The cabin is located just 3 miles south of Grand Lake, only a 5 minute drive into town. Venture into Rocky Mountain National Park, located just 5 minutes away or be at the slopes in Winter Park in just 35 minutes!

The cabin features a big yard with an outdoor fire pit and seating that may be used in the summer/fall (typically May-October) when there are not burn bans. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom with a walk in shower. The living room features a TV with access to Hulu & Netflix. The cabin is stocked with all of the essentials you should need during your stay including basic toiletries, towels, linens, and cookware. There is also a small drink station featuring coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

Two parking spaces are available in front of the cabin. If you plan on bringing a boat/caravan, please inform us ahead of time so we can accommodate a parking space nearby for you.

Things to note: Because of the cabin`s easy access to roads, this cabin will not offer absolute silence and seclusion and may not be the place for you. The cabin is located right off of the highway, so you will hear highway noises during your stay. We provide ear plugs for you if you are sensitive to the noise at night. In winter, this proximity is appreciated by guests because of the snow and ploughed roads. Like most mountain homes in this area, there is also proximity to neighbors.

The cabin has a key-less entry lock. A code will be provided upon booking.

We recommend having a car to get around during your trip. There is phenomenal hiking, wildlife, skiing, and hot springs all within a 30 minute drive of the cabin!

If you are travelling during the winter months, December through March, we highly recommend an AWD or 4x4 vehicle so that you don`t have any issues getting over the pass. Winter weather can start as early as October and go as late as May. Please check the weather and plan ahead!

For severe weather, we do have a strict cancellation policy as defined by Airbnb. However, we are sensitive to those travelling in the mountains when the weather is capable of shutting down the roads. If highways are closed due to severe weather, we will provide at minimum a partial refund for the night(s) affected by closed roads. If the highways are open, the remaining nights will still be charged full price. Typically, roads are not closed for more than 24 hours at a time.

There is a $300 deposit for the cabin. It is not charged to you upon booking, only reserved in the case of damage or theft. If something gets damaged or broken, please let us know and we will figure out a solution.

**There are two main routes into Grand Lake if you are coming from the East. The quickest way is to take I-70 to Berthoud Pass. Denver to Grand Lake is a 2 hour drive. The second route, over Trail Ridge Road through RMNP is more scenic and costs $25/car. If you drive from Denver, over Trail Ridge Road and into Grand Lake it is about a 3 hour drive.
**Please note that Trail Ridge Road is closed throughout the winter as most of the road is above treeline. Please visit https://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/road_status.htm to check daily closures of the road.

Please note that if you cancel a booked reservation, and it is within the timeframe for a full refund, you will receive the refund minus the credit card processing fee of 2.9%.
