Recent Reviews in Grand Lake

Lone Pine Cabins

8/10 Good

"Cabin is very clean, which is nice because I am kind of a clean freak. The cabin, I would consider more along the lines of a hunting or fishing cabin. It’s older on the inside & dated, however it’s very reasonably priced & clean for a one night stay. Communication with the host was quick by text, number located on office door. Check in was easy, digital door locks. Very close to Rocky Mountain National Park & easy to find. Downtown area is great! I highly recommend Bighorn Bagels & Otherside Gear & Coffee Shop & Fire Fly Pizza. We enjoyed our stay."

Big Horn Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The price was good, location was great, loved the Keurig Coffee in the room. Beds were comfortable. The only issue was the TV - the gal at the front desk had to rig it to get it to the correct input (she showed me what to do but I forgot), so in order to make sure we were able to watch the news in the morning we just left it on all night. The wifi kept going on and off so we finally just removed it from our phones. Other than issues with technology, the room was fine."

Lone Eagle Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We were late arrivals and things went very smoothly with key pickup. We were also early departing (hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park), and that worked fine also. We have stayed there several times in the last few years, and it's always a good experience, right there in downtown Grand Lake. And, they had an absolute fabulous October / Halloween displays throughout the parking lot, very entertaining and fun."
