Pet friendly! 3 bedroom with stunning views of Shadow Mountain Lake

This home is located in Grand Lake, not Estes Park

Wake up to sweeping views of Shadow Mountain Lake and the surrounding Rocky Mountains at this peaceful ranch-style retreat just 8 minutes from the heart of Grand Lake. Tucked into a quiet mountain setting, Blue Water Ridge offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and easy access to everything Grand Lake has to offer, from boating and hiking to the shops and restaurants along historic Grand Avenue.

Step outside onto the expansive back deck, where panoramic lake and mountain views stretch out before you. It’s the perfect place to start your morning with coffee, grill dinner as the sun sets behind the peaks, or simply unwind after a day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park. Traveling with dogs? The fenced dog area makes it easy for your four-legged companions to enjoy the mountain air too.

Inside, the home’s open layout creates a warm, welcoming space for gathering. The living room features comfortable seating and a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy mountain lodge atmosphere on cool evenings. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at home, whether you’re cooking breakfast before a day on the lake or hosting a relaxed family dinner.

The home comfortably sleeps families and groups with three thoughtfully designed bedrooms and two full bathrooms:

Primary Suite: King bed, ensuite bathroom with a jetted tub and separate standing shower

Queen Bedroom: Cozy and inviting for additional guests

Bunk Room: Perfect for kids or extra guests

A second full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and a convenient laundry area adds to the home’s comfort for longer stays.

With lake views from nearly every room, quiet surroundings, and easy access to Grand Lake’s outdoor adventures, Blue Water Ridge is an ideal home base for every season, summer boating, fall colors, winter activities, or simply relaxing in the mountains.

Come experience the slower pace, fresh mountain air, and unforgettable views that make Grand Lake so special.

The house was beautiful and perfect for our group of 7 (including kids and a dog). It was fully stocked with ALL necessities and much more. Although it is a pet friendly home, there was no pet odor. We loved the view. If you book with them, try the Sagebrush BBQ & Grill! We will be staying again!!

This was one of the better vacation rental homes we’ve stayed in! The house is very well appointed and comfortable and we settled right in for a long weekend. The kitchen has everything needed to easily cook meals. The living room is cozy. The beds are soft. It’s pet friendly but doesn’t smell like dogs which was awesome! It’s very close to a marina to rent boats and explore the lakes. The drive into Grand Lake Village is quick, and what a fun place to walk around! The weather was quite comfortable when we were there so the fans were sufficient for cooling. You can hear the road noise when the windows are open but we got used to it. We would definitely stay here again!

Outstanding house in Grand Lake

We absolutely loved this house! It was beautiful with amazing views of the lake and mountains! Adored the back deck with comfortable furniture. Great location! We loved the fenced in area for our dogs. The house had so many wonderful features and was so nicely decorated! A bonus was we could see the 4th of July fireworks from the deck! We’d stay here again for sure!
