Cabin Compound | Lake + Alpine Lookout | Fast Wifi

*This listing is for 4 adjacent cabins*

These cabins offer tranquility and adventure in a 9,200 feet high alpine wonderland, nestled among 14,000 feet peaks and endless wilderness. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Twin Lakes in this Rocky Mountain haven! Perfect for groups and families looking for an adventurous and inviting retreat. Each cabin has been completely renovated with a rustic-modern vibe to cater to your comforts. Your group will have exclusive access to the entire property.

We're here for you during your stay but our level of interaction is up to you. We are only a phone call or message away. You will be able to self check-in upon arrival. We are happy to assist via phone or through Airbnb before, during or after your stay.

Once a week, one of our team members will stop by the property to put out the trash cans, replenish our supplies, and/or restock sheets and towels. They will NOT enter the home. They have access to the storage or shed with a code. This day may or may not fall during your stay.

Enjoy stunning views of Mt. Elbert - the second-highest peak in the contiguous U.S. and Mt. Hope from the cabin. The ever-changing light show offers awe-inspiring sunrises, sunsets, occasional passing storms and rainbows against the clear morning lake views.

Twin Lakes, a remote historic mining town just two hours from Denver, is nestled in a National Forest with access to the wilderness outside your door. Our cabins offer the best views in Colorado and proximity to adventure towns of Buena Vista and Leadville. Experience the untamed, peaceful beauty of this undiscovered gem.

We are accessibly year-round. Our cabins are located on a county road that gets plowed when there's snow; however, we still recommend AWD with good tire tread in the snowy months (generally December to April). Winter driving conditions on the highways leading to the cabin can change rapidly, so check the weather before heading out. Colorado has some specific winter driving laws pertaining to tire requirements.

Need fast WIFI? Got you covered. With the recently released STARLINK satellite internet, we’ve got the fastest, most reliable internet available in the mountains. We provide STARLINK satellite internet on site with speeds of about 50-100 Mbps. Also, nearly all cell service providers will have consistent and reliable 4G connections.

There is no public transportation that will take you up here. You will need your own vehicle. In the winter, I would highly recommend a vehicle with snow tires and/or 4-Wheel drive.

***PLEASE NOTE*** Our rental property consists of four cabins located next to each other. The first and second cabins have two bedrooms and one bathroom, accommodating up to four guests each. The third and fourth cabins each have one bedroom and one bathroom, accommodating up to two guests each.

In the patio area, you'll find a dedicated grill space, part of our shared outdoor amenities. Enjoy evenings around the communal firepit, a cozy gathering spot shared among our four cabin properties.

Kindly note that the futons in the cabins are designed for seating only and are securely fixed in place. They cannot be converted into beds.

BRINGING YOUR FURRY FRIEND?
Let us know a bit about your dog(s) and we should be able to accommodate you. $75 cleaning fee per dog, maximum two dogs max per unit. Sorry, no cats permitted.

Events are subject to approval. Please note event fees will apply.

THE WILDLIFE:
There are animals around the premises including many deer, foxes, multiple species of raptors and other birds, armadillos, many rabbits, black bears, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, coyotes and more! You won’t see all of these at the cabin, but if you get out on the trails, you might get lucky...

MOUNTAIN LIVING:
1. We are located just shy of 10,000 feet. Please drink plenty of water to avoid altitude sickness.
2. Sometimes the wind kicks up to remind us of all the things we cannot control, but it usually settles down again within a few hours. You would be best not to leave belongings outside.
3. Wildlife is somewhat rare but has been known to wander through. Please do not leave food outside at night.
4. Be prepared with lots of clothing layers so you can adapt to changing conditions. Mountain storms come and go quickly.

RESPECT:
These cabins are located in a remote, tiny mountain town. Twin Lakes is pretty amazing; in fact, our family is a little apprehensive to share it with others. As visitors to the area, please think about your impact on our town and the small surrounding communities. Please respect full-time residents' privacy and solitude. Follow Leave No Trace guidelines when visiting and recreating in the beautiful outdoors, and consider supporting local dining and shopping during your stay.

FIRE:
In some months, there may be a fire ban in place. Please check and know the law before you leave. Violations of these prohibitions are punishable as a Class B misdemeanor by a fine of not more than $5,000. Please be careful and check with Lake County for more recent updates.

SMOKING:
We like to keep our cabins as fresh as the outside alpine air. If you need to smoke, you'll need to step outside to do so. There will be a $600 fine for any smoking inside the cabins.
