Airbnb has named us Superhosts for another year, and the credit goes to the people who stay with us.

The year in numbers: 5⭐️ reviews, zero cancellations, and a 100% response rate. If you book a cabin, it will be ready for you. If you send us a message, you will hear back. That's the whole strategy.
The reviews behind those numbers are the part we never get used to, and this recent one made our week.

"It was everything we expected and more. The attention to detail and the special touches were a surprise and made our stay so enjoyable! The location was perfect and was just what our souls needed. Ali and Mike are great hosts and we look forward to coming back in the not so distant future! Thanks for making our trip a memorable experience!"

To everyone who has stayed with us, came back again, or sent family our way: thank you.

Ali & Mike

There's a rumor that Grand Lake shuts down once summer ends. We'd like to set the record straight.

October is for hiking and wildlife watching, yes (as if that weren't enough?!). It's also for a night at the theater and a Saturday in costume:
• Boulder Ballet at Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre, this weekend
• Ghosts & Gourds Gathering, Saturday, October 24 - https://gograndlake.com/events/signature-events/

When you stay at Lupine Village, stop by the Canteen window. We post what's going on around Grand Lake, Colorado, so you always know what's happening while you're here. 🍂

October is Grand Lake's sleeper month, and it's the last month to stay with us in 2026.

You know what peak season looks like up here. This is the other side of it: fall color still hanging on, a quiet town, a Park with no crowds, and the calendar is still full of fun fall events like the Ghosts & Gourds Gathering on Saturday, October 24.

After October, we close the cabins for the year. Book your dates now at lupinevillage.com
Summer gets the tourists. October gets the seasoned travelers.

Meet your hosts! 👋
We're Mike & Ali - husband and wife, full-time Grand Lake locals, and the proud owners of Lupine Village since 2016.

Being here year-round means we know this town from the inside out - not just the postcard version. Mike stays involved in the community and its events, Ali runs the social side for Grand Lake, Colorado, and together we've spent years learning the rhythm of this place: the quiet trailheads, the spots for a paddle on the lakes, the little things that turn a good trip into one you talk about all winter.

All of that comes with the cabin. When you stay at Lupine Village, you've got two locals in your corner who actually know the answers, because we live them.

New to Grand Lake or coming back to a place that already feels like yours, we can't wait to welcome you.

Friday's 79th Annual Buffalo Days Movie Night with Lupine Village started out about as perfect as it gets ... and ended with a big splash. ☔️😄 Nothing like a little excitement to remind you why Buffalo Days weekend is the most fun you'll have all year in Grand Lake.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, and to the volunteers and vendors who put in the work to make this night what it is.

Missed it this year? Here's the move for next year: stay at Lupine Village and walk to every bit of the fun. Send us an email and we'll get your dates saved before they're gone.

The 80th Annual Buffalo Days is shaping up to be the event of 2027 - don't be the one who hears about it after! 🦬

Hope you'll join us for another year of fun starting on Friday night! 🦬⚾️🍿🎶🍖🦬

Some summers you just want to last forever, and Friday, we're kicking off Buffalo Days with the movie that captured exactly that feeling. ⚾️

The Lupine Village at Grand Lake Movie in the Park is back, and this year we're watching The Sandlot.

Bring your blankets, camp chairs, and the whole family for an only-in-Grand-Lake kind of night under the stars. KFFR 88.3 FM will be there serving up drinks and there'll be kettle corn for munchin' 🍿

Pack a cozy layer, claim your patch of grass early, and come make some memories to last a lifetime. Heroes get remembered, but a good Grand Lake movie night? That's the stuff legends are made of. ⚾️

The 79th Annual Buffalo Days weekend is presented by Sagebrush BBQ & Grill

Music to our ears ☔️

If you're visiting Lupine Village at Grand Lake, Colorado in July or August, you'll notice a pattern: clear mornings, building clouds by early afternoon, and thunderstorms rolling through most days. That's Colorado's monsoon season. It's predictable enough that you can plan your day around it.

How to plan your day:
Front-load your outdoor time. Hikes, lake days, and drives up to Rocky Mountain National Park are best done in the morning or before noon. By 1-3pm, storms are common, and above treeline that's not a place you want to be when lightning starts. Afternoons are a good time to head back to the cabin, grab lunch in town, or duck into one of the shops on Grand Ave until it passes.

What to pack:
Layers, always. A rain jacket or light shell packs better than an umbrella once the wind picks up. Storms usually blow through in 30-45 minutes, so it's rarely a full day lost - just a good excuse for a coffee break.

Why we don't have AC:
At 8,369 feet, you won't need it. Summer highs top out in the 70s-80s, and those afternoon storms drop the temperature fast. Nights cool into the 40s-50s even in August.

Come prepared, and the storms won't get in the way of a great stay.

Drumroll please 🥁 ... This year's Buffalo Days Movie in the Park is: The Sandlot! ⚾️

You're killing me, Smalls - it's official! The Buffalo Days Movie in the Park hosted by Lupine Village at Grand Lake is THE SANDLOT! ⚾

Join us Friday evening, August 14 in Grand Lake, Colorado as we kick off Buffalo Days weekend the way we love best: the big screen in the park, the mountains going dark behind us, and folks gathered on the lawn. Bring your blankets, camp chairs, and dinner - and maybe a baseball glove for good measure.

If you've never been, here's what to expect: families stake out spots as the sun sets, kids running the grass until the movie starts, and that moment when the screen lights up and everyone settles in together. It's one of our favorite nights of the summer, and it's only the beginning! Buffalo Days runs all weekend long.

Keep an eye on this page: the full schedule of weekend events is coming soon, and you won't want to miss what we've got planned. Follow Go Grand Local and Grand Lake, Colorado to be the first to know! 🦬
