The owners were gracious, and we loved the view from our room. Definately not a luxury lodge, but that's not my style anyway. You share the bathroom down the hall, and you can rent a private room in the lodge or stay in the hostel dorms. There is a big family room with tons of books and games, and comfortable seating. The outside deck has amazing views & old-fashioned wooden chairs. Walking distance to town, if you are a bit adventurous. I will be back!

My family and I came to Shadowcliff for a weekend. The view is astounding and we ended up eating our morning meals on the deck overlooking the view. It is not an extravagant place, it's just a nice down to Earth homey lodge where you can take a breath and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. The lodge is close to the Rocky Mountain National Park and has a river overlook on one side with a view of Grand Lake and the small town on the other side. I plan on making it a annual family trip! (Or my own little get away shhhh.)
