We chose Grand Lake for several reasons. If you go into the village, you won't see fast food chain restaurants or neon lights. That said, you can get a gourmet meal if you choose to do so.
We enjoy boating and fishing on the 3 nearby lakes, reservoir and several rivers.
On the flip side, there are countless outdoor activities year around. Also, within an easy 30 minute drive is the world renounced ski resort of Winter Park. Within 20 minutes is the smaller more intimate resort of Sol Vista.
To sum it up, Grand Lake has it all without the hustle and bustle of most resort areas.
