Our guests agree this cabin is ideal for groups with multiple interests! Enjoy easy access to family hiking and mountain-biking trails and serious hikers are close to La Plata Peak and Mt. Elbert trailhead. The cabin is located at the midway point of the famous Leadville 100 Ultra Run and you are ¼ mile from the famous Colorado Trail. The lake is a short walk through town and has nice sandy beaches, high mountain lake fishing, and beautiful open views. Fly-fishing is popular on the Arkansas River and the best river rafting in Colorado is located in Buena Vista and Salida (30 miles away). Historic Leadville is 28 miles away. In the winter, enjoy snowshoeing, and alpine and cross-country skiing. Cross-country skiing trails are close by in the winter up Independence Pass or South Fork with groomed flat trails in Leadville. Snowshoeing for multiple abilities is available out the door. A fun (but safe) sledding hill is located right outside the cabin. Downhill skiing at Ski Cooper (45 min), Copper Mountain (1 hr), Monarch (1 hr), or Vail (66 miles).

We loved our stay here! Everything was as described or better and the hosts were extremely helpful. 4 nights went by way too quick but we’d definitely return again. The little community of Twin Lakes was the exact, non-ski resort pace we were seeking. This was the best stocked kitchen of any VRBO I’ve rented and there’s an awesome puzzle selection. Perfectly located to access great hikes from Independence Pass, rafting in Buena Vista, walk to the the lakes or just roam around the property.
Beautifull log home with all the amenities and great location for enjoying a fun mountain vacation!
Stayed here for the second time. Perfect scenic and quiet location for our family to enjoy the mountains.
Great weekend in the mountains...we'll be back!
We had 8 adults stay very comfortably at this very large cabin. The bedrooms are all large and the kitchen/living room was plenty large for our entire group to spend time together. The views from the deck (and pretty much every window) are the reason we went to Colorado. Brian was very easy to communicate with and I will try to book this cabin again if we return to the area
We loved the property and the surroundings. Beautiful views all around. Kids enjoyed the swing in the yard.
We were thrilled to be back at the Twin Lakes house. And will be back again!
Morning coffees in a beautiful log cabin surrounded by stunning artwork and mountains, doesn’t get any better! We historically stay in downtown Leadville for close access to Cooper, but we decided to try something new. So glad we did! Hope to be back to enjoy the wrap around deck.
The cabin was very comfortable, even for 6 guys on a fishing trip. The kitchen was better supplied than my home kitchen is. The rest of the house was well supplied and perfect. We had no trouble finding the place and the driveway was easy, even with some snow pack. We all slept comfortably too. I would love to stay here again!
This is our second vacation at this property. The cabin is cozy and has everything you need to be comfortable. The views are killer, the available hiking is abundant and lovely - and offers hikes from beginner to expert. The fact that dogs are allowed is the clincher for us. The only thing that is a slight negative for me is the firmness of the beds. Sort of like slightly softened concrete. I hate to say anything bad about the property, but just want to warn soft bed lovers like me that they're pretty stiff.
