This was an excellent place to stay to experience Twin
This was an excellent place to stay to experience Twin Lakes. We had a quick trip for our daughter’s elopement and this was close to their Airbnb. The communication was great. We had the possibility of hosting another daughter and her dog last minute. The replies to our inquiries were quick. The kitchen is very well stocked. We didn’t utilize it very much because our trip was brief. We would definitely come back as there are so many amazing hikes nearby. The place was as described and hosts were friendly and communicative.

Great little place to stay! Very clean and comfortable! We would absolutely book this cabin and with these owners again!!Just a note to help you plan for your trip… If you plan on using the kitchen a lot, you may want to being disposable plates & utensils and plates/bowls as there isn’t a dishwasher and the dishes they have are limited. No complaints, everything was wonderful, but I would’ve packed a little differently had I known this.

This was our first ever Airbnb stay. Absolutely loved our stay. It was cozy and quiet. When there was an alarm going off we were able to get ahold of someone quickly and they helped us figure it out. Will definitely be back to this place again!

4x4 isn’t required during the summer months but would definitely be required in the winter. Great spot with an awesome view of the lakes from the sitting area. We were in the Bear Cabin which is behind other cabins so unfortunately no view from our spot. I’d recommend staying here.

Exactly what we were looking for! We were able to find the cabin easy, and very little traffic around. Had some neighbors but barely knew they were there. Beautiful scenery, amazing view of the lakes and mountains around! 30 minutes from hot springs in Buena Vista!
Great place to stay
This is a review for the Bear cabin. Our stay here was great, it's very close to local points of interest and all the amenities were provided. Very comfy place to stay.
Not a great view from inside this particular cabin, but all you have to do is step outside. For the view, we would have gone with one of the other cabins on the property had they been available, but the $ savings with this one was nice so I can't complain. We spend most of the trip outside anyways.
Only thing I would add is I would make it more clear on this listing which cabin you're actually renting here, I was pretty sure this was for the Bear cabin when I booked it but not 100%.
Clean, cozy & as advertised. Great jumping-off point for Elbert

Beautiful cabin in Twin Lakes, Colorado, it was an unforgettable
Beautiful cabin in Twin Lakes, Colorado, it was an unforgettable experience! The cabin was cozy, well-maintained, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight was the breathtaking view of the frozen lake—an absolutely stunning winter wonderland. Watching the sunrise over the ice-covered water with the mountains in the background was magical. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful retreat, whether you’re looking to relax or explore the snowy outdoors. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

The best part about this location is undoubtedly the incredible view! But even as incredible as the view is, the cabin is close with the cozy vibe, all the amenities, and everything worked so well! The heat was IMPRESSIVE as our entire stay, the weather was below freezing with multiple inches of snow, and we had to turn the heat down to keep from sweating! it was great.

The Bear Cabin was the perfect spot for our winter
The Bear Cabin was the perfect spot for our winter ski getaway! Nestled 20 minutes away from Leadville , we had a great time exploring the area after days on the slopes. The hosts were clear and kind communicators. We knew exactly what to expect in terms of getting to the cabin in winter conditions, especially since it is in a more rural area. The cabin had a well stocked kitchen, cozy sitting area, and comfortable beds. We had a great stay and definitely would come back to hike the area in warmer months.Thank you!

Stayed here for our honeymoon and loved it. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed, including games and plenty of tv options. But the best part of this cabin was the views! Pictures barely do it justice, the ride up to the cabin was magical and looking out from the cabin at the lake was literally breathtaking! Went when there was snow so it just added to the bmagic. Absolutely recommend!

Stayed in the Bear cabin, it was awesome. Near the front of the cabins, there’s a bench that overlooks twin lakes. About 10 minutes away there’s a coffee shop and a food truck that sells pizza. Lastly, the bed was super comfy. I wish I knew the mattress brand. 10/10

This cabin was a lovely little stay! Beautiful views and the area was peaceful. It was nice to have a grill to grill out every night. I think another review mentioned the oven being small and not having a pan to properly fit, which is still the case. I'm mostly calling this out so future people can accurately plan meals (i.e. probably shouldn't plan to roast your thanksgiving turkey here).
No issues, management was responsive, and the place was described perfectly as in the description. Would stay here again! Thank you!

We had a great time
We had a great time. The cabin stayed warm. The washer and dryer were super nice to have. There were dishes, pots and pans, laundry soap, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. There was lots of wildlife in the area. None right at the cabin but if you drove for 20min you could find bighorn sheep, deer, and elk.
The things that frustrated us were that there wasn't a fly swatter. We are used to the outdoors and know that bugs get inside, but give us something to kill them with. It also might be worth mentioning to guests to do tick checks. As soon as the snow is gone, the ticks are out and we found so many out on our adventures. The other thing that frustrated us was that we couldn't find a broom. We wanted to sweep up a mess and were left cleaning the floors with paper towels.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and we'll likely return!

The place was exactly as described in the listing. Quiet cabin and surroundings and a lovely view of the twin lakes and the mountains right outside the cabin. Perfect spot to getaway from the crowded towns and immerse yourself in nature. The drive to the cabin is beautiful as well. Definitely worth it if you like a private, off-the-grid cabin experience. The nearest town was not more than 30mins away.

Perfect little cabin in the mountains
We loved the views from the bench and if it was warmer a fire would have been so relaxing to sit by. Directions were good. Only complaint is there was coffee, filters but no coffee maker. Bring extra food because the one restaurant close was too busy to take us and we didn’t want to drive 30 mins for a grocery store or another restaurant so we ate what we had.

The location is quiet just off a county road that
The location is quiet just off a county road that lets you relax peacefully above Twin Lakes. In late fall and winter when snow becomes an issue make sure you have a high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle to get to Airbnb. But if it is summer a rav4, Subaru forester, or similar car will be just fine.
Hosts are easy to reach out to so that made things easy if there were any issues or questions. 30 min outside of Buena Vista or Leadville makes this a great location for trail runners, hikers, mountain bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Stars are beautiful at night on this hill top.
Saw families in the other cabins during the day but as close as the cabins are everyone was super considerate of everyone else and it was very peaceful. Washer and dryer helped with reducing number of clothes to pack.
Full kitchen makes it easy to make your own meals and feel right at home.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear cabin. The cabin is well-appointed and has every amenity you could want including streaming TV and a washer and dryer. They had basics like coffee and sugar and cooking oil and a few basic condiments in the fridge, so if you're planning to eat in it's less expensive not having to buy absolutely everything. It was wonderfully quiet at night and the stars are very bright! The location is close to dozens of wonderful hikes. We were very comfortable and would absolutely consider visiting again.

Convenient location and overall nice
There were a few nuances like the deck heater not working, the trash cans being full and not a lot of room to dump your trash and not very bear proof, being very close to the next cabin, and the beds not being very friendly for tall people. The location was great and wonderful views. We were looking for a location close to the lake, but easier than camping with two young kids!

Great little cabin at Twin Lakes. Clean, comfortable beds, and warm once we got the heaters going. As 2 people the space worked well for us, though if 4 stayed there, the living room area would be just enough seating to hang out. I thought it was a little pricey, but that’s life these days.

The Bear Cabin is located in a peaceful neighborhood with
The Bear Cabin is located in a peaceful neighborhood with stunning natural surroundings. It's a perfect spot to escape city lights or noisy roads and reconnect with nature. We drove less than 10 minutes to hike along the Colorado trail along the twin lakes; the lake is frozen with snow on top, and we saw some locals ice fishing. Leadville, the town nearby less than 30 minutes drive, has extensive xc skiing or walking tracks that go through old mining sites while surrounded by mountains in the background horizon. The town has a rich history for anyone interested in the old west. The AirSimplicity host team is very responsive, and we will be delighted to stay here again when we return next time.

The checking in and out process was simple and easy. Host was always quick to respond. The cabin was cozy and clean and had everything I needed and then some. The parking was right by the cabin and there was plenty of space for our vehicles. Next time I stay I'll probably pick one of their cabins at the front with a view of the lake as this cabin was more towards the back. I enjoyed my stay and look forward to my next visit back!

Had a great stay there with a friend visiting from MI. Cute cabin with a beautiful view of the lake in the front. It was exactly what we were looking for. Worked perfectly for the 2 of us. We were able to cook up some nice dinners with the kitchen and grill provided. Also enjoyed our hikes around Turquoise lake and Timberline lake trail. Would definitely go back and rent again

This is a great place to stay if you are looking to do some hiking in the Twin Lakes/Mt. Elbert/Leadville area. The cabin was modest, but had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable stay and cook some easy meals. Communication was quick and easy! We would stay here again if we were in the area.

The location of this cabin is amazing. We enjoyed the great views while going for walks or sitting on the bench outside. It was not even a five minute drive to Twin Lakes. It was so close that we would kayak in the morning and come back in the evening to take in the views of the lakes and the mountains. Bear cabin was cute and cozy and provided us with everything we needed for our stay. If your looking to go out to eat or buy things you will have about a 20 minute drive to Leadville, something to be aware of if you need to buy food or drinks. There is a restaurant and some food trucks in the town of Twin Lakes but it is a very small town. We will definitely be back!!!
Great experience!

Location is amazing! The small "downtown" of Twin Lakes is only open for weekend business but that was no problem for us. We spent time enjoying the lake and local trails and there are close towns nearby for groceries or eating out. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views are amazing as well!
Breath taking views just a few steps outside your door.

Great location in heart of the Rocky mountains
The Bear cabin was the perfect weekend winter getaway. It put us only minutes away from hiking and only steps away from breath taking views. The cabin was cozy, clean, and well equipped with everything we needed. Being able to bring our furry friends was an added bonus.

The cabin was very clean and had beautiful views just seconds from stepping outside. (as noted, no views from inside the cabin). Dog friendly was the biggest reason I stayed here. Temperatures got in the negatives and the place stayed very warm. Great location from multiple ski resorts without the i70 traffic. Will come back again.
Cozy and quiet
This was a super cozy cabin in an awesome and well secluded area. If you're looking to get away from people this is definitely a great spot to go. As discussed with the owners of the cabin there was construction on a building next door but was hardly even a bother at all. Would highly recommend this for anyone interested.

This alpine cabin was perfect for our needs. We were visiting the Rockies to go hiking and snowshoeing and greatly enjoyed our stay! The description is accurate in that there is no mountain view directly from the cabin, but sitting outside you can see the mountains and lake - and there are breathtaking views from all around the Twin Lakes area. The cabin was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a nice dinner.

The Bear Cabin was great with a bunch of great hiking trails nearby and a spectacular view a few feet from the cabin. While there was construction next door (as the host mentions), it wasn’t much of a disturbance at all.

Beautiful places to stay to get away would recommend it
Beautiful places to stay to get away would recommend it to anyone wanting a gorgeous mountain lake view combo. I had a blast fishing at many of the lakes and limited out on rainbow trout every day. Would love to stay at the cabin again thank you.
Great cabin!

Had a very nice stay here. It's run by a company named Air Simplicity. All my questions were answered in a timely manner. I like the way the cabin is decorated.
The views are lovely (although, you do need to go outside a few meters to see the views of the lake).
I think it's clear in other reviews, but just in case, you are not directly on the lake, but a few mins drive up hill from them). The road the cabin is on overlooks the lakes and it's beautiful! we watched a few sunsets, rises, and stargazing!

The view from this cabin is amazing. Check-in was so easy and just an awesome place to stay, away from the touristy riff-raff you'd normally find with legendary scenery like this.
Fantastic stay!
I loved this cabin. It was well designed, comfortable and had the most beautiful views I could have hoped for in CO.

Beautiful location. Easy to get to. Check in was a breeze. There is a small general store but the closest town with restaurants and a grocery store is 25 minutes away. This wasn't an issue but we just want people to be aware. Great communication with onwers. Very clean. We would stay again if we are in the area. Good cell signal and WiFi worked well.
What a beautiful space and stunning view! The cabin itself
What a beautiful space and stunning view! The cabin itself looks just as good if not even better than the pictures. We loved having a washer and dryer after long days of hiking/white water rafting and the shower was amazing! The full kitchen also came in handy for those hearty breakfasts. We spent the majority of time in the Buena Vista area which was only a short drive away and was better than almost any other accommodation for the price. Plus, our hosts were great at keeping in communication with whatever we needed.
Just a few tips. 1) Make sure to reserve some time for stargazing. 2) If you do NOT have a 4WD and/or high clearance vehicle, do yourself a favor and just follow the directions provided in your guidebook for coming to and leaving the cabin (taking Co Rd 10 <—> Pan Ark Drive <—> Mt Hope Road and going back the same way). We had seen a comment about being careful of a few roads in the winter, so we didn’t pay too much attention since we stayed in the beginning of June. Fast forward to us following GPS directions out from the cabin and we almost got stuck going down a road that a 2WD, low(ish) clearing vehicle should NOT be going down (this is if you continue going down Mt Hope Rd taking a small switchback/zig zag road towards CO-82 W).
Overall, 5 out of 5 stars and would definitely stay again or even more likely upgrade to one of the cabins with a direct view of the lakes and mountains!

The Bear cabin was great! My dad and I were on a trip where we were trying to hit several ski resorts in a week, and this place was perfectly located in the middle! It was easy to get in and out of the cabin, the place was cleanly, had plenty of room for us and all of our stuff, we had a place to cook some meals, and prep lunches, plus we were even able to do laundry! The hosts were very communicative and available to help us with anything we needed during for our stay!

The Bear Cabin is a grand little place. We went during the slower months of winter, and it was a perfect retreat from the city.
Open air, quiet and relatively secluded. The 4 cabins are close together, but I believe the photos show that well. The blinds can be drawn on any/all windows for as much privacy as you'd like!
The cabin all the kitchen gadgets we needed to cook all long weekend. We came prepared with plenty of food, but for those who don't know the Twin Lakes area, definitely come prepared with your own stores of food!
John and team were very communicative and provided helpful information. Check in with the door code was simple and straightforward.
