing; especially lying in bed with the window cracked. The only thing we would change is the couch in the living room. The older guests in our group had a hard time standing up from sitting. Overall we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!!
It was amazing. It felt like we were in the woods, but it was close to Grand Lake. We loved the river and the big porch. The hummingbirds were our entertainment.
Excellent location to the areas around the grand lake area. Had all the items listed in the description as advertised.Only problem was getting up the hill from the river. Only thing needed was a Kurig coffee maker.
We really enjoyed our stay at this riverfront home. Our family of 5 adults and 2 babies had plenty of room to spread out. The house was clean, well stocked and in a beautiful setting. We fished on the river, visited Grand Lake, cooked out, and had wonderful long weekend. Arrival and entering was completely smooth. We were very impressed with the amenities including a lovely game room. Highly recommended!
This beautiful cabin on the Colorado River was the perfect family retreat. Plenty of things to do, including ping pong and darts. We spent most of our time there on the patio, watching hummingbirds or down at the river enjoying the hammock. The house is across the street from a great picnic area where we saw a mother and juvenile moose and white pelicans. The East Inlet trail is a short drive away and a great hike with spectacular views and a waterfall. We were not able to get travel passes, but arrived early enough to enter the trail without them. This was a perfect vacation for us, and we definitely recommend this cabin.
Beautiful home. Deck was simply amazing! Location was perfect - river was stunning and it was also an easy walk to Pine Beach. Very well equipped with basic kitchen needs including spices, olive oil, etc. Saw the Grand Lake fireworks from Pine Beach without the crowds or traffic. Would have been the perfect spot to paddle board or kayak/canoe as well.
