If walls could talk, this home would have stories to tell! Originally operated as a brothel to serve the local mining community, this building is just about as old as CO’s statehood. Nonetheless, the rich history and charm of this 1880’s building has recently been updated with a chic, boho vibe. With an emphasis on comfort and convenience, this house is the perfect mountain escape.

Notes
Because of zoning laws, this home can accommodate 3 people maximum. If you exceed this number, you will be charged an additional $100 per person, per night.
Pet-friendly: feel free to bring your furry friend with an additional cleaning fee of $75 per dog. Maximum two dogs only. Sorry, no cats. Please let us know upon confirming the reservation.
This home is supported by well water and a septic system. These systems are very sensitive to items that are not water or waste. Flushing down solid items and trash could easily clog and disrupt the entire system. Please be conscious to use the trash for trash and solid items. For operation instructions and guidelines, please carefully your review your guidebook link when you receive it.
THE WILDLIFE:
There are plenty of animals around the premises, including many deer, foxes, multiple species of raptors and other birds, armadillos, bunny rabbits, black bears, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, coyotes and much more! You won’t see all of these at the cabin, but if you get out on the trails, you might get lucky...
FOOD & GROCERY
The nearest large grocery store is about 30 minutes away in Leadville. It is recommended that you bring your food/drink needs along with you. During the summer months, there are some eating options just down the block.
NATURE, WEATHER & TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS:
Our cabin is remote. Most of the time a 2WD is just fine but during the winter/spring months a vehicle that can navigate mud, deep snow, ice and drifting snow is a must and 4x4 is highly recommended. Please plan accordingly as we do not offer refunds due to road conditions and/or poor car choice. In winter months.
- Storm/road conditions may delay arrivals or departures - please plan accordingly.
- Close-toed shoes are ideal for this high-mountain scrub landscape and a must in the winter/spring months.
- We are located at 9,200 feet elevation - so please drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid altitude sickness.
- Be prepared and pack lots of clothing layers so you can adapt to ever changing conditions. Mountain storms come and go quickly.
- 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.
- Wildlife is somewhat rare but has been known to wander through, so please do not leave food outside at night.
OUTSIDE LIGHT:
Because the village of Twin Lakes is celebrated as a 'Dark Sky City,' everyone in town does their utmost to minimize the amount of exposed light outside their homes. For this reason, we only have a solar-powered light above the address to allow you to find the property but no other functional exterior light. Please bring a flashlight if you require light to be used outside.
OUTDOOR CAMERAS
To provide utmost safety to our guests and community, we have installed Blink video cameras at the exterior of both entrances. There is NO surveillance of any kind inside the home.
RESPECT:
This home is located in a remote, historic mountain town. 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 please consider supporting local dining and shopping during your stay.

Access
Speaking of snow, this is the Colorado Rockies so be prepared! We do our best to plow the area in front of the cabin and shovel the walkway. However, the remote nature of this place can make these tasks delayed. We do provide a shovel in case you need to clear a path.
