Lakeview Lodge

Excellent views from this wonderful home on Shadow Mountain Lake. The large deck is perfect for lounging while on vacation. My only complaint would be that we would have preferred not to have to go to the office for check-in and check-out as most other properties seem to operate off an on-site lockbox system these days.

We celebrated my husband's retirement with a surprise trip to Grand Lake. It was a great time! The house is beautiful with wonderful views. Loads of activities near by and some fun shopping down in town. There are several gathering places in the home, with the living room right together with the kitchen. Super bowl was enhanced by the Big television there. We hope to go there again sometime!

This home was a great location to all our hikes and excursions. The outside deck was great to relax with a glass a wine and take in the beautiful views.

Very relaxing home overlooking Shadow Mountain with large deck for morning coffee with family. Also beautiful view for evening dinner and drinks after day on lake.

We absolutely loved our stay. The house is stunning and is well located close to the National Park entrance and to Grand Lake town. Beautiful view of the lake. The house was perfect with views from every room. We had a Moose family visiting one afternoon. We highly recommend it!

We love this place! We have been back multiple times. The cabin is clean, updated and well maintained. The management company is professional, responsive and loves the town of Grand Lake. The deck has an incredible view and is a very relaxing spot. I’d buy this property if I had the chance, it’s that great! We’ll keep coming back!

My family and I stayed at this property over Christmas this year and absolutely LOVED it. We only wished we could've stayed longer! It's a beautiful home with an even more gorgeous view of the lake & snow-covered Rocky Mountains.
The management company was so helpful, they answered all of our questions prior to our stay and made check-in & check-out super easy.
The home is an easy drive to Granby Ranch, where we spent a day skiing, but the real pleasure we took was enjoying cozy family time in this beautiful home.
I will say that the wifi wasn't very strong, in case that's important to some visitors. However, that made it much easier for all of us to unplug from our phones & work emails and instead play cards, board games, read books & cook meals together. We'd come back in a heartbeat! Thank you for making our holiday so special.

This home in Grand Lake was the picture-perfect spot for our family trip. The home was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Even with a full house, we never felt crowded. After reading the reviews about the pullout I was bit apprehensive and reached out to the mgt company who advised they had recently changed the mattress, my teenage age son slept well and wasn't grumpy, which was a win! Wifi worked, was a bit slower than we are were used to in the city, but this is mountain living which is exactly what we were looking for, relaxing and enjoying each others company. We will defiantly stay here again!

Overall this was a great vacation rental. The directions need work as the property was a bit hard to find. Also frustrating that you had to take your trash into town or else pay $50. Upstairs sleeper sofa was very uncomfortable and almost unusable as a bed. Water pressure was very low and often a sink or shower would not work if something else was running at the same time.

My family and I stayed at the Lakewview Lodge for 4 nights during July 2019. There were 8 of us and the house was a nice size. The kitchen was equipped well, nice size refrigerator, stove, microwave. We were planning to use the queen sleeper, but found it to be very, very uncomfortable, so had an adult sleep on the couch. Nice parking area, garage was locked, did not use. Very nice deck, tables, chairs. Property Managers were very helpful. Beds were nice and sofas comfy. Bunk beds in very small room, but good for kids.
Would stay at the house again in the future. Lake view was amazing!

A few negatives:
No Internet service, which Property Mgr. let us know at check-in.
Grill--no propane and very dirty.
Several light bulbs needed to be replaced.
Only 1 trash bag left in the house, asked for more.
Dish towels--only 2, would have liked 4 or more.
Only 1 roll of paper towels.
Plug in bathtub did not work.Nice jetted tub, but could not use.
Suggest replacing queen sofa with a newer sofa or a comfortable futon.

Love the location. Close to town yet far enough away. Beautiful view of lake. It was July so rather warm in afternoon. Could use some screens on windows that open. I brought 4 fans. Elk in our backyard.

We had a really great time in Grand Lake. This was our second stay at this house. It's a beautiful house that looks out over the Grand Lake. Lots of room for the kids and adults to hang out!

Manager's Response

Clean, great views, well stocked. Sewer system slow. Don't put paper down toilet. Water pressure slow if more than one source going.

Manager's Response

The location and view of the Grand and Shadow lakes was great. The exterior of property was in okay shape but was surprised how such a nice house lacked in exterior upkeep/maintenance. However, the management company (Ralph & Calese) did a great job of fixing any issues. Overall, the house was perfect for a family (8 in our group) and would be a nice place to stay.

Manager's Response

We had the most amazing stay at the house in Grand Lake. The view was stunning, the house was very spacious and had everything we needed including games, a fire place, a bbq grill, a stocked kitchen. I could go on and on. We couldnt have found a better place!

Our stay at Hilltop Lodge was great. We had a small issue with the water, called Grand Mountain Rentals, and someone came to check it out quickly. The house has a great deck space with a beautiful view and the interior provides room to spread out. It's proximity to Grand Lake and Rocky Mountain National Park is ideal.

Awesome house. Great View. Could see 4th of July Fireworks from the deck. Would definitely rent again.

We had a great time. Great view. Family from out of state wants to move here. They had a great time. We will be calling for a rental when they come back out in 2019.

prooerty was just as advertised. The staff was very helpful & accomodating! I'd recommend this property!

The home worked great for our party. The only thing that could be improved was the kitchen utensils and pots and pans could be better stocked.

We met in Grand Lake for a quick vacation with extended family. The scenery was spectacular - we had a moose come visit early one morning! - the town very friendly, and the house was roomy. The deck was spacious, and very comfortable. A couple of disappointments - the kitchen was not as well stocked as other places we've rented - only one dishcloth, and no pitcher, grill brush, coffee filters, etc. It would be OK if you were driving in and could bring things from home, but with us flying in from VA, that was a bit tough. Our biggest frustration was the trash policy: everything had to be hauled in to town to a dumpster. If we had been there for more than 3 days, that would have meant multiple trips. All in all, though, a nice place to visit.

The house was beautiful and spacious. Great location for the weekend of wedding celebrations. There are no cab services in town - and the cabin is a bit outside of town. We did have a shuttle for the wedding, so that was helpful for getting back and forth (although the shuttle cannot go up the road - so you have to walk). There were a few items that were broken in the house and it seemed like it needed a bit of maintenance and attention; but overall, it was a nice house.

Very nice updated cabin with a great view. Great scenery from the deck. We had a moose walk right by back Windows of house one morning. Matresses could be a bit more comfotable for the price but overall a really great place.

Great place to stay! My only complaint was not able to use the fireplace. Although it's not listed in the description, it shows in the pictures. It's Colorado mountains and winter, it never crossed my mind that we wouldn't be able to use it. If you enjoy a fireplace on your vacation inquire about the fireplace before you book.

Awesome house with an awesome view.I wish I owned it.

Beautiful home that easily accomodated our family getaway. House is beautiful and spacious. Deck outside lends itself to very restful gatherings for outdoor grilling and socializing. Easy access to all the area activities.
