Big weekend. Two HUGE Grand Lake events. One place to stay right in the middle of it all. ❄️

January 29–31, 2027 is shaping up to be one of the biggest winter weekends in Grand Lake!

Skijoring AND the 3 Lakes Ice Fishing Contest are officially happening on the same weekend — and if you know Grand Lake, you know what that means: town is going to fill up FAST.

The Gateway Inn currently has plenty of rooms available, PLUS our new cabin is now available to rent!

Don’t wait until Grand Lake is sold out and find yourself driving in from a neighboring town just to enjoy the festivities. Stay right here, enjoy the full weekend, and make Gateway your home base for all the action.

And we may have a little fun of our own planned at Gateway that weekend... 👀 More details on that as we get closer!

After a day exploring Grand Lake...

There's nothing better than coming back to a quiet room.

Kick off your shoes.

Open the windows.

Watch the sun set behind the mountains.

Tomorrow's adventure can wait until morning.

Tonight...

Just relax.

If you ask a local when the best time to visit Grand Lake is...

Many of them will tell you it's late August.

The summer crowds begin to slow.

The mornings get a little cooler.

The lake is still perfect for boating.

The trails are waiting to be explored.

Restaurants are a little easier to get into.

And those first hints of fall start appearing in the mountains.

It's one of Grand Lake's best-kept secrets.

Come experience the quieter side of summer before autumn arrives.

Some evenings don't need much planning.

Order your favorite meal.

Sip a handcrafted cocktail.

Listen to live music.

Watch the sun disappear behind the mountains.

That's a pretty good way to end the day.

We'll save you a seat.

Vacation mornings shouldn't be rushed.

They should start with hot coffee.

A great breakfast.

Mountain views.

And absolutely nowhere you have to be.

Breakfast is served Thursday through Sunday at Wild Bear Tavern.

We think mornings taste a little better in Grand Lake.
