My family and I had an incredible stay! The views are as breathtaking as described. We were there for the Leadville Trail 100 MTB and it made it very convenient for my family to watch the race (which goes by 5 minutes from the house) and then relax at the house while they waited. The house is very nice with lots of room. We were busy all weekend so didn't get a change to utilize all the amenities but there are a lot that are offered. The owners were very nice and responsive and made the whole experience great. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Retreat with Breathtaking ViewsWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Twin Lakes property. The house was incredibly peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to cozy blankets, which made settling in effortless. One of the most magical parts of our stay was the large number of beautiful hummingbirds that visited daily. Watching them flit around the deck added such a special touch to the serene atmosphere. And the view—absolutely stunning! Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee or winding down in the evening, the scenery was unforgettable. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking to unwind and soak in the beauty of nature.

Amazing Week at Beautiful Mountain Lodge

Our family had an amazing week staying at Donna and Greg's beautiful mountain lodge. The views were amazing and the pictures do not do it justice. The house was well stocked and very clean and comfortable. Donna and Greg were great to work with and quick to respond with any questions we had. We did not want to leave this beautiful spot and are looking forward to returning in the future!
