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!

🎿 Skijoring
🎣 3 Lakes Ice Fishing Contest
