Updated Cabin with Lake & Mountain Views Near Town

Welcome to Highwood House

Welcome to our updated Grand Lake mountain retreat, where panoramic, unobstructed lake and mountain views meet a comfortable, modern mountain-cabin feel.

We bought Highwood House as a family retreat and have thoughtfully remodeled and furnished it from top to bottom. The result is a warm, inviting home that combines the character of a Colorado mountain cabin with the comforts you want after a day of exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, hiking, boating, skiing, or simply relaxing in Grand Lake.

The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious loft, and a large deck with incredible views. It's designed to be equally comfortable for families, friends, or couples travelling together.

The Great Room

The heart of the house is an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with plenty of room to gather.

The fully stocked kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare a meal at home, while the generous farmhouse dining table seats up to eight comfortably with the leaf installed.

After a day outside, settle into the brand-new Crate & Barrel sofa, play a game, read a book, or watch a film on the 50" LED TV. A Blu-ray/DVD player and cable TV are also available.

Music lovers will appreciate the Sonos system, with stereo speakers that let you enjoy your own music throughout the house using Spotify or internet radio.

Two Ensuite Bedrooms

Highwood House has two comfortable ensuite bedrooms, each with:

Queen-size bed
Private 3/4 bathroom
Walk-in closet
Comfortable, brand-new mattress
Luxury linens and down pillows
Light-blocking curtains

The two ensuite bedrooms make the house particularly comfortable for two couples or families travelling with grandparents or friends.

The Loft

Upstairs, a spacious 12' x 16' loft provides a separate sleeping and hangout space.

The loft has two twin beds, a comfortable chair for reading, and a table that's perfect for games, puzzles, or a quiet afternoon. For families with younger children, we also provide bed rails for both twin beds.

The Deck & Views

One of our favourite features of Highwood House is the 400+ square-foot deck, surrounded by aspen trees and overlooking the lake and mountains.

Enjoy dinner at the six-person outdoor dining table, fire up the BBQ grill, or pull up an Adirondack chair and enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the panoramic, unobstructed views.

The house isn't directly on the lake, but its elevated setting gives you a wonderful perspective over the water and surrounding mountains.

Family-Friendly

Highwood House was designed with families in mind. In addition to the loft's twin beds and optional bed rails, we provide:

Pack 'n Play
Booster seat
Bed rails for both twin beds
Child-friendly plates and cups
Games and puzzles

There's plenty of space for everyone to spread out while still having a comfortable central gathering place.

Thoughtfully Updated

Completely remodeled kitchen
Both bathrooms remodeled down to the studs
New solid-surface worktops
New bamboo flooring throughout

The home retains its mountain-cabin character while offering the updated finishes, comfort, and conveniences we wanted for our own family.

A Great Home Base for Grand Lake

Whether you're spending the day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, hiking one of the area's many trails, enjoying the lake, skiing in the winter, or simply relaxing with a book on the deck, Highwood House makes a comfortable home base for your Grand Lake getaway.

Come enjoy the views, the mountains, and a cabin that's designed to feel like a real home—not just a place to sleep.
