Stayed 2 nights during a road trip. What a fantastic area, stunning scenery & quaint town. We stayed in a river condo - best place we stayed on whole road trip ( out of around 10 hotels/ accommodation). Very comfortable. The rapids are quite noisy outside but not a problem indoors. Saw lots of hummingbirds outside on balcony. Would definitely... More

Grand Lake is a beautiful town and this lodge is very charming. Our Rapids condo was very clean and decorated so nice. We stayed 3 nights while skiing at nearby Grandby Ranch with our 4 teenagers and it worked out perfect for us. The owner/staff was very friendly and accomadating. The kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed.... More

We went to Grand Lake one weekend in September and did not have reservations. Our GPS could not find the hotel we wanted to check out so we searched other the hotels that came up on the GPS. Rapids Lodge was nearby so we checked it out. The lady behind the counter was very nice and professional. We got a... More

We stayed three nights and wish we had been able to stay longer. We had a porch right on the river and could read or have a late afternoon sip in a wonderful setting. We kept the door open at night and listened to the river. It is not fancy, but very comfortable and clean. Service staff were very friendly... More

We only stayed one night at the lodge, I wish we had had more time. We got their a day earlier than expected, but they were quick to accommodate us and even gave us a larger room for the same price of the room we had booked for the following day (it was occupied). The room was clean and well-appointed,... More

We stayed at the Rapids Lodge in Grand Lake, CO for four nights in August. Our goal was to see the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park before we went over to Estes Park for a family reunion. My husband and 12 and 14 year old kids stayed the first 3 nights in unit 8, an upstairs 1 bedroom... More

Thank goodness we talked to the owner over the phone before. We we're told, in a rather rude and ugly manner, " if you have to ask about the prices, you can't afford us." No we are not a wealthy family but certainly did not deserve this kind of treatment. After reading the other posts on this site, I'm really... More

We were at the Rapids Lodge for another family reunion. The organizers love the area so they return us there every time. The owner is ruder each time, and should get out of the hospitality business. My husband and I stayed in one of the river view units which is dated but okay. Our children and grandchildren stayed in two... More

We splurged and stayed in one of the rooms facing the rapids. It was beautiful. We have been coming to Grand Lake for decades, but usually stay at a family members cabin. The full kitchen was perfect for cooking meals in. I kept the window and door open all night and listened to the water rushing over the rocks. Very... More

Stayed in one of the smaller rooms which was very nice. Loved the quiet location right next to the mountain stream and enjoyed the one block walk 'into town.' Tom and his wife were very accommodating, and so was Carol. Would definitely like to come back. Madison, WI
