Travel tips
Plan around HOA and house rules: minimum 2-night stay, maximum occupancy 6, and quiet hours after 10:00 PM and before 8:00 AM. Be sure to display the parking pass provided in the condo, and note that trailers/boats/snowmobiles/ATVs can’t be left in the lot except for loading/unloading. For getting around without a car in town, Portal Road & Grand Ave is the closest bus stop (about 279 m).
What guests say
Reviews highlight a comfortable, attractive condo that supports a strong vacation experience in Grand Lake. Guests specifically note responsive, proactive communication from the property managers/hosts when issues arise. A reported drawback was an arrival-time housekeeping problem (the unit not being cleaned after prior guests), though it was addressed quickly. Overall impressions lean strongly positive, reinforced by the high public rating (4.7571435 from 14 reviews).
