Great stay!!

We loved our stay here at Twin Lakes. What a great cabin! We loved the charm, history and little town. We had a great time ice fishing, hanging by the fire, playing games and soaking up the fresh air. We’ll be back for sure this summer! Thanks!

Great location in Twin Lakes village

I was very happy with my solo stay at this historic home. It had everything I needed -- especially good wifi for work. The house sleeps four and has one bathroom. Staying alone, I was obviously fine. Loved the location. If I had one suggestion, it would be brighter light bulbs in the kitchen, but that's obviously minor. Easy process and great stay - highly recommend!

Had never heard of Twin Lakes before spending the weekend in this delightful space. Wonderful way to meet some new mountains and see an unspoiled bit of Colorado history. Love the front porch in the morning and evening!

What a great little gem!

Booked the bungalow for a father/son fishing trip. Lisa was patient answering my questions and provided us some great local tips. Dinner at the Surf Hotel was amazing and a nice refuge from cooking trout every night! The house was clean and well appointed with everything we needed. I highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to explore the Twin Lakes area.

Comfortable home in beautiful location

I stayed for 2 nights while visiting friends in Colorado. The house had everything I needed. The view of the mountains from the front porch is beautiful. The house is within walking distance of the restaurants and shops in town. I especially appreciated that the beds are comfortable. I was well rested. I would definitely reserve this house again if I am in the area.

Great Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this bungalow...it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Really great place! Not sure if the plumbing is simply tricky or if a roto-rooter could help, but we had to use the plunger A LOT. Also...many of the pots and pans are damaged and scratched (could use replacing), and please consider using fragrance-free (or lightly scented) laundry detergent on sheets and towels. Overall, this is a great place and we really enjoyed our stay.

Cozy Cottage

We are repeat customers and have stayed in this lovely house about three times now. It is very convenient to the store and restaurant, within walking distance. It is so nice to take a walk early morning and evening and take in the views. We enjoy barbecuing and this time used the coal cooker. The house is stalked with just about everything you need. We enjoy sitting on the front porch after a long day of fishing. Will come back because we just love Twin Lakes.

Comfortable and quiet Victorian cottage

It is a cute Victorian cottage, on a quiet street in the small village of Twin Lakes. The kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled and are modern. The kitchen is well equipped, although the pans are scratched Teflon. (This is often the case in mountain rentals.) The living room sofa and recliners were quite comfortable. The front porch is pleasant for sitting and drinking coffee in the sun, and there is a pleasant patio in back. The location is excellent. There are lovely hiking trails within a few miles of Twin Lakes. The beds are unusually high and very firm. The furnace did not heat properly - The kitchen and utility room would be warm and the living room and master bedroom cold, even when following the note on the bedroom closet which said to leave the closet door open. We found that the heating vent on the ceiling of the bedroom was closed, but could not open it without a ladder. This was not a major problem, as it was not that cold at night, we just turned up the heat and left the bedroom door open. Of course, you could also build a fire in the wood stove. There were a few things that we found odd, besides putting a note on the closet door rather than fixing the heating vent. There were clothes in the closet - presumably this is a seasonal rental, but normally those would be removed before renting out. Also, we were asked to haul our trash to the community dumpster - which I thought an odd request, since we had paid a considerable cleaning fee when we rented. Twin Lakes is such a beautiful place that these annoyances are relatively minor, and we would recommend this cottage.
