This was a good week, but probably one that required a certain sense of adventure.
First, the not-so-good. The physical plant is worn. It was clean for the most part, but worn. I'm not sure if it is because the week was maybe just one week past prime summer season, or because there are a lot of whole-ownership units, but the place didn't really have that "people on vacation" vibe. Then there were the two different people working on their cars in the parking lot, and the camper van that appeared to have people sleeping in it on the edge of the lot for three days. The swimming pool only has one entrance; through the changing rooms, and all the gates along the outside of the fence are padlocked. I assume that is because not all the whole-ownership units pay for the resort amenities, and this is how they enforce it.
But, the good parts: the unit was comfortable, and reasonably equipped. The staff is friendly. The location is a good home base for hiking RMNP, with most any trailhead between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours away. There is a Kroger-affiliated grocery story right across US-40, and Grand Lake is much less of a tourist magnet than Estes is, though there is enough of an infrastructure that you can have a good week. Winter Park is just 25 minutes in the other direction if you need a better slate of restaurants---I was in the kitchen most evenings so I didn't really bother.
Would I go again? Yep. $350 for a studio in that location during the summer is a pretty good deal, and the scenery on the trails I hiked was awesome. It was a fantastic vacation, and well worth it. Would I own there? I don't think so. And, if I were to go back to the area, I might try Mountainside next time so that I can bring the kids and maybe a friend or two of theirs.
