This is a perfect place for families to gather and have a great time. We could not have found a better place and way to enjoy the experience of the Grand lake area and Rocky Mountain National Park. Having the private lake was the icing on the cake.

Great home, beautifully furnished

This was an absolute gem of a home, very well appointed for groups large and small. They have everything you could dream of, a d everything is very well labeled. Due to the recent fires, the area is a bit barebones, so that's a bit of a drag, but it's still a very nice area. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our time at this cabin! It was the most beautiful place and very well stocked! They have thought of everything! Plenty of toys for the 6 kids we had! We loved fishing off the doc, kayaking and paddle boating! We went over to the river and the kids had a blast! My kids love the outdoors!! They enjoyed the little park on the property also! We would definitely go back to this place! We had moose walking around several times also! Beds were great! I hated to leave!

WOW! AMAZING! AWESOME!

This property is absolutely stunning. This was probably the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. (We stay in several each year) It was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The listing online is very accurate. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had. The kitchen was so well stocked. Everything from utensils, dishes, small appliances, knives, cutting boards, grill tools, were available for use. It was like cooking in my own kitchen at home. The kids used the bikes that were provided. We walked down to the lake, but did not use any of the boats. We enjoyed the outdoor patio furniture and the many hummingbirds. They also left extra hummingbird food already made in the fridge. We filled the feeders once while we were there, not required, but we enjoyed them and wanted to keep them fed. Definitely take time to read the book the owners wrote telling their story about their original cabin and the rebuild after the fire. It's a quick read with lots of pictures. It definitely gave me a real appreciation of the cabin and all the hard work their whole family put into it. I can't say enough about the cabin and the owners, and I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a great family getaway. The five bedrooms and 5-1/2 bathrooms gives everyone their own privacy and there is plenty of space for a large family to hang out together too. It is also a quick drive into town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous Family Fun

Whispering Pines Lodge was everything and more that we anticipated! The owners haven’t missed anything that guests might hope for and enjoy while staying at this beautiful property. The kitchen is fully equipped; the decor was very inviting and quite luxurious; (the 5 bedroom suites were what sold me on this property!) the fire pit on the lovely deck; even a turntable to listen to old lps! the access to the lake and paddle boats and canoe; bikes for riding. It was so very suitable for my family! The close access to the Rocky Mountain National Park was a bonus. We can’t thank the McDowells enough for providing this beautiful space for us to enjoy on our vacation.

There was always something for everyone to do, and perfect for those who wanted to stay at the cabin with the baby! Loved seeing wildlife especially moose! We also loved being able to go into town within a few minutes for all the fun that grand lake has to offer! The owners are wonderful and so easy to contact!

Very well appointed house. Great layout and plenty of room. The location is fantastic - close to Grand Lake, but on it's own little lake. This area was a definite highlight - they also have a lot of lake oriented equipment and bikes to explore. This is definitely a place we will want to rent again for our family and friends trips.
