Welcoming family environment with majestic views!

We've had the pleasure of staying in this lovely home on two occasions and plan to return! Its convenient location, just a short drive to Leadville makes it a perfect choice if you are looking for a getaway with nearby restaurants. However, the kitchen is fully stocked with appliances for those who prefer home-cooked meals. Ski Cooper and Copper Mountain are both within an hours drive, and the breathtaking scenery make the drive to go skiing well worth it! Greg and Donna have thoughtfully curated a welcoming atmosphere, complete with a plethora of board games for family enjoyment. The reliable WiFi and phone service are an added bonus. Thank you, Greg and Donna, for graciously sharing your beautiful home with us once again. Countless family memories have been made here!

Great winter trip

The views and house are even better than described. The house is modern and clean with a great location. The owner left small gifts for us and had chilled mugs in the freezer. Lots of nice touches like that. Loved it.

One of the most gorgeous stays in Colorado!

This is the second time we have stayed here. The property was immaculate and it was one of the best rentals we have ever had! The views and location of this property are perfect for the “getting away” but not too far away from comforts! Twin lakes had been consistently one of the best fishing areas in Colorado. Having a trailhead directly outside the front door is such a treat. If you want the Colorado experience. STAY HERE!

Fall adventure

Our second time staying here and we love it! Very clean house and every amenity we could ask for. There were even beach towels for the lake. Great trails right out the door to walk our dog and did I mention Views Views Views!! We’ll definitely be back after the winter, we don’t think our suv will make it up the steep hills
