The Neighborhood:
There’s no end to the outdoor activities you can enjoy here, from mild scenic hikes to ultra-athletic pursuits, and we’re not limited by season. Head out on a fall colors bike ride, ski or snowshoe, go fly fishing, or climb the fourteeners! And as for the great indoors, we have plenty of restaurants, shops and historical attractions.
Getting Around:
The Quaking Aspen is a few minutes drive to Twin Lakes Village, and a 20-30 min drive to downtown Leadville, which is very walkable. Free off-street parking is included at the home, and nearby recreation is abundant! In the winter it is best to have four wheel drive and good tires. It is always manageable to get to the home, but we want to be transparent that in the winter the roads could be snow packed.

Gorgeous views, quiet, clean. A hot tub would’ve made it over the top. The checkin process is not good. They have little communication and they send a txt with a link to setup a profile for check in code. You can’t access link with no internet! Luckily I was able to make a phone call but it wasn’t to the owner, it was there management company.
This was my children's first time visiting the state of Colorado. I really wanted to give them a unique VRBO stay that put us right in the middle of the mountains. This cabin did not disappoint!!!! We drove in from Denver once it was already dark, which made waking up to the views from the deck a jaw dropping experience for the entire family! The cabin is beautifully decorated. The kitchen has absolutely everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We even baked a birthday cake for my son & had all the necessities! The tempur-pedic bed in the master was a big surprise & so extremely comfortable! The fireplace makes this cabin even more cozy than it already is. Washer/Dryer combo was fabulous so we could go home with clean clothes. I can't emphasize enough that everything we needed was provided! Extra towels, wash clothes, pillows, toiletries, extra TP, dish soap, hand soap, etc. Downstairs the bunk room is extremely fun for the kids & there are plenty of board games to choose from. We were so impressed. There are many great locations nearby for outdoor activities. We hiked Twin Lakes (the balcony overlooks these lakes) & saw a moose! We spent quite a bit of time near Buena Vista to visit the Mt Princeton hot springs & to fish cottonwood lake. Two day trips we highly recommend! The only thing we would do differently is hydrate more prior & bring extra oxygen canisters. The elevation if not acclimated is extreme. Overall, this vacation was everything we dreamed of!
This was a great place for us to stay for a relaxing few days. It had great views and was close to many good hikes. The house is well equipped, and all the appliances work well. The shower was modern and had great pressure. We had to check emails while here for work and that worked very well. The cell phone reception for Verizon was also good from the house. The only thing to be cautious of is the construction next door. That really didn't affect us as they only worked during the week days and we were out hiking.
