We had a fantastic stay at Donna’s home. The home had everything you need for a cozy family vacation including a fully stocked kitchen, games and a lovely welcome gift basket from the owners. The home is situated in a perfect location with easy access to hiking trails and the lake. And the views are absolutely incredible. All communication was easy and prompt with Donna. We highly recommend this home and are already planning our next visit!

The last house on a dead end road that butts up to the National Forest. Lots of trails to walk on combined with the beautiful lake views. You can’t help but relax instantly. The house was lovely, clean, and exactly as advertised. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful Views!
Twin Lakes is a good central location for visiting Aspen and the Maroon Bells (in Summer) and the Buena Vista. Plenty to go if you like the outdoors within a 45 minute drive! This property had a hiking trail leaving straight off the driveway, amazing views of the lakes and the tallest mountains in Colorado. We saw wildlife each day while sitting on the deck (fox, eagles, rabbits, deer, ground squirrels). The house was easy to find with the address provided and access was simple. We ate most meals at the house and kitchen was perfect for our needs. Our family of six had plenty of space and there were many games provided, including foosball and darts. The downstairs shower is a "steam shower", which was interesting. Overall, we loved our stay at this house in Twin Lakes!

Welcoming family environment with majestic views!
We've had the pleasure of staying in this lovely home on two occasions and plan to return! Its convenient location, just a short drive to Leadville makes it a perfect choice if you are looking for a getaway with nearby restaurants. However, the kitchen is fully stocked with appliances for those who prefer home-cooked meals. Ski Cooper and Copper Mountain are both within an hours drive, and the breathtaking scenery make the drive to go skiing well worth it! Greg and Donna have thoughtfully curated a welcoming atmosphere, complete with a plethora of board games for family enjoyment. The reliable WiFi and phone service are an added bonus. Thank you, Greg and Donna, for graciously sharing your beautiful home with us once again. Countless family memories have been made here!

One of the most gorgeous stays in Colorado!
This is the second time we have stayed here. The property was immaculate and it was one of the best rentals we have ever had! The views and location of this property are perfect for the “getting away” but not too far away from comforts! Twin lakes had been consistently one of the best fishing areas in Colorado. Having a trailhead directly outside the front door is such a treat. If you want the Colorado experience. STAY HERE!

The house is as exactly as pictured, clean and comfortable! Great amenities from dishes and pans, to a portable fan to cool off our dog, as well as a baby gate to keep our dog away from the stairs. The outdoor space is as great as the inside, the views are amazing. The owners were very accommodating and the bottle of wine and chocolates were a nice touch! We’re anxious to visit again!!

Spectacular Views-Trail Right Out The Door
We had a wonderful time in Twin Lakes. The views from this cabin are amazing and the deck is huge with many seating options. There is also a trail right out the door that goes to the Mt Elbert Forebay (about 3 miles in length). If you are looking for a cabin in this price range with amazing views at Twin Lakes, you can’t go wrong with picking this one. I did have a couple suggestions for improving the basement seating quality and adding a TV in the upstairs living room with the best views.

Breathtaking Adventure!
This house was perfect! The pictures do not do justice to the views offered from every single window in the house. It was a perfect setup for me and my husband and our two teenage boys and even our fur baby. My boys had rooms downstairs and a bathroom and the game room and the adults had the upstairs. Everyone had their own space which was amazing. Donna was super helpful with my many questions. The house has everything you could possibly need. Donna really thought of everything to make your stay feel like being at home. You will not be disappointed to rent this little piece of heaven! I loved that the house is at the end of the road so we weren’t alone and always felt super safe, but we also had a ton of privacy and the views were open to the mountains beside us and not other houses. Donna was very accommodating and was wonderful to work with! We had a relaxing week! My boys brought their kayaks from home and we spent many days at the lake. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us Donna! This was our first trip to Colorado and everything was perfect!

Spectacular Stay
The view of the lakes & mountains was gorgeous inside and out. Every day the skies and sun were in different moods making morning views an event. The house is at the end of a road in the subdivision and no house on one side so it felt relatively private. SO many niceties such as a welcome bottle of wine and chocolates and the fridge and pantry had beverages, food and everything needed for cooking. A bit pricey but totally worth it IMO.
