Best VRBO experience so far!

Donna was an incredible host! The house had everything we could possibly need, and all the previous reviews are absolutely spot on. The pictures don’t do the breathtaking views justice! I especially loved the trail right beside the house, which was perfect for morning walks with my dogs.Since it was windy most days, we didn’t get to enjoy the wood firepit as much as we had hoped, but the gas firepit was a fantastic alternative. Donna was extremely accommodating and responsive, making our stay even better.We will definitely be staying here again. In fact, we loved it so much that we’re even considering buying a home in Twin Lakes in the future!

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!

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!
