We chose to cook in since we had the dog and not a lot of pet friendly restaurant options in the village of Twin Lakes. We had everything we needed. I would suggest getting supplies in Leadville or other larger city before coming up. The General Store was very limited in Twin Lakes.
Enjoyed the outdoor space with lake view.

They’ve thought of all the amenities and were easy to work with. Although more than we would typically spend for this type of trip, we thoroughly enjoyed our time.
The pictures make it seem more remote than it is; it’s nestled in a quiet mountain community of beautiful homes.

Do be careful to take the correct road up to the cabin. It’s mentioned in the directions. If you follow what they ask, it’s a normal, easy road that all cars can take. We did not, but we were prepared with an off-road capable vehicle and had some fun on our drive in.

- King bed w/ memory foam mattress & blackout curtains
- Full kitchen w/ stove, oven, coffee maker & basics
- Patio BBQ grill & communal firepit w/ seating

Space
Sleeping arrangements
Inside, the cabin offers a single bedroom with a king bed dressed with a memory foam mattress, blackout curtains, and extra pillows and blankets to make restful sleep easy. Board games and a 43" SMART TV provide cozy evening entertainment, while room-darkening shades let you linger in bed a little longer after sunrise. Families traveling with little ones can request a Pack ’n Play/travel crib for added convenience.
Kitchen & dining
A fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare meals just the way you like. Cook on the stove or oven, brew a fresh pot of coffee, and use the provided cooking basics for effortless meals. Step outside to the patio and prepare dinner on the dedicated BBQ grill, complete with utensils, before enjoying it against a backdrop of mountain views.
Outdoor living
After dinner, settle into the outdoor seating near the communal firepit. It’s a shared space, where you can trade stories under the stars with a few other guests staying in neighboring cabins. The combination of quiet seclusion and light connection makes evenings especially memorable.
Comforts & connectivity
Though perched at 9,200 feet, the cabin ensures you stay connected with fast STARLINK WiFi and reliable 4G cell service. Towels, shampoo, body soap, and other essentials are provided to keep packing light. Pets are welcome too, with up to two dogs permitted during your stay.
Arrival & local tips
Self check-in is simple with a smart lock, giving you a smooth start to your stay. Once inside, you’ll have access to an e-guidebook with curated recommendations for hikes, dining, and scenic drives in the area. The cabin’s location makes it a natural base for exploring the surrounding wilderness, then returning each evening to your own quiet retreat.
Trout Retreat Cabin combines rustic charm with practical comforts, creating a space where you can breathe deeply, unwind fully, and take in the dramatic beauty of Colorado’s alpine landscape.
Notes
BRINGING ALONG YOUR FURRY FRIEND?
Let us know a little about your dog(s) and we should be able to accommodate with an adjustment to our cleaning fee. $75 cleaning fee per dog, maximum two dogs only. 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 so 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 so 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.
5. 4WD is recommended throughout the year and required during winter months due to potential heavy snowfall.
RESPECT
The Trout Retreat Cabin is 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.
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.
FIRE
There is currently a fire ban in place. Violations of this prohibition is 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.

You will fall in love with the clear morning lake views and awe-inspiring panoramic perspectives. These gorgeous mountain views create an amazing backdrop for the ever-changing light show, which offers glorious sunrises and mind-blowing sunsets. Occasional passing storms and rainbows add to the magnificent display of nature.
