We love this place and come every year for the bluegrass festival. We always tent camp but this…read moreyear we did glamping. The bed in the glamping is extremely uncomfortable and I woke up sore every day and had pain all night from the discomfort. It was a big disappointment for the price we paid but there were tons of other features of the glamping site that were great. They offer a stove top, a grill, and a wood fire heater and nice touches like cups, bowls, plates, and silverware. A cutting board. A small mirror. A pretty comfortable couch. I have to admit that I was disappointed that the music wasn't more frequent and not super bluegrass-y this year. It was our first year at the bluegrass event since the new owners. Additionally, the bar drinks were quite terrible (tasted like straight fake lemon juice) and she didn't know just about any drink we requested. Over than that, the property is stunning, all the additions from the new owner were undeniable, the bathrooms were wonderful, what was included in the glamping were perfect, the campfire at each site was a great touch. Hard to give that a rating but if I have to, I guess it would be 4. The bed makes me want to put a 3 for the price we paid, but I can't deny all the other benefits and the property is truly our own oasis

Please be careful when booking if there is any possibility a loved one might be sick. I understand…read morethat this is a business and they are following their policy. However we were unable to attend our booking due to my grandmother being hospitalized suddenly. We were not asking for a refund but the ability to reschedule. They offered no options as their policy is 30 to 60 days advance notice on cancelations. So, being out the 1500 for our family's booking, under the circumstances felt like being kicked when down.

Last year as a family we decided to skip the whole Christmas shebang and plan a dream family…read morevacation. Wow! I am so glad we did! It was the best decision ever! We all collectively arrived on Sunday and were greeted by the kindest, warmest staff, the most spectacular setting in a beautiful valley surrounded by the vast Rocky Mountains. This is truly an authentic old school dude ranch. Beautiful and quaint little log cabins scattered throughout the property to offer just enough privacy yet at the same time you felt like part of a small intimate village that left the rest of the world behind in the best way. Dinners are all served family style in the main dining hall, there are multiple community gathering areas to chat, watch the children play and run, watch the wranglers get the horses ready for the day and rest and relax before the next activity. The days start early with a full cooked to order breakfast then off to a trail ride (the wranglers tell some fantastic stories as well), fishing, white water rafting, hiking or even mountain biking. You are paired with your horse for the week and the staff goes to great lengths to make sure you are paired with the right horse. They have horses for EVERY skill level. (Beware -you WILL form a bond over horsey treats, nuzzles and head rubs and it will be really REALLY hard to say goodbye) There is entertainment in the evenings like campfires, music and a super fun variety show. The kids will also put on a really fun rodeo. There will be early morning breakfast rides, dinner rides and your heart will find a new love for the great outdoors, newfound friends who will now feel like family and the Fosha's and their incredible and dedicated staff -many of which have returned every summer for years (when asking one wrangler about her experience working at the ranch-she got tears in her eyes and expressed her love and sentiment for the Fosha's becoming a second family and how the ranch felt like home). The experience will leave you longing to return and (intelligently) booking your trip for the following year.

Last August, my family (2 grandparents, 1 daughter, 1 son-in-law, 2 grandsons, 1 granddaughter, and…read more1 more daughter - 8 in all) took the trip of a lifetime. We had planned it 2 years earlier, got thru the covid year and were able to go this year. A truly authentic dude ranch, surrounded by spectacular mountains, dotted with rustic private cabins barns, horse rings and trails, a pool, fishing pond, volley ball (kids loved!) There were programs for everyone, including my 2 year old grandson (riding and daycamp) and my daughter, the experience rider (English). Two trail rides un in the mountains were available daily. There were evening programs: sing-a-longs and wrangler talent night, etc.) The food was great, whether in the mess hall or outside at the chuck wagon. It was basic, plentiful and hearty. The staff, from the "wranglers" to the cooks, to the people who maintainer everything, were welcoming, and very good at what they do. The owners especially are very friendly, mixing in with everyone. We thought it was not expensive for what we received and heard there were other places that were much more glamorous and not as family friendly. I hope were get to go again, and we highly recommend it!

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 got a coupon off Livingsocial and decided to take a weekend getaway in the mountain. Eddie…read more(spelling?) and her family manage the property. When I called the lodge, she had to walk to the office to take my reservation (since the whole property is only run by 2-3 people and often she is somewhere else other than the office). The booking was not that hard over the phone but make sure you speak slowly and clearly when you give her any info invovling numbers :D The check-in time is 3pm and check out time is 10am but you can call ahead to check in or check out at an earlier or later time. Upon arrival, Eddie and her daughter greeted us warmly. We were told since the room we originally booked had some plumbing issues we got upgraded to a better room. Yay! The new room is bigger and has a fire place. Eddie took us on a mini tour to see the other lodges on the property as well since each one has a different theme and they are actually quite funky. The lodge we stayed at was small but had adequate space. The kitchen has everything you need except spices and seasonings. There are lodges that can accommodate pets so just ask. We hiked a bit (since the lodge is pretty close to Rocky Mountain National Park. We also went to Hot Sulfur Springs at night (check out my review here http://www.yelp.com/biz/hot-sulphur-springs-resort-and-spa-hot-sulphur-springs#hrid:olYd01SdW95whyRPgZKegg) I like the fact that the lodge is close to those two things. You can probably also ski and ride horses around the area too. Just a note, before you check out, you need to take out the trash and clean the room otherwise they will fine you $25.

The dishes are not locked up and are very accessible to little children, door didn't lock and kept blowing open throughout the night. Kids easily could run out or dogs! I had black hair in my sheets. The water pressure is a trickle making showering unenjoyable and dishes very hard to clean! YOU ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAN YOUR DISHES AND ROOM before checkout, we got passive aggressive comments from SUE because I'm the WIFE and left six dishes in the sink! IT WAS MY JOB to clean them! I didn't know, there were no signs! NOW THE BIGGEST CON of all! Passive aggressive property manager! DO NOT STAY here!!! SPEND YOUR MONEY on a airbnb that deserves it! They didn't even ask us to leave but threatened to call the COPs if we didn't leave in 5 minutes in front of my toddler and infant child! I am still in SHOCK! I would like to laugh and JOKE I HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF NICER PLACES THEN THIS! Let me start by saying we are not criminals, we don't drink excessively and are a pretty nice clean family. After trying to coordinate a room change ALL DAY with SUE, she finally gave us 20min to switch rooms so I left the six dishes and didn't vacuum. I was honestly concerned about her turn around time! The kiddos had spilled some animal crackers on the floor but nothing a quick vacuum wouldn't fix! NOW she DID NOT TURN OVER a Room Properly! It takes more then twenty minutes to properly clean a kitchen, bedroom and bath with linens, I was a maid for years! INDUSTRY STANDARDS would say all linens need to be striped and changed. Surfaces disinfected esp. with COVID! Vacuum and mop! You would have thought we left shit In the toilet, vomit on the floor and a blown up burrito in the microwave! (ALL of WHICH I HAVE GRACIOUSLY CLEANED IN MY DAY!). So I DO THINK THE DISHES ARE NOT PROPERLY WASHED, THE BLANKETS DO NOT GET WASHED BETWEEN GUESTS AND NO MOPPING. I hope SUE gets out of the hospitality business! She thought my two year olds graham cracker floor mess was PERSONAL and it wasn't! We did leave a NORMAL mess, WE WERE ON VACATION! STAY ELSEWHERE! They kicked out our little sweet family, to fend for ourselves with 1-70 closed and the pass closed. REALLY!
