High atop Reva Ridge, lofting over mountains, water, and sky stands StarVue Retreat. Far from city lights, this is a place where even Colorado natives marvel at one of the most dramatic views from a home in Colorado and in all of North America. The central location is close to Leadville, a short drive to Aspen (in the summer), Vail, Beaver Creek, Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Ski Cooper, Salida, and Buena Vista. After years of searching, we hand-picked the land as 'the' perfect place to build a log cabin in Colorado. With 360 degree views of the highest mountains in the Colorado Rockies, this home was originally built as our family summer retreat and is now welcoming guests and their dogs from around the world.

Great for couples, families, company retreats, or those wanting a motivating place to write a screenplay, novel or launch the next high-tech company. StarVue features a 'great' great room, 'mountain-overlooking' master suite, 'motivational' office and library loft, and wrap around porches facing south and west. A separate downstairs quarters features a large bedroom, bath, and family room complete with the most dramatic walk out basement in the world...seriously.

When our family vacations here, we typically plan days around hikes and canoeing in the lake and over to the ghost town for lunch, climbing the local mountains, dinners in Twin Lakes Village, day trips to Aspen, Vail, or Breckenridge, exploring Leadville, and rafting or hot spring trips within a 30 minute drive.

Here, the nights are truly special. The name StarVue comes from the unimaginable view of the stars, as many as can be seen in the world without a telescope and clear and crisp as if they were a hundred miles away. In fact, the master bedroom was designed so that you can watch the stars as you go to sleep.

  • The views from this property are stunningly beautiful! I could not have imagined a prettier or more serene setting. The log home is gorgeous with great attention to detail and awesome views from every window. The property is very private. We had great trout fishing in the lakes, hiked the Colorado trail to the old Interlaken Inn, took a day trip over Independence Pass to Aspen and gazed at the 14ers. We also loved that we were able to bring our dogs, and they had the time of their lives! My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

  • This is a one-of-a-kind location and cabin. All the creature comforts we could hope for. Close to Twin Lakes to get out on the water and great restaurants in Leadville. We'll be back again for sure!

  • This cabin is the quintessential getaway. Twin Lakes is nestled among the tallest peak (Mt. Elbert) in Colorado. As I looked out west towards the peaks over the lake below, I knew we found the perfect place to stay -- lots to do here. We hiked, we went out on the lake, hung out at the Nordic Inn to eat. The features of the place are like home -- we read, played board cames on the porch, made awesome dinners. If you want a Colorado get away, this is THE place for any season.

  • This home is fantastic and the views of the lakes and mountains are breath taking. The pictures listed here are great but still do not compare to the in person experience. Will definately see you next year.
