Shadow Park West #150

The overall experience was very good. The location was perfect and the view spectacular. The only complaints that I have are that the trash bins are not adequate for the amount of trash. I had a difficult time fitting mine in the two times I used them. Also, the lack of wi-fi in the unit was very disappointing.

Great location, easy check-in, but the unit is in desperate need of updating, and is not very nice. It felt like the owner bought a lot of the furnishings/supplies/dcor from garage sales. It was not very clean - crumbs in cabinets, dusty and the dishwasher had a terrible odor. We loved the location, but would look for a different unit next time.

The location and view of this property is incredible! Unfortunately we were quite disappointed with the condition of the unit itself... The amenities were as listed, although maintenance and care of the condo could use some attention. The kitchen surfaces appeared mostly clean, but little was left to be admired throughout the rest of the condo. We were thankful that linens and bedding seemed to have been replaced. The bathroom/shower/curtain needs immediate attention and I have contacted the property manager on those details. This was a last minute booking on our part and the property management company was helpful in booking/check-in processes and no issues from the admin perspective. We were unable to address our concerns during our stay, but have reached out as a follow up. I do not plan to stay here in the future, unless as a last resort option. If all you're looking for is a bed and warm place to rest your head, I'm sure this would do just fine. We had higher expectations for this property.

We had a great time, really enjoy the condos overlooking the lakes .... so much so that we came back a second time in as many years.

Grand Lake is right next to Rocky Mountain National Park and there are ATV's and Snow Mobiles to rent close by that you can ride in the Arapaho Forest. Beautiful place and great weather. We will be back.

From start to finish the property management we’re extremely nice and accommodating. We will 100% be staying here again in the future. The view was fantastic, the location was perfect and everyone in the city was just so nice! The only downfall was that the place was just “surface cleaned” this didn’t take away from how great everything else was, I just have an ocd cleaning problem. There were some spots covered in dust, truly dirty light switches and the shower looked as if it had never been scrubbed. Like I said this didn’t make us mad I just got stuff and scrubbed it myself :) thanks again for a lovely vacay!

Great location to town, but not too close for the noise. You have an amazing view of both lakes. The condo has everything you need.

This area is so beautiful! A little close
to neighbors but a gorgeous view!

Our condo was clean and immaculate. The only reservation that I have is that these rental properties should be updated. I felt I was back in the seventies when I entered the property. Windows should be updated and flooring should be replaced!

Awesome trip in the mountains and Grand Lake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without this view, we would not have experienced the majesty and awe of Grand Lake. Condo was extremely outdated and ugly inside, so we spent all our time on deck with view.

This rental location was very nice, close to Grand Lake, with a gorgeous view from the balcony. Condo is "dated" but met our needs. Property managers were very kind, helpful, courteous and were quick to loan us an ironing board and iron.

This unit overlooks Grand Lake township, Grand and Shadow Lakes from high above on a ridge. Absolute perfect views! This unit is very accomodating, however a bit dated an the decor. Woodburning stove really keeps it warm to the point of almost too hot.
Cookware is typical rental equipment: flaking non stick pans, dented pots etc. Plenty of drinking glasses, coffee mugs etc.
Bed was very comfortable. Shower was good with nice pressure.
Overall experience was fantastic and I would recommend staying here any time, as the view is about as good as it gets in the area and we have stayed at several places in and around Grand Lake.
Property management company was very helpful and attentive to our needs.

View of the lake and mountains was accurate.

The condo was nice and the view is amazing!!! We had breakfast every morning at the condo except; one morning we had breakfast at the Sagebrush Bar and Grill and it was amazing. The people of Grand Lake are awesome, they gave us advice on where to eat and things to do. We definitely enjoyed our stay and we will be back. P.S. We loved the parade and fireworks!!!

This second floor condo was perfect for our family of 4. The view from the balcony is unparalleled. The availability of a washer/dryer was handy. Only drawbacks: could use WiFi access and a corkscrew for adults who enjoy an occasional glass of wine. Rental mgt. personnel were very nice and check-in/check-out was efficient.

Great Getaway and spectacular view of the fireworks.

What an incredible view! My daughter and I stayed here while exploring the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park and it was perfect for us. The balcony overlooks Grand Lake and the Mountains, just as in the picture. There was no better way to start and end the day than taking in the beauty of our surroundings while sipping on a beverage. It was a short drive into town for a meal out or to shop, and equally short distance into the park for a day of hiking and exploring. The property managers were also so friendly and wonderful! We could not ask for anything more!

A fabulous view from the living area and the deck overlooking Grand and Shadow Mountain Lakes as well as the quaint little village of Grand Lake from high above the valley in which the beauty lies. Many restaurants are very near offering most every entre one could want. The large number of small specialty shops can keep one busy for days. In addition to the local attractions, Grand lake adjacent to the Rocky Mountain National Park offering wild animal sightings and almost unlimited miles of hiking trails as well as many places to view the beautiful mountains and lush valleys (we also saw these same animals in town if you can imagine). I would highly recommend these accommodations due to location, cleanliness, and amenities(practically everything but food) all of which were accurately described in advance.

The property managers were great to work with, very responsive with open communication when needed. The view from the balcony was amazing.

Easy check in , check out. Freindy staff and also had the hot way ready! A buggy when it's 4 degrees! Great set up at the condo , heat worked wonderful along with fireplace! Awesome-Awesome view of Grand Lake and the town.

View was lovely, accommodations were comfortable.

Grand Mountain Rentals were very pleasant and professional. Their description of the condo was true. We were late arriving due to long line at car rental and they pleasantly assured us they would wait. The condohas a perfectly breathtaking view of the town, lake and mountains. While the interior was adequate, it could use some updating. Overall, it was perfect for our party of 4. The living area and bedrooms are comfortable. The bathrooms are on the small side. We found it comfortable for the amount of time we spent there.

Incredible view. Nice living room. Some drawbacks, though: Would have appreciated a DVD player (seems like standard equipment these days); the rear door could use a screen so that cross-ventilation can occur; an adjustable showerhead might prevent guests from running out of hot water after just two showers; the general approach seems to be to let things go till they absolutely have to be fixed (a faulty kitchen-faucet handle died while we were there); and we could have used an iron and ironing board (also seems like standard equipment). We'd come back if most of these issues were addressed.

This property is delightful. A great place to relax.

Our experience was enjoyable. The property was in a convenient location with a wonderful view. The rooms were comfortable but not updated in case that is important to some. We enjoyed the breakfasts we had at The Sagebrush (good sized and delicious), the dinner we had at The Terrace Inn was excellent and an intimate atmosphere. We were close to Rocky Mountain National Park and enjoyed seeing lots of wildlife as we headed to the entrance to the park every evening. Grand Mountain Rentals, Inc. were very helpful and enjoyable to work with (this trip was a gift so we dealt with them only while in Grand Lake). We would definitely work with them again.

The view is definitely the main selling point for this condo, but the close location to town and trails is definitely a plus as well. The condo itself is fairly basic (and a bit dated), but the price is reasonable given the view and location.

Water pressure in the shower is phenomenal, but that means the hot water doesn't last very long. Since there were only two of us, it wasn't a problem... but larger groups might have an issue with this. A sightly lower-flow shower head would easily solve this.

It would be nice if Grand Mountain Rentals could streamline the check-in/check-out process a bit. Instead of requiring guests to pick up and drop off the keys in town, shouldn't it be possible to provide a lockbox code? Not a big deal, but it would save the guests a bit of time.

The unit was very nicely furnished and clean. A beautiful view of the village, the lake and mountains from the balcony.

Wow! what a view. The place was clean and equipped nicely. Close to town too.

I attended a wedding in Grand Lake and booked Shadow Park West 150 from Grand Mountain Rentals in July 2014. The staff was kind, helpful, and professional which made the booking experience very fast and easy. The view from the deck was surreal...we truly felt like we were in a postcard! The inside of the property was clean and included many amenities but we spent most of the trip enjoying mother nature and the beautiful town of GL. We will definitely be back!
