We are extremely grateful to share our Mountain Lodge with you, your family and friends. This is a newer home (2015) and offers comfort, space and seclusion with unbelievable views. Our continued focus on providing a super clean, welcoming, and comfortable home will greet you as you walk in the front door. Breathe in as you bask in the un-paralleled Columbine Lake and Mount Craig (Mount Baldy) views out our panoramic windows, as you walk up the stairs into our expansive, open concept great room. Vaulted ceilings, tall windows and natural light beaming the sparkling sun of the Rocky Mountains will warm your heart. Enjoy your coffee while taking in the views of the lake and the Continental Divide from the comfort of our living area that has ample comfortable seating. Take a step out onto the large deck to feel that clean mountain air touching your spirit and connecting you with our beautiful Colorado Mountains. Moose, deer, fox and elk regularly wander through the neighborhood and our yard. As you gaze at the sparkling water of the local lake, let your mind travel to another universe.
Our home offers an expansive kitchen with a double gas range/oven and TWO islands for serving your family during all special occasions. Create family memories having meals together or playing games at the dining table that seats up to 12. Move your party to the spacious deck and take in the incredible sunrise or reverse sunset on the Continental Divide. Barbecue your favorite meal on the propane gas grill while eagles hover over the pines, aspen and shimmering lake.
The kitchen is fully equipped to offer you and your entire group everything you need to prepare your family meal and still take in the view.
On a cool night, enjoy the gas living room fireplace and the serene quiet or starry skies. If you still desire a connection with the entertainment world, check out the new LG 65” LED smart TV.

If you can pry yourself away from our family lodge, you are within minutes of the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance, as well as the Arapahoe National Forest System with miles of hiking, biking, or snowshoeing in the winter. Historic Grand Lake shops, bars and restaurants are all within a couple of minutes. Wander the strip or take your fishing gear and fetch your dinner in the glacier formed Grand Lake. Boating, snowmobiling, tubing, golfing, snowshoeing, skiing, hiking, biking … all here… Nature has provided serenity in this unbelievable back drop of peacefulness. Within 2 minutes of our Lodge is the Grand Lake Golf Course which converts to the Nordic Center and tubing hill in the winter. Winding River Resort is nearby as well, which offers horseback, sleigh and pony trail rides, as well as cowboy cookouts and breakfasts. There is also an ATV/Snowmobile outfitter right inside the National Park or Grand Lake itself. In town, visit the shops and restaurants or take in a musical at the Rocky Mountain Repertoire Theater (summer months mostly). Rent watercraft, anything from paddle boards to pontoons and get out on the chain of Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Lake and Lake Granby. Take a walk around the local community lake (*Columbine Lake) right at the property.
Please note that amenities and use of Columbine Lake are not available to renters, but the view of it comes with the lodge, and the paths and trails outside our door are there for you to explore. Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Lake and Lake Granby are all within minutes for your enjoyment.
You will never want to leave. We welcome you to Bear View Lodge, our Grand Lake vacation home.
