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.
