We had the most wonderful weekend in Grand Lake staying here at Lupine Village. I'm honestly so…read moresurprised to see bad reviews, but I know sometimes things happen. We had a 5 star experience during our stay. It was quiet because some of the businesses had closed for the season and only half of the cabins were booked so I'm curious how things would be during the summer when it's busy. First off, Mike and Ali are great owners. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into this place. We stayed in the Angler cabin and it was SPOTLESS. I love the exposed wood and the furniture was all super comfy. Some of my main requirements for staying somewhere are safety, comfort, and cleanliness & they nailed it in every category. The amenities are a nice to have too. The location is great, just a short walk up from the main road with all the shops and restaurants and another block up from the lake. It's perfectly centralized and sits among other homes/cabins. The "village" is set up like a grid with all the cabins enclosed inside of a wooden gate and there's a super cute and cozy hangout pergola in the middle with a fire pit and cornhole boards. There's plenty of seating around the quaint property and each cabin comes with a picnic table, grill, and Adirondack chairs. The check-in process was easy-peasy and we were greeted with two complimentary Colorado beers in the fridge and a bottle of water. The cabin is equipped with everything you could possibly need - cooking tools and basic seasonings, coffee maker, towels, extra blankets, a dishwasher. The water pressure in the shower was great. There's a canteen on the property where you can rent movies, games, outdoor equipment, yoga mats, etc at no cost and there are also necessities for purchase. It's a touchless system which is nice. I can't say enough about how wonderful Lupine Village is and I can't wait to come back!

Warning.... notice reviews are from at least 5 and even 8 years ago -- from people with hardly any…read morereviews! Below is a real and honest review from a real traveler / yelper I say in the range: 3, 4, 5 start resorts, budget VRBOs, and even 1 star motels. Heck one of my favorite places is the Best Western in Winterpark built in the early 80s... it ain't the Ritz! But for $250-300 per night for a 1 bed room + kitchen in Grand Lake without any view, next to an alley... it should be a lot better than this place The good... Everything was clean. Appliances, fans, heaters, dishes, pots/pans, etc were all in good shape and worked properly. The OMG... 2 kids 2 adults... each take 4 to 5 minute showers. You guessed it! Most days only enough Hot water for 2 to 2.5 showers. Oddly, water pressure was good) but if you turn on the cold water, it was so cold you'd freeze, literally, even when the hot was on full blast. Yes owners are nice and attentive but our cabin is a hodge podge patchwork of broken, worn out, poorly installed DIY, and some just plain missing items (some cabinet doors) Kitchen floor sloped a LOT It was annoying every time you walked on the slanted floor. Sofa Bed sagged, 80% of it. The "solution" is in the photos. Yeah, hey... I get it, a $100 sofa set from Big Lots will do that... so leave those to the college kids and get a decent quality set for your full time rental! Kitchen counter was screwed together -- sitting on top of the free cabinets ok, not all cabinets 'need' doors I know, not a huge deal, but it was obvious these cabinets had them and were freebies since under the sink were two end cabinets, not a single sink cabinet and you removed the drawer and screwed the drawer front on... classy! Tile work in the tiny shower... stop, please... you are not good at that, and you tried to be fancy... wow, no - just no! Shower valves... nice job letting water get into the wall without handle covers over the tile... I'm assuming more freebies and didnt want to spend money so ... holes in the wall, no problem Bathroom Fan/Light... WOW, this is LOUD... it vibrated the entire room, not kidding. The only other light was above the sink and the switch was not in reach from the door, no matter how tall you are. made finding it at night difficult. They need to separate the light and the humidity fan to 2 separate switches... oh, and make it so the fan doesnt sound/feel like the space shuttle is lifting off Bedroom... bed was comfortable, no issues there. But the bed took up the entire room, literally... only about 20" of space on any side... and you could not even open up a carry on on the floor except at the foot of the bed... then you are stepping over your luggage constantly.

We stayed one night with our window open and blinds open just to get a little air in the burning up room. Our room was at the top of the stairwell where everyone going up or down could see into our room, but if we would have closed the shades or window it would have been too hot even on top of the cover where we stayed. We could only stay one night even though I had booked four. The owner refused to reimburse any of my money. He actually said if I checked out by 10am and someone else booked it he would give some of my money back, but when I checked out before 10am they didn't even list the room on the sites. I am guessing they probably found a way to rent it and also take my over $1000 for three more nights. I feel like the owner is a con man! The room is truly ugly. ex: old green tile shower from the 60's... The view is beautiful, the staff is sweet and the location on the boardwalk is great, but in July it needs AC! It never advertised that it did not have AC like other places ex: YMCA hotel. Please do not fall into the same trap I did. It cost me over $1000 on my every five year anniversary with my wife to find out.

The owner was very responsive to emails and text. Which would have been handy had we needed anything, but we didn't because the place glows with pride of ownership. Plenty of room for the 4 of us to move around without being on top of each other. And a huge bonus for our group, tons of parking, so we didn't have to unhook trailers to park. This is my 4th or 5th time staying in this specific neighborhood and this place is now at the top of my list for the next trip. We were all extremely happy with everything, from cleanliness, to the amount of space and cookware. 6 stars!!!!

The small print of a separate terms sheet they require you to sign, near the last page, lists a $52 booking fee and $50 cancellation fee...this was NOT on the VRBO listing or confirmation from VRBO, which very clearly stated: "House Rules Check in after 4:00 PM Check out after 10:00 AM Cancellation Policy 100% refund for cancellations requested by Jun 3, 2025 at 11:59 PM (property's local time)." I am escalating through VRBO - I am shocked they allow management companies on their platform that intentionally deceive customers for a quick cash grab on cancellations. I am cancelling 75 days before arrival, and they are withholding $102 in my deposit reimbursement. Shady business practices - stay away from this company.

It makes a buzzing noise every 5 minutes making it hard to sleep. It randomly freezes the food in refrigerator and the freezer stops freezing and thaws everything but then freezes again. 3- there was a large clump of hair on the bathroom floor at check in. 4- disgusting large clumps of black hair on the walls of shower upstairs. 5- I called in 1 and 2 Friday afternoon. I was told tge lock could be addressed that day but the manager needed approval on refrigerator. Saturday I get a call that nothing can be done as owner is not responding and will next to stay in unit and may want to address these things themselves. That's not a good answer. If doing short term, you have to address safety issues like doors that don't lock. Having our food freeze was unacceptable. My wife refused to shower upstairs and it was to gross I wants going to clean. Everyone was nervous leaving valuables and sleeping there with door unlocked. Over a bad experience. There's been other complaints online on the refrigerator and nothing was done. I emailed pictures to the manager with details of all the problems. I asked for a partial refund as it was not a clean nor secure/ safe property. VRBO was emailing me requests to review. I thought the manager would want to make things right therefore no need for negative honest reviews as it would end in a positive way with a partial refund. The manager responded that I'm extorting them. When looking at all the other bad reviews on several sites, this company doesn't accept any complaints. They never apologize but rather blame the guest. Until they can accept and acknowledge bad service, they won't be able to correct issues. Learn from your issues and own them. Steer clear until they accept a complaint and correct them. Instead they blame the owner and blame the guest if they respond. I'm sure that refrigerator will still not work and the door not lock.

We asked her to move us cabins and consider a refund. She moved us to all to a new cabin after we checked the beds an and sofas and they appeared to be clean. Days after we have not heard from the owners and we are requesting a full refund, but we were told only a partial refund would be considered. I have bed bug bites all over my body. The pain and itching was so severe I had to take time off work and go to an emergency urgent care today for steroids and prescription ointment. I can't sleep due to the hundreds of bites and constant itching. It has been a miserable few days and we have yet to hear back from ownership and we have not received a refund. I would highly recommend staying somewhere else.

Not on the lake nor on the river, but close enough to both to hear the water rushing, and smell the breeze off the water! High up enough to see Osprey roosting, which happened to be the name of the cozy cabin we were in. Ultra modern and rustic at the same time. It made me fall in love with the blue of beetle-kill pine when finished. It had all the things you'd want in a room, microwave, 2 burner cook top, fridge, and sink. dishes, coffee maker, (and good coffee) The management was very friendly and accommodating, greeting us on check in by first name, and answering questions happily. If you are looking for a nice secluded yet close in place, I strongly recommend this cabin and this company.
