We join the other 5-star reviewers in "singing the praises" of Moose Tracks Manor, aka "A Little Bit of Heaven!" The property is aptly named in both respects - we saw moose stroll through and hang out at the property numerous times daily, and barely spent any time indoors, as the setting on the lake was so peaceful and relaxing and the scenery breathtaking. We spent hours just watching the squirrels, chipmunks, ducks, geese, osprey, finches, hummingbirds, and, of course, the moose. The beautiful private lake is stocked with trout, and just watching them jump and twist and flop back into the water was entertaining. The Manor is a wildlife photographer's delight, but there are also many other things to do - there is something for everyone of every age to enjoy. Fishing, canoeing, walks through the woods, a short jaunt to On the Trails ATV Rentals, and just a few minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park entrance or in to the town of Grand Lake. The huge covered lakeside porch allows one to sit outside even during a brief passing afternoon shower, and the separate "party deck," picnic table, lakeside swing, and fire pit provide additional wonderful gathering places. The log home was very spacious and included every possible amenity to make one's stay comfortable. The massive vaulted ceiling in the great room is truly impressive, and it is fun to just peer down from the sprawling loft above. Owners Rod and Jill go above and beyond at accommodating their guests, and the reservation process was very professional, efficient, and flawless. Our damage deposit had already been refunded by the time we returned home, barely 24 hours after our departure from the cabin. We suggest you take time to read the excellent Renter's Guide they provide, as it gives a vast amount of information about your stay at Moose Tracks. We are pleased that, in such an elegant home, they are still pet-friendly, so we were allowed to bring our little 5-pound Yorkie. Whether you're a couple seeking a quiet, relaxing stay, or an active family / group seeking fun on the waterfront, this place is perfect. It would be well suited for couples of any age, family gatherings, a girls' getaway, a guys' fishing retreat - as we said, there is definitely something for everyone! Grand Lake is our favorite area when we want to escape city
life for a while - and we've now found the "Perfect Spot" we'd been looking for - Moose Tracks Manor! Thanks to Rod & Jill, we'll definitely be back.
