The dream was always to have a "cabin in the mountains." We fell in love with Grand Lake because of the magnificent views, especially of Mt Baldy above Shadow Mountain Lake. But also because Grand Lake is still your "quintessential mountain town" with it's old school mountain charm and even a boardwalk. Back to the views, (and this was always so important to us) there is a sign coming into Grand Lake that says "Welcome to Historic Grand Lake." You will see people are always taking pictures next to that sign because Mt Baldy is so perfectly framed in the background above Shadow Mountain Lake. All of our cabins have that same picture perfect backdrop!
Back to our story, first we built the 5 bed/3 bath "Lakeside Cabin." It was a 3 year process due to covid, and then the huge Troublesome fire.
Next we purchased the 3 bed/2 bath cabin that was built in 1972. We nicknamed it the 72 cabin, but officially we call it our "Mountain Midcentury Modern Cabin." We did a year long complete remodel of that cabin, and honored it's history by keeping it's vintage vibe with modern touches.
The great thing about that cabin purchase was that it came with 4 additional plots of land, the largest of which we built the 6 bed/5 bath "Lakeview Cabin" on. It is great because those two cabins are right next door to each other.
Recently the plot of land right next to our first build came up for sale, and we were lucky to purchase that as well. So within a couple years God willing, our Lakeside cabin will have a new neighbor as well!
