Custom log home with incredible views! True Colorado!

Relax and enjoy your stay at a newly built Colorado mountain log cabin! The Whistling Moose 5BR / 3BA log cabin located above Shadow Mountain Reservoir, just 5 miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and close to the Town of Grand Lake. Rocky Mountain National Park offers miles of trails for all hiking abilities, incredible fishing and abundant wildlife. The Town of Grand Lake offers shopping, dining and entertainment activities. There are many boating and fishing opportunities on Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Reservoir and Lake Granby, all within a 1 to 5 mile drive from the cabin!

Built in 2024, this fully furnished mountain lodge offers all modern amenities coupled with the comfort of a custom log home in a secluded mountain setting. Relax on the spacious back deck and take in the views ranging from the Never Summer mountain range in Rocky Mountain National Park to the Gore Range to the south. Listen to the burble of the Colorado river, as it winds through the valley below. Grab a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise from the front deck, overlooking shadow mountain reservoir and the Town of Grand Lake. Moose, deer, fox and other wildlife are often seen wandering through the area. Take in the stars on a clear night while you sit on the deck listening to the headwaters of the Colorado River below.

For the adventurous soul or the weekend warrior, activities abound! In the summer, there is world class fishing, hiking, 4 wheeling, site seeing, boating and many other water sports. Practice your swing at one of the 5 pro golf courses in the Grand Lake area. Check out the boat rental and other water activities at the Trail Ridge Marina, just about a half mile from the cabin! Bring your paddle boards or kayaks and enjoy the serenity of the islands on Shadow Mountain Reservoir. Winter in Grand Lake means snow sports. Enjoy miles of trails from the cabin or adventure in to Rocky Mountain National Park; snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling options are endless! If you prefer downhill skiing, a short drive to Granby Ranch (19 miles) or Winter Park / Mary Jane (34 miles) will give you an incredible day on the slopes!

Very comfortable, spacious, beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. Well stocked with everything our extended family of 10 needed for an enjoyable stay. Great location as well, with very easy access to Grand Lake, RMNP and the surrounding towns. We also enjoyed birdwatching from the deck and were delighted to see a mama and baby moose near the river on our first morning. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

My husband and I along with 2 other couples enjoyed a long, wonderful weekend at the Whistling Moose. We came to celebrate my 60th birthday and this property was absolutely perfect for us. The location, layout, and all the amenities made this one of the nicest vacation rentals I’ve ever experienced. I would love to return sometime and would highly recommend it to other folks looking for a beautiful place to unite with friends and family.

Beautiful Home! Fantastic Location!

We enjoyed our stay over Memorial weekend. This was a beautiful home with views of the mountains and river from the back deck. The hosts had the basic amenities stocked like laundry and dishwasher supplies, which was nice to have on hand. Town was only a short drive away.

We stayed at Trish and Joel's mountain home for a family celebration. Their house was perfect for our multi-generational family (we had 13 people, ages 3 - 80). The house was spotless and cozy and had everything ewe needed. We appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked and there was ample space and seating for everyone to eat and hang out. They left helpful recommendations for activities, the neighborhood was great, and the views were amazing. Highly recommend!

We went for a Patoon ride on Grand Lake, visited downtown Grand Lake for shopping, and went for hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park. Trish was extremely helpful and very responsive. We would easily stay there again and highly recommend staying there if visiting the Grand Lake area.

Stayed in this new log home--absolutely gorgeous! The location was great, close to Shadow Mountain and Grand Lakes. The deck was our go to spot in the evening overlooking the river and turning on the firepit! Many spaces to enjoy the incredible view--my favorite was the loft by the fireplace! Main suite was very comfortable and all the bedrooms were beautifully decorated and welcoming. I highly recommend this home for any size group!

Definitely Staying Here Again

This log home is a peaceful retreat that captivates from the moment you arrive. The brand new build brings rustic charm and matches perfectly with the natural surroundings. The spacious interior is built for making memories with friends and also finding quiet moments away. The wooden beams, stone fireplace, and large windows give way to breathtaking views of the river on one side and tranquil reservoir on the other. Loved the bunk room for the kiddos and easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park and Grand Lake. Whether savoring morning coffee on the deck or cozying up by the fire under a starlit sky, this idyllic retreat is perfect for families, friends, nature enthusiasts, hikers, and more. With its perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty, this log home gave us an unforgettable escape.
