Donna was very sweet, left very clear guidance on how to use things, checkout preferences, etc. The property itself is beautiful, has amazing views, and was overall very clean. I plan on coming back here many times and can't wait for my next stay-cation!
This was our 2nd year in a row staying at this Twin Lakes house and we could not wait to come back. Donna is an amazing host and so accommodating, which makes the whole experience even better. The views are unbeatable and we really enjoyed the trail right next door. Our 1st day there it snowed all day long, and our guests had no idea the kind of view they were in for the following morning once the clouds cleared. The house is perfect and had everything we needed. After we rebooked, Donna told us they had added a fenced in yard, which was such an amazing and unexpected upgrade for our 2 pups. This is easily our favorite VRBO experience with our favorite location, house, and host. We hope to keep coming back for as long as they are kind enough to share this special place with strangers.
Donna’s home had everything we needed for a great Christmas in the mountains. The house was well stocked, comfortable, and the views are absolutely stunning. Would definitely stay here again!
The views at this fully equipped little mountain lodge are incredible, as are the hosts who always go above and beyond! Thank you for sharing your home and for your hospitality!
Love the cabin, location is wonderful, we hike the trails daily. Brought our Kayaks and the lake was smooth and beautiful.
Location excellent we drove to Snowmass and hiked maroon bells one day only 45 minute drive.

We loved having Jillian and her family. They took great care of the house and we had excellent communication. We would definitely love to have her again. We gave her a 5 star review on everything. (Technology issues are being worked on now to change the ratings, due to a phone snafu.) Everything was perfect 5 stars! Thank you Donna
Perfect location at the end of street. Quiet and views galore. Exactly what we needed as a getaway from the city. Host was responsive and made you feel welcomed as soon as you checked in.
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.
I don't usually leave reviews but this property was exceptional! Amazing views, plenty of activities nearby, a beautiful home, and wonderful hosts that even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy! We definitely hope to return!

Unobstructed views over Twin Lakes. The house was perfect for our family. My 3 year old loved the downstairs area and kid-friendly accessories. We can’t wait to go back!

The house is exactly as advertised and more. Clean and well-stocked, the house was outstanding with excellent views.
