This Grand Lake retreat has a spacious custom home designed for families and groups to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the best of Colorado’s mountains and lakes.


With views of Shadow Mountain Lake, the mountains, and the valley, there is plenty of space to spend time together without everyone feeling on top of each other. The home sleeps up to 16 guests and includes four bedrooms, a terrace-level family room, Crow’s Nest, 3.5 bathrooms, multiple decks and outdoor spaces, and a three-stop elevator serving the terrace, main, and bedroom levels.

The main level centers around a large, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an island with seating for six. There’s also a nearby dining table that seats eight, creating plenty of space for everyone to come together for meals, games, or just hanging out. It works just as well for coffee and a quick breakfast before heading into Rocky Mountain National Park or out to the lake as it does for cooking dinner, sharing a meal, and relaxing together after a day in the mountains.

The living and dining areas open up to a large deck with plenty of room for meals, morning coffee, or relaxing at the end of the day. There is also a natural gas grill and fire pit, so there are no propane tanks to worry about.

Primary Bedroom

The primary suite has a king-size Tempur-Pedic mattress and its own private deck overlooking Shadow Mountain Lake. It is a great spot for morning coffee, reading, or just taking in the view. The room also includes a television, ceiling fan, and private bathroom.

Primary Bathroom

The primary bathroom has a large soaking tub set into a stone grotto, a custom travertine shower with dual showerheads and a built-in bench, freestanding sinks, and a frameless glass shower enclosure.

Bedroom Two

Bedroom two has a queen bed with lake and mountain views. It shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with bedroom three and has its own private vanity.

Bedroom Three

Bedroom three has a queen bed, walk-in closet, and west-facing valley views. It also connects to the Jack-and-Jill bathroom and has its own private vanity.

Terrace-Level Bedroom

The fourth bedroom is on the terrace level and has a queen bed, large closet, and convenient access to a full bathroom.

Crow’s Nest

The Crow’s Nest is one of our favorite spaces in the house, with great views of the lake, island, and surrounding mountains. It has two twin beds, a built-in bar with a mini refrigerator, a desk/work area, and a television.

Please note that the elevator does not go to the Crow’s Nest, so this level does require stairs.

Terrace-Level Family Room
The lower-level family room gives everyone another place to spread out and works especially well for kids or families. It includes queen-size bunk beds, a futon, television, and additional sleeping space.

The heated garage also doubles as a game room, with:

Commercial air hockey table
Arcade system with more than 60 games
Plenty of room for a little friendly competition

Throughout the house, you’ll also find smart TVs, games, Wi-Fi, and plenty of different places to relax after a day on the lake or in the mountains.

One of the things we enjoy most about the house is being outside. The large deck and other outdoor spaces give you plenty of options for enjoying the views and Colorado mountain air.

Outdoor features include:

Large outdoor dining and seating area
Natural gas grill
Natural gas fire pit
Lake, mountain, and valley views
Multiple decks and balconies
