About this house rental
Come relax in this three bedroom and 2 bath home. Located at the end of the road in a beautiful grove of pines and only minutes from the Mount Elbert trail head. This home has all the modern conveniences while offering a back country life style. Home is only 10 minutes to Twin Lakes and 25 minutes to Leadville. The breathtaking natural beauty of Colorado's largest glacial lakes, reflecting some of the nation's highest peaks, makes Twin Lakes one of the world's most scenic places. A fifteen-minute drive from Leadville, or hour-long journey over Independence Pass from Aspen, will take travelers to a peaceful world of pristine mountain landscapes. The Historic Village of Twin Lakes, once busy as a mountain transportation hub between Aspen and Leadville during the gold rush days, was described in 1885 as "the most charming summer mountain resort in Colorado." Very little has changed in Twin Lakes since then. In the event of inclement weather (ex: heavy snow, etc.) we will not be able to help with any vehicle issues. We recommend using 4-wheel and All Wheel drive vehicles to get to the property during these times. This location will meet all your needs.Lastly, we ask that you respect our highly valued water. Please be conscious of not watering outside, the length of your showers, how often you do laundry,etc. We thank you in advance for your efforts on this.Lake county license number 2025-077

This was a great location, and a comfortable space for our holiday getaway with friends. We had two couples and four kids, and this space worked well for spreading out, finding time together, and enjoying the views. As a packing list that may be useful for others since some of the essentials aren't available or are limited, you might want to consider bringing: extra tp, paper towels, trash bags, cooking oil, specific pots/pans if you will be doing much cooking (the ones there are limited and aging), hand soap, shower supplies (shampoo and soap), dishwasher pods, laundry detergent/pods, extra pillows as desired. If you come knowing you're responsible for some of these basics, you won't be disappointed to find that what is provided is more limited than some other vacation rentals. Overall, we had good communication from the host prior to arrival with entry instructions, and upon departure with reminders about checkout. We did find contradictory information about check-out procedures with what was communicated via text, in the online listing, and in the printed manual at the house, so some clarity here might be useful to make sure proper check-out procedures are followed. Thanks for the opportunity to stay here. We would certainly consider it again in the future.

Twin lakes is spectacular

The property was really nice, and my friends and I loved staying here. We were aiming to hike Mt Elbert and it was a great place to launch off from, and recover afterwards!
I loved the ping pong table!
However, there is no WiFi and when we tried to call to the hosts we could not reach them on any of the three numbers provided. We also struggled with carrying out the trash - we had no problem with packing it out but didn't want to drive two hours with trash in the car and there is very little information on where to actually take it and how to purchase the yellow trash bags Leadville requires for throwing it away.

Furnace was not functioning properly, spent a lot of time trying to trouble shoot it and communicate with the owner. Was cool, needed to rely on the gas fireplace to heat the whole place.
