The Rapids Lodge was built in 1915 as an inn and restaurant, and has been preserved as an historical hotel and is an icon in Grand Lake. The unique lodge pole pine structure was the first building in Grand Lake, Colorado to have electricity and running water. The Historic Lodge and Restaurant building is typical of the early 1900’s “Barky” or Adirondack style of architecture sporting an austere facade and boxy look.
There have been a variety of famous and infamous guests staying and dinning at the Rapids including Jim Croce, Janis Joplin, Kris Christofferson and most recently Elk Creek CG friends...Donald & Rebecca(owners), Jan & Ted(seasonal residences) and Popeye & Paulette(18 year seasonal residences)
