Had a wonderful stay! house was very clean and comfortable. Thr kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Watching the sun come up in the mornings out the big picture windows was amazing. It was a really nice place to come into after our ventures every day.

Had a wonderful stay at Grand Lake in the Thompson Lodge - house was clean and welcoming, we had a small hiccup with sheets for the fold out bed that was fixed within an hour of our arrival. Overall a wonderful property & we would stay there again!

We enjoyed the large deck outside. The house updates are very nice and well done. We loved the large windows and views and watched deer and a moose grazing in the backyard. Would definitely book again.

We loved our time here. We spent a week with my parents, my aunt and uncle and my husband and me. We truly felt so relaxed and comfortable. Our host left instructions which were clear and we could tell that it was important to them that we enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much for a summer vacation that we will always remember as a wonderful time to spend time with family.

House was very comfortable. Area immediately around house was fair, but nondescript. Close to western entrance to the park. Need to go to Granby, 20 -30 minutes away for supermarket.

Loved the house and location. Only thing disappointing was grill was not working. Only 1/2 the burners worked toward the back and non in front.

Our stay was just as amazing as last year when we first stayed here. We were disappointed that we could not use the fire place this time, but understand due to the forest fire risk. We love the little shops in Gand Lake downtown area. And the town of Winter Park with all its restaurants, community center, indoor swimming pool, bowling, and ice skating! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us again!

Lovely home, very spacious and clean. Comfortable furniture. I would definitely stay here again. No A/C which was a little adjustment for us during afternoons and at night, but most windows can be easily opened and fans made it comfortable. We enjoyed the upstairs loft where we could watch movies as a family. Also liked the spacious areas to sit and drink morning coffee. Location is fantastic, only a few minutes drive to access the RMNP and Grand Lake.

This place is perfect! It’s tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, and still close enough to do lots of activities. A few days of fishing on Lake Granby and nearby Wolford Mt reservoir. There are also a lot of hiking trails in the area. And close enough to Grand Lake and Granby for dining. The house is spacious and the kitchen has everything we needed. Games and puzzles as well as a nice family room with a big TV. The beds are very comfortable. The wildlife was even a bit active as we saw some moose, deer, and a fox cone through the yard almost nightly. We’ll definitely be back.

Thompson Lodge was far and away the best vacation rental we've ever had in15 years. The floorplan was fabulous (it would be a great house for a large group to stay). There were plenty of kitchen countertops to prepare meals. The house was clean and fully stocked with extra towels, pillows and blankets. The ceiling fans, along with opening the windows, kept the house plenty cool, even with above the average temperatures Colorado was experiencing. The house was fairly private and a short drive to Grand Lake and RMNP.

I work nonstop and this is the one time a year I get a break from the busyness of it all. Our usual cabin was not taking bookings so we stayed here. So glad we did. There are plenty of sitting areas to sit and read or play games as a family. Nice area outside to play in the snow and practice our Texas style sledding. It truly was the best trip to Colorado we’ve had and we go every year. Thanks Thompson lodge!

It was very warm while we were there and the house did not have air conditioning so it was uncomfortable sleeping. Overall it was good. Close to town, very quiet and the house was well equipped

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 nights. Close enough to town, but far enough to enjoy the quiet. Beautiful peaceful surroundings, quality interior, fully equipped kitchen, most comfortable bed ever, great communications with property mgrs. complete information provided beforehand. Would definitely stay here again. Oh and we had a moose and deer visit us twice and those were the the times we saw them. Also bring in your hummingbird feeders at night or a little bandit raccoon will kindly tip them as he stands on the rail and drink them dry lol. Thank you Thompson Lodge.

My spouse and I stayed at this lovely home for several days over Labor Day weekend to do some hiking. House was clean and well-stocked. I am severely allergic to dust mites and detergents, and did not have any problems here. We enjoyed the views of the mountains from the upstairs sitting area. House does not have air conditioning but with windows and fans, we were comfortable. The main level bedrooms stayed cooler than the upstairs master. The property is in a quiet neighborhood, but also close enough to town to get supplies. Mountain Market in Grand Lake is quite small and often crowded; we had better success at City Market in Granby. Overall, great place for us to explore the west side of RMNP and the Never Summer mountains. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Our family recently spent a week in beautiful Grand Lake and really enjoyed our time at this property. Everything in the house worked great and even though we were there during the hottest time of year there were plenty of fans to keep the house temperature cool. It is minutes from downtown Grand Lake and the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. While it was missing a few kitchen items that would of been nice to have we managed just fine. We would definitely recommend the property invest in more/better pillows in all bedrooms. It also was a little odd to have an empty 3-stall garage that could not be used. This would be nice in the event of bad weather. Overall though it was a great experience and would recommend to others.

This place was PERFECT. The home had every convenience we could think of. This was our first ever time visiting Colorado. Our wonderful family dog passed away after 12 years with us, and we were desperate to get out of our house away from our own broken hearts with the kids who missed their furry friend terribly. We always wanted to visit Colorado and this was just the trip we needed to regroup our shattered souls. We had no idea where to go or what there was to do. For people with zero experience with the state, much less the Grand Lake area, this property was an absolutely ideal location and we can't believe how lucky we were to find such a perfect spot on accident and on a whim. The house has an incredible rural feel; that very isolated feeling you WANT to feel on a Colorado get away. And yet you're really only 10-15 minutes away from a really great small town with all the modern convenience of home; hot coffee, a grocery store with a surprising selection, restaurants, boutiques, and gift shops. Not only that but the house is located on the very cusp of Rocky Mountain National Park. Maybe 5 minutes away from the town, 15-20 minutes away from the house. You can travel across the entire park in an hour and a half and pop out in Estes. Which, from what I understand is a huge tourist destination and a very popular spot. It was neat, but I wouldn't trade Estes for Grand Lake EVER. Grand lake and this house felt like you walked into a picture book fantasy land. There were elk everywhere! We saw a moose cross the yard! A bear visited the town to poke around! There is so much to do just outside your door, and I cannot stress enough how perfectly located this home is. It is simultaneously in the middle of it all, AND tucked away privately. You get the best of both at this property. The home itself is beautiful. Everything was in working order and if you thought "it would be nice to have..." Before you could finish the thought, there it was. It had all appliances and a bunch of nonperishables, cooking oils, seasonings, dressings... Things you spend money on at rentals like this and end up throwing away 3/4 used and hating yourself for being wasteful. Not here! There were enough towels for everyone, and the house was spotless. A giant window offered stunning views of the mountains. The seating and beds were incredibly comfortable. There were all the appliances you could find in your own home. We loved it here. We will absolutely be back again
