Lakeview-Escape by Mountain Vacation Lodging is a beautiful new home with panoramic views of Shadow Mountain Lake, Grand Lake, Downtown Grand Lake, and Rocky Mountain National Park. The home's bedrooms, living rooms, and decks are perfectly positioned to help you enjoy the amazing views. The Lakeview-Escape is a pet friendly home that was built in 2021 and furnished in 2022. You'll find very good quality finishes and furnishings throughout, as well as newer architectural features such as the larger size of the bedrooms, big picture windows, and high tech TVs that turn into artwork when they're not in use. There's also no shortage of space. In addition to the gigantic primary living area, the house has a secondary living room with a pool table, a sleeper sofa, and massive HDTV. Spread out and relax, or gather together - your choice! Please read on for more details on this fantastic property.

The Property:
The home is laid out on 3 levels, which allows each bedroom and both living rooms to have its own views of the lakes and mountains. You enter on the middle level, which includes the two Queen bedrooms. For the two King bedrooms, you'll have only one flight of stairs up or down to your bedroom. The great room is on the upper level. This large open room combines a truly large kitchen with living and dining areas that ties together nicely. The rock work surrounding the fireplace match the kitchen island and backsplash and beautiful hardwood floors throughout the space create a consistent and luxurious mountain chic style. The primary dining table is right next to the kitchen area, and easily accommodates 6 adults. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and a fridge with filtered water and ice. A large island offers lots of counter space for appetizers and includes comfy seating for 3. Loads of cabinet space plus a pantry ensure you have places to put things away and keep things looking tidy. The living room couch is leather and plush, a comfy place to relax and enjoy the warmth of the oversized gas fireplace. The HDTV redefines programming by looking like a painting or rotating through a set of images when it's not streaming cable shows. The great room also includes secondary dining or game table, a ceiling fan, and access to the upper level deck. The deck is quite large and includes a dual grill - gas on one side, charcoal on the other. Whichever you prefer, this is one amazing place to grill up some lunch or dinner. From here your view stretches across Shadow Mountain Lake and Byer's Peak all the way across town, Grand Lake itself, and up to Mt. Craig, or as locals call it, "Baldy." The upper deck can also be accessed from the first and best of the bedrooms. This room puts the treat in retreat. It has a King size bed, a desk with monitor, ceiling fan, amazing views, and a large bathroom suite. The bathroom suite includes a walk in closet, dual sinks, and a beautiful shower. This ensuite bathroom is truly private, thanks to the half bathroom, which is also on the upper level.

Let's head downstairs, to the lower level. Here you'll find the second living room, bedroom 2, and the second full bathroom. Bedroom 2 has a King size bed positioned just perfectly to let you wake up to views of Grand Lake and Mount Craig. The bedroom has a good amount of space as well as a double door closet and a ceiling fan. The lower level bathroom has a large walk in shower, and is just outside of the bedroom. Though it is not an "ensuite" bathroom, this is actually a good thing. Since there is only one bedroom on this level, if no one is using the sleeper sofa, the lower level bathroom becomes a de facto private bathroom. If there is someone using the sleeper sofa, they can use the bathroom without disturbing someone in the bedroom. You'll definitely want to use this lower level living room at some point. The pool table and massive HDTV create a really nice space to enjoy. Also, if it ever happens to actually get hot in the Grand Lake area, something that is pretty rare even these days, this lower level will stay cool. It is worth mentioning that like virtually every home in the Grand Lake area, this home does not have air conditioning. At 8300 feet in elevation, truly hot afternoons are rare, and for most locals, they are treasured more than they are dreaded! That said, if it does get too warm for your liking, note that this home has ceiling fans in all bedrooms, plust the main living room, and the second living room on the lower level stays cooler, offering you a cool respite.

The middle level, or entry level, includes the garage and entry area, or "mud room." There's coat racks and closets, space to store your gear, as well as benches where you can remove boots or shoes and prepare to relax. This level also includes bedrooms 3 and 4, as well as a laundry room, and another large deck. This deck is immediately below the upper level deck, and is the same size, but being below the upper deck, offers some shade. It's views of the lakes and mountains are nearly identical to those from the upper level. Bedroom 3 is a corner bedroom, and like bedroom 1, it has 270 degree views of the lakes and mountains. It has a Queen bed and direct access to the deck. Bedroom 4 also has a Queen bed and deck access, and like bedroom 2, the bed position allows you to wake up to views of Mount Craig. The third full bathroom is found off the hall, in between bedrooms 3 and 4, and like all of the other bathrooms, has very nice quality finishes.

Location:
This location is prime! You are within easy walking distance of downtown Grand Lake. In less than 10 minutes you'll be at the Mountain Market, the Meandering Moose Mini-Golf, or the many shops and restaurants that help make Grand Lake so quaint and interesting. The home is elevated above downtown Grand Lake by just enough to give you those spectacular views, but not so much to make the walk too difficult. If the weather is not ideal for walking, or your group includes elderly, mobility impaired, or individuals with breathing difficulties, the drive into town is about 2 minutes. Of course there are a lot of other places to go in this area, and this location certainly makes it easy to get to them as well. The entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is about 1 mile away, and there are so many trailheads, lakefront beaches and parks, all just a short easy drive from the home.

Arrival, Access, and Parking:
Once you book, we're here to support you. We provide you with arrival instructions and answers to any specific questions you might have. Please note, to drive to this property in seasons when snow is possible or likely, 4WD or AWD and good tires are required. (You have to drive up a hill to get great views!) Once you've parked, accessing this property requires only one step. With only one flight of stairs up to the main level, this home is a pretty good option even for those who might have difficulty with stairs. Parking is provided for up to 4 or 5 vehicles but please note - trailers are not allowed. The garage is a 1 car garage, and any other vehicles will park immediately in front of the garage, nose to tail. There is space to back up and turn around, but not if you have a trailer. So, if you have a trailer, you'll need to make plans for where to park it, off site. Please contact us for thoughts or suggestions related to off site parking.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us before booking.

** Amenities - Some private or shared amenities may not be available for guest use during certain periods. Some amenities, when part of a property, may close daily, seasonally, or for maintenance. As such, all amenities can not be guaranteed to be available at all times. Please advise us when or before booking if you have questions about a specific property amenity so that we can give you the most accurate information possible for your dates.

** Air Conditioning - Most mountain resort properties were not built with air conditioning. During most hours of the day and weeks of the year, AC is not needed. Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.

** Pets & Fees - “Pet Friendly” means Dog Friendly only. If a property is pet friendly, then a per pet, per night fee will apply. Some online booking sites, such as VRBO, do not allow us to list the maximum number of pets per property. If you are renting a pet friendly property, and will have more than one dog, please reach out prior to booking to verify if the home will allow more than one dog. Additional fees will apply for more than 1 dog.

** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.

** Video & Noise Monitoring - Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.

** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended. For guests who are booking a lengthy stay of more than one week, a mid stay-cleaning fee equal to the final cleaning fee may apply for the second week, third week, and so on. If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc.
