You can pack your day with horse riding, fishing, swimming, shooting, biking, zip lining, games, basketball, ranch led events, hiking and more or you can sit next to the Colorado River and just relax. Or any combination of those things, the choice is yours. Great ppl, beautiful scenery, meals and lodging all included. It's a true vacation for parents and is fun for all ages, I can't recommend it enough. My kids want to go back every year and it's literally the only thing they've ever agreed on .

(And their reviews aren't so hot) Most sites have trees and a cement pad - some sites even back right up to the water. It's clean and convenient to both RMP and down town Estes. The managers are so friendly and they provide a tasty free breakfast on Saturday mornings. Fresh fruit, pancakes, sausage, eggs, yogurt, and dry cereal served in a cute little club house decorated for the season. They have clean bathrooms and a laundry facility. And the WIFI coverage is amazing! We've stayed here during the week while I 'worked from home' and never had any issue connecting even when the campground was full. The only thing I wish they had was a fenced in dog run. They have a dog walk area but it would be nice to let the hounds of the basket lunches off leash occasionally. Just forces me to get my daily steps in

We…read moretold the owner Libni about it first thing in the morning and she was not on site to handle the issue. We went out to the lake for the day and met up with her later that day. 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.

We were only 1 mile away from the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was quiet here and we enjoyed watching Netflix as well as cable TV at night. Would definitely go back!

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.

CC was one of the few who still had vacancy. Now we know why. While I don't know what type of low-grade accommodations the high reviewers are accustomed to, as a very frequent traveler, I do know that this place does not deserve anything higher than 3 stars. Pros: very simple, homey old-timey cottages that hearken back to a 1940's grandma's house. Central location right outside one of RMNP's entrances. Nice touches with working fireplaces, 1 free bundle of firewood, variety of games and dvds to choose from, and fairly ample kitchenette offerings including a mini-stove, full sink and place settings. Restaurant choices across the street. Cons: this place is TIRED. Everything is run-down and dingey from the raggedy bedspreads to the broken kitchenette drawers, to the shower handle that fell off when we went to turn it on. Outside lawn chairs were moldy and crusty - uninviting. Curtains were dusty with gnats stuck to them. The children's mini-playground area - which could've otherwise been such a nice touch - was littered with dog poo and other debris from apparently months of neglect. If the rental charge were more appropriate for this low-level of accommodation, like $75-$100, I might give more stars. But $200? Uh no.

We stayed here a month or so ago but didn't get around to this review until now. This was our…read moresecond time staying here. The first time was 20 years ago and we loved it back then which is why we decided to go back. In the past I'd have given it 4 or even 5 stars. However.... Pros are the great location close to so many amenities such as restaurants and stores, very quaint appearance, dogs allowed, wood burning fireplace, parking right outside your unit's door, easy self check-in, and how quiet it is even though it's off a fairly busy street. This place has tons of potential. Cons are a general lack of maintenance including a broken bar in the sleeper sofa that didn't support any weight and collapsed, unusable very disgusting cooking pans, dirty oven, and a general lack of cleanliness. For example under the chair cushions were years of dust and a variety of objects like socks, loose change, hair ties, etc. Tons of dirt under the sofa and bed, the fireplace glass screen was so dirty you couldn't see the fire so we cleaned it ourselves, all the dishes were filthy, lots of loose hair in the bathroom, etc. You get the idea. Housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired. We love rustic but these cottages cross the line into decrepit compared to other places we've stayed. They are in need of some refurbishment and replacement of furniture and household items.

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!

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.
