Newly built Log Cabin by Private Lake with use of boats & bikes; 5-BD, by RMNP

***Instant booking is available on this property. After your booking has been confirmed, we will email you a customized rental agreement for your approval. ***
The perfect Colorado newly rebuilt log cabin for family vacation or romantic getaway. October 21, 2020 the East Troublesome Fire burned our cabin along with many other cabins and home. After two years of hard work our cabin, Whispering Pines Lodge, is ready to be booked. Whispering Pines Lodge is bigger and better, close to Rocky Mountain National Park and is your perfect year around getaway providing many recreational opportunities including boating, fishing, hiking, 4-wheeling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling to name a few. This get-a-way cabin is nestled in the mountains at 8,700 feet between Rocky Mountain National Park and Arapaho National Forest, where the elk and moose roam freely. This relaxing cabin is located by Sun Valley Lake (a private 22 acre non motorized lake), just a few miles North of Grand Lake, Colorado where you can use the owners boats and bikes. Relax enjoying all the comforts of home including fully equipped kitchen with dish washer, refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, washer & dryer, coffee makers, toaster, and many more conveniences. The dining area has a large dining table that will seat 12 and an island counter that seats 4. Enjoy a good night sleep on our quality mattresses. The cabin features two levels with the main level having two bedrooms (the Elk room with King bed & bunk beds and the Bear room with a king bed.) The lower level has three bedrooms (The Moose room has a King bed with bunk beds. The Cowboy Bunkroom has a Queen bed, and a Full bed with a Twin bed above it. And the Mountain room has a queen bed and twin bunk beds. The cabin main level offers a wide open area with a loft which has a log futon couch and chair for extra guests. For an extra discount we can close off the lower area, where you would only use the main level. For your convenience and laundry needs washing supplies are provided. No smoking inside and no pets.
Those who enjoy the outdoors will truly appreciate our Whispering Pines Lodge. Watch Elk graze in the front meadow off our decks or occasionally see Mule deer. If you are lucky you may even see a Moose wander by the cabin or down by the lake. You can also drive in to RMNP and observe mule deer, big horn sheep, moose as well as elk and some time a bear. Hikers, bikers, motorcyclists, and ATV riders have access to many miles of trails in Arapaho National Forest and RMNP is for hikers only. For winter fun, enjoy 130 miles of groomed snowmobile trails just yards from our cabin. For snowmobile or RTV renting, "On the Trial Rentals" is just 1/2 mile from cabin. Winding River Resort, also 1/2 from cabin, offers horseback rides into RMNP.
Anglers have access to our private annually stocked, trout lake by our cabin (no fishing license required.) If river fishing is more your style the Colorado River is only 300 yards away. Other activities within a few minutes of the lodge include golfing, sledding, white water rafting, snow-skiing (Winter Park and Granby Ranch), snowmobiling and cross-country skiing, and hunting.

The best time!
We absolutely loved staying here! The cabin is beautiful and I loved how the table was big enough for us all to sit and eat and play games! Having the lake right there to enjoy was so convenient. There was always something for everyone to do, and perfect for those who wanted to stay at the cabin with the baby! Loved seeing wildlife especially moose! We also loved being able to go into town within a few minutes for all the fun that grand lake has to offer! The owners are wonderful and so easy to contact! We would absolutely love to visit again in this cabin!

Great house in an amazing area
Very well appointed house. Great layout and plenty of room. The location is fantastic - close to Grand Lake, but on it's own little lake. This area was a definite highlight - they also have a lot of lake oriented equipment and bikes to explore. This is definitely a place we will want to rent again for our family and friends trips.

We had a wonderful stay on this beautiful property even though it was cut short due to the fire evacuation! The owners were very helpful, kind, and communicated well with us. Thank you for sharing your property with us! We are heartbroken our time had to be shortened and for the loss of the cabin! It was a slice of heaven! Thank you for communicating all the information to us regarding the fires and keeping us safe!! Our Prayers are with you and your family! Colleen

Fine piece of property with a great location for hikers.
The playground was a nice touch for the littles in our group. The dogs and kids especially liked the lake and the paddle boat. The neighbors were friendly. The best bedroom upstairs did not have a bathroom. @ bathrooms on bottom floor not convenient for anyone upstairs who might have to use one in the middle of the night. Main bed downstairs up against stairs so had to listen to late nighters going up and down them. Grill needs to be cleaned. All and all plenty of room for 8.

Nice, clean cabin, very close to RMNP!
Great communication with owner. Very convenient to RMNP. Clean cabin, with lots of provisions, including detergents, paper towels, shower gel and hand soap. We did see two moose on the far side of the meadow, that is across from this cabin and we enjoyed canoeing on the lake. The living room was a tight fit for our party of six adults and two little ones, but it worked out, overall.

Comfortable rustic cabin
A comfortable rustic cabin with an updated well stocked kitchen. Having a private lake was wonderful. Lake or river fishing a plus. Hiking was close by and you could walk to go horseback riding. This cabin met all of our needs especially while social distancing. Corry and Ray were a pleasure to work with.

Picturesque Family Vacation
Our experience at Whispering Pines Lodge was more than we could have imagined! Ray and Corry are attentive, quick to respond and caring hosts. It was a pleasure working with them. We were initially hesitant to take this trip during COVID-19, but our concerns were INSTANTLY dispelled upon arrival. The cleanliness and caretaking of the lodge was top notch. The rooms are set up to provide comfort for larger families which was a must for our part of 7. We had everything we needed to make this our home for the week! Our favorite times were spent sipping our coffee by the lake, paddling the canoe, fishing off the dock or in to Colorado river, playing horseshoes or simply walking through the Sun Valley Ranch. We spotted elk and moose and enjoyed the nearby horses and alpaca. The proximity to RMNP made it easy to visit the park and hit several trails. We will definitely be back!!

Relaxing Stay in a great location
This was a great place to bring two families together for a relaxing stay. There was just so much freedom for our kids to boat and fish in the lake, use the play ground, and pet the horse down in the meadow. The cabin was set up well for a group of 9, everyone had their own space everything we needed was there. The owners did a great job of making sure everything was clean and organized. Overall great stay.

Great mountain cabin
The weather was perfect and the lake was beautiful. We had family ranging in age from 2 to 70. We biked, hiked, rode horses, canoed, took a pontoon out on Grand Lake and saw lots of wildlife in the Park. We were at first disappointed that we did not have a lake view from the cabin, but all in all we had a great time.

Three generations of our family came together for a family vacation. We have never been to the area. We were super impressed with cabin. Stocked with everything needed, just needed to bring our food. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The assortment of bikes and boats were incredible. We met Corry upon arrival(an hour early) She was completing her final touches to the cabin and made us feel welcome. The cabin was spotless and the decor added to our wonderful experience. We hope to visit again! Thanks for the unforgettable experience!

Perfect vacation house
Stayed in this house 6/20/20 through 6/26/20 with two families. Perfect size for 7 people aged 14 to 41. Kitchen and dining table are good size and has enough room to cook and prepare meals. Bedrooms and bathrooms are all plenty big. A short walk to the private lake was awesome for us in the evenings after dinner. Short drives into Grand Lake and RMNP for fishing trips or sightseeing with the family. Owners are extremely friendly and easy to communicate with. Be sure to ask them about the easement to the Colorado River right across from the house. Would definitely stay here again
