We loved our stay here at Twin Lakes. What a great cabin! We loved the charm, history and little town. We had a great time ice fishing, hanging by the fire, playing games and soaking up the fresh air. We’ll be back for sure this summer! Thanks!
We enjoyed our stay! Beautiful view from the house, walking distance from General store, restaurant, and food trucks. The Lakes are very close. A nice relaxing stay. Thank you!
We stayed one night and really enjoyed the space. Cute and clean and a short walk to the Inn for dinner. We all enjoyed the views from the front porch.
We stayed here for the Leadville 100 Run and it couldn't be a more convenient location. House was just as described and the host made the check in process very easy. Thank you!
We enjoyed staying at the bungalow for hiking, closeness to town, the General Store and dinner at the Twin Lakes Inn. The house had everything we needed to cook meals and to be comfortable.
We love the front porch.
We stayed in order to access Twin Lakes for ice fishing. The location was stunning and perfect for access to both lakes.
The home was very comfortable for my husband and I. We appreciated the King bed and wood stove at the end of the day
Lisa had everything we needed and more. The location was walking distance to everything in Twin Lakes. We enjoyed having the recliners in the family room and the cozy kitchen where we prepared several meals.
This is a cute, clean property. It was easy to find directions from Google Maps.
We stayed here overnight before climbing Mt. Elbert, which the South trailhead was just a 7-minute drive from the house.
The host was very responsive to my questions and I was all set when I got there. I recommend this place.
I was very happy with my solo stay at this historic home. It had everything I needed -- especially good wifi for work. The house sleeps four and has one bathroom. Staying alone, I was obviously fine. Loved the location. If I had one suggestion, it would be brighter light bulbs in the kitchen, but that's obviously minor. Easy process and great stay - highly recommend!
Booked the bungalow for a father/son fishing trip. Lisa was patient answering my questions and provided us some great local tips. Dinner at the Surf Hotel was amazing and a nice refuge from cooking trout every night!
The house was clean and well appointed with everything we needed. I highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to explore the Twin Lakes area.
I stayed for 2 nights while visiting friends in Colorado. The house had everything I needed. The view of the mountains from the front porch is beautiful. The house is within walking distance of the restaurants and shops in town. I especially appreciated that the beds are comfortable. I was well rested. I would definitely reserve this house again if I am in the area.
Everything is perfect about this place! We had a great time at the house. Very clean and very comfy. You can't get any better than this. Twin Lakes is amazing. We will be back next year for sure.

We enjoyed our stay. The property was just right for the two of us.
Cozy home minutes away from the lake, walking distance to a warm meal and drinks, store ( summer months ) and a priceless view. Would definitely stay again.
Had never heard of Twin Lakes before spending the weekend in this delightful space. Wonderful way to meet some new mountains and see an unspoiled bit of Colorado history. Love the front porch in the morning and evening!
