Overview
Cabin, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 8 total; 6 adults max)
Our mountain cabin is the perfect getaway for couples and families. Lovingly cared for and tastefully decorated, our 3-level, 1400 sq. foot cabin has an open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling windows on the main floor and spectacular views of Colorado's highest peaks and beautiful Twin Lakes (the largest glacial lakes in the State). Views are as good from INSIDE the cabin as they are OUTSIDE the cabin!
The main floor has all hardwood floors with an open, fully furnished kitchen and new appliances; large dining table for cozy family meals with a view; living area with a comfy couch, TV, gas stove, and two leather recliners; French doors opening out to the deck; a newly remodeled, spacious bath with tub, shower, and plenty of storage; and a mud room for storing skis, backpacks, and outdoor equipment.
The lower level has stone tile floors with two large bedrooms--one with a queen bed and one with a full bed; a quiet sitting area with TV, French doors opening out to an outdoor patio, and a half-bath/laundry room with washer and dryer. The upper level has hardwood floors, a master bedroom with a queen bed that has views of Mount Elbert (from bed!)and a separate sitting area. The sitting area can be closed off and has a futon for extra sleeping space.
Our cabin is on a half-acre lot with trees, a small fenced yard off of the downstairs patio (perfect for small to medium dogs, with prior approval). Aspen is a scenic 43-mile drive over 12,095-foot Independence Pass, Colorado’s highest paved pass, where you'll find fabulous summer activities, like the Aspen Summer Music Festival and great bars and restaurants. Historic Leadville is 19 miles away with affordable dining, shops, and museums. The tiny town of Twin Lakes, 2 miles west, has a restaurant and cafe. Fabulous hiking, mountain climbing, mountain biking, and cross country skiing are available in all directions. Boating activities on Twin Lakes and fly-fishing on the Arkansas River are only minutes away. Lively Buena Vista with restaurants and brew pubs is only 23 miles away.

About John Stetson
We are empty-nesters with two grown children. We have finally realized our dream of owning the perfect cabin nestled in Colorado's most beautiful high-country. Our dog, Sienna, is our constant hiking and cross-country skiing companion. We love the Twin Lakes area year round - spectacular above-timberline hiking in the summer and champagne powder for skiing in the winter! Lake County has more cross-country ski trails than any other county in Colorado, and perfect conditions all winter! We can't stay inside, because there is too much to do outdoors!
John Stetson purchased this cabin in 2009
Why John Stetson chose Twin Lakes
We have stayed in vacation rentals all over Colorado and picked Twin Lakes because of its spectacular views and the availability of every type of winter and summer sport. We take advantage of music, art, and fine dining in Vail and Aspen and enjoy the historic charm of Leadville. Our cabin is a two-hour drive from Denver, which allows us to use our cabin frequently on weekends. The cabin feels cozy for just the two of us, but has ample space for our family gatherings. We aren't in a city--we are in the MOUNTAINS, and our cabin feels like a real getaway, far from the crowds, traffic, and chain stores/restaurants that have recently infiltrated other mountain communities.
What makes this cabin unique
We enjoy the best hiking and cross-country skiing Colorado has to offer! We are 45 minutes from Copper Mountain, where we enjoy down-hill skiing in the winter without any traffic. We visit Mount Princeton Hot Springs with its outdoor pools and spa services year-round. We visit Aspen for high-end shopping, fabulous music, gourmet restaurants, and people-watching.

Wonderful Week
We have only good things to say about our week at the Treehouse cabin. The views of the mountains and lakes from inside and on the great deck are hard to beat. The interior is tastefully decorated, comfortable furnished, and thoughtfully laid out. The kitchen is well equipped for meal preparation. We had a great time and hope to return.
Bravo!
Well done in every way. Cheers. Thank you for an amazing stay.
Great property!
This cabin is conveniently located to Twin Lakes/Leadville/hiking trails. It is very clean & the deck has fantastic views. The owners responded quickly to any questions I had. We had a very comfortable stay here & would recommend this cabin to anyone who likes the high living in Twin Lakes. I hope to stay here again in the future.
So much to do close to the cabin
We stayed in the cabin for 9 days and really enjoyed the views and layout a lot. It is the most well stocked rental we have ever had through VRBO. We like to cook while on vacation and this kitchen had all of the utensils, spices, oils and such that we needed. It was fantastic, especially since we flew to Colorado. The beds were comfortable and there is a extra 1/2 bath on the ground floor next to the downstairs bedrooms. This made it easier to deal with more people in the cabin.
The cabin is well located for lots of great hikes by being at the entrance to Independence Pass. It is also close to a lot of rafting companies, too. Perfect location for what we wanted to do: Hike, kayak and enjoy gorgeous mountain views. We found that if it was rainy in Twin Lakes, it wasn't in Independence Pass or other areas. They also have tons of board games, cards and such to use. My kids loved the game options and the bin of legos!
Great cabin & location
Cabin was perfect for our family of 5. We really appreciated the cookies and wine that waited for us upon arrival... a nice touch.
We really enjoyed our stay at your property. It was very clean which is most important to my wife.
We truly enjoyed our stay, in your pet friendly and very clean place. The porch was great for eating and relaxing on. The neighborhood was very quite with friendly neighbors. We ate every meal but one in the equipped kitchen. Thanks to the Stetsons!!!!!
