Most beautiful views in Colorado! Quiet surroundings! Very close to nature, lakes and trails just down the road! Close drive to 2 awesome towns with great places to eat and shop! Close to all the outdoor adventures, hiking, biking, camping, fishing, rafting or just hanging out and reading book. Dark skies for watching for shooting stars!
Quite peaceful and quiet with great views. As with most

Quite peaceful and quiet with great views. As with most Airbnb places, the pots and pans are in end of an upgrade. Though, the kitchen had some spices, cooking oil and tupperware.

Black
I really enjoyed the stay at The Trout Retreat. It was calm, quiet, and cozy cabin. Cabin was clean and well maintained. It does offer all the needed amenities. Really a sweet cabin. Spectacular view of the mountains. It is bit confusing to reach the area especially at night, so I suggest get there during day time for the first visit.
Cute cabin.

Wonderful little cabin with views even better than the pictures
Eric
Wonderful little cabin with views even better than the pictures they include! Only suggestion would be for the futon to pull out although I believe it's unable to be folded out intentionally - would be nice for 2 people when they want to sleep separately. But overall it's a great place to stay when you want to get out of the city and enjoy the surrounding area!

We had a great time here. It was clean and easy to access. My only complaint is the shower head in trout cabin was only about 5’ tall, so we had to crouch to use it. Other than this, it was awesome! Thanks for the great stay!

67 Mt. Hope Dr., Trout Cabin
W. Scott F.
Twin Lakes is a beautiful getaway spot, and Trout Cabin is a short drive up from the lakes, and perfect for a couple. There is a minor Google navigating error that tells you to turn on Pan Ark Drive while the street sign says Ross Drive, so don't be confused, just turn left at Ross Drive when Google says Pan Ark Drive. The cabin has a pleasant view of the mountains across the lakes. Twin Lakes doesn't have a lot of amenities that are consistently open, so bring your own food and use Trout Cabin's efficient little kitchen with gas stove, microwave, and refrigerator. The lakes are great for paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing with spectacular mountain views. There are also plenty of excellent hiking options.
Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. On the road
D
Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. On the road with our dog and after several nights in a motel room it was great to get in the Trout cabin with a kitchen and other amenities. After receiving our check in instructions we were a little worried about the road to the cabin, but we had no problem with our Infiniti sedan.
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.

We loved our stay here
Rachelle
We loved our stay here. The cabin was easy to access and the cabin felt super comfortable and we felt at home. I will say there were some weird stains on the inside of the bathroom door and when we arrived the stove was on which was a little weird. I would still 100% stay here again though. The host goes above and beyond with communication and the location is AMAZING. You’re literally a 5 minute drive from twin lakes. The Cabin has amazing wifi and a good tv. The cabin is calm quiet and labeled well. All in all we did enjoy our stay a lot.

Cheyanne
It was my dogs and I’d first road trip (they’re huskies). I can’t recommend this place enough. Close to Mount Hope, and that walk was a winter wonderland! We’re visiting in spring break. There’s not much to do around, but the scenery around the cabin makes up for it. The STARS at night at this cabin are magnificent. We could hear coyotes at night and see deer often. The cabin is private and intimate for the most part. It had everything we needed and an unbeatable view. So so cozy and clean. The coffee and pots and pans came in so handy. I would LOVE to stay here again!!! ❤️❤️❄️

Mark
All in all the stay was great. Worked very well for 3 nights of our two week road trip and was so thankful to have a clean, well done place to stay after spending the days in the mountains. The views really are outstanding. The only SLIGHT inconveniences were parking was a little far from the door and our unit was not very private, not deal breakers. The bed was very comfortable and everything worked well.
Thankful for our stay and wished we would have had more time to explore the twin lakes area.

Margaret
I stayed here with my boyfriend with the intention of climbing as many 14ers as possible - so this was the perfect base as there are so many peaks within an hours drive! (Mt Elbert trailhead is 15-20 min away!) It was super cozy, the kitchen was well stocked and we the cabin felt very private even though it is in a group of 4 cabins. Everything was so cute and cozy, and there were even a bunch of board games for us to play as well! The view from the front is amazing, and sunrise + sunset over the mountains are so beautiful to watch. The hosts were super responsive and their house manual was extremely detailed. Definitely will stay again!

Make sure you buy groceries in case you don’t feel like going out at night. The view of the surrounding mountains is spectacular. Overall a great experience.

Mandy
We loved the ability to be right around the camping and lake activities but with a kitchen, shower and comfortable king size bed to retreat to. We enjoyed preparing our own meals, coffee overlooking the lake in the morning and slept (& napped!!) great.
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.

Liane
We loved our stay in Twin Lakes! Of all the places we stayed in during our road trip through the Rockies in Colorado, this was our favorite. It felt the coziest, had any amenity we may have needed, and made us feel at home. I’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s where owners generally skimp on furniture & amenities. This place did not, making it incredibly comfortable and lovely to stay inside. There is even a heater in the bathroom! We only stayed one night but would have gladly stayed longer.
The neighborhood was nice to walk through, lots of gorgeous aspens. Place was clean. Communication was prompt and clear.
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.

For those on the taller side, the shower head is short (not a problem for me!) but problem-solved with a hand-held nozzle attachment.
Great place and amazing views. Perfect size for two people.

Thanks for the wonderful stay in Twin Lakes at Trout Cabin!! My dog and I stayed a few days and thoroughly enjoyed both the cabin and the beautiful views all around. I worked from the cabin while staying there and the WiFi was strong and stable enough to take video meetings. Communication was clear and quick every time I reached out. Highly recommend!! Thanks for your hospitality!

Staying at Trout Cabin was wonderful. We had no problems arriving at the location. The view and the surroundings are beautiful. Downtown is not far away, and neither are several ski resorts. The cabin is nice and cozy and provides pretty much all the appliances we needed. Would go back without a doubt.

Lauren
The cabin was fantastic. It snowed and the lakes were frozen so we didn't get to see the beautiful blue water but did spot a couple ice fishers. 4x4 or AWD is absolutely needed in wet weather. The road leading up to the cabin is not paved but it was decently level and didn't contain any debris. Download the check-in instructions before you get there as service is very very spotty. The closest food options are a 30 minute drive one way. We're already planning to go back in the summer months when we can fully enjoy the lakes, cook on the grill, etc.

Stay was awesome - clear & straight forward directions, I would recommend staying here to anyone who’s interested in exploring the untapped twin lakes area. Just make sure you give yourself time and water to acclimate to the altitude! Property is i believe at 9600 feet of elevation 🙂

Jacie
This cabin was so cozy and just right for a mini get away. We went in the winter time and the views and the Mountains are just as breath taking as they are in the summer. Our favorite thing was the peace and quiet. We took the dogs on walks every morning straight from the cabin and it was so nourishing to our souls. On the practical side, the beds were very comfortable, the hot water was great, and everything was so clean and available. Highly recommend this stay!
Great views at this cabin. Comfy bed and a cozy

Brittany W., Dallas, TX
We were blown away with the views and beauty around us. Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful white Christmas. The cabin was very cozy and well stocked. The wifi didn't work while we were there but it was probably because of all of the snowfall the night before. We used our hotspot instead. Great heat, never got cold inside. Will definitely be back in the summer!

Stephanie
What an incredible view this space offers. We highly recommend reviewing all of the information sent out about this space including the drive up and where to park! Very helpful and to remain respectful of the place when leaving or checking out. We had everything we needed and just sad the Saloon wasn’t open when we visited so we brought pizza up with us from Leadville. It was quiet and comfortable. We needed an early check-in and we’re SO accommodating to that, thank you. We can’t wait to return!!!

Cassidee
This cabin was so cozy and comfortable with outstanding views right out of your sliding glass door! We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Trout cabin 🙂 The cabin is just a short drive to Leadville, where you can find restaurants, shops, dispensaries, etc. Our favorite breakfast & mimosas at Buchi, Earl’s dispensary prices can’t be beat and the staff was very welcoming. We can’t wait to stay again! Thanks for an amazing experience 🙂

Perfect space for a long weekend in the mountains! Views are amazing at all hours of the day and night and the space was cozy with a lot of amenities. Great location being near many of the trailheads and easy to get to Leadville or head to Twin Lakes and Independence Pass. Definitely recommend!
Perfect location, great access to the lakes and surrounding peaks.
Scott
Perfect location, great access to the lakes and surrounding peaks. Although we stayed in October and couldn’t enjoy the full water activities at the lakes, the views were unbeatable and the cabin served as a perfect jump off point for exploring the Sawatch range. Enjoy this gem in the shadow of Mount Elbert.

Ben
This is a great find in a magical place! The apartment was very tastefully decorated, comfortable, well-supplied with kitchen needs, towels (for humans and pets!), and had one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in at an Air bnb. Be aware there are other guests nearby in other units on the property as it’s a little complex of units and was not quite as private as we expected. However, the other guests were friendly and respectful of quiet time and it was not a problem. Highly recommend this listing! It was definitely a catch!

Breathtaking views! Super clean and has everything you need. Easy to access and close enough to a grocery store if you need anything yet far enough away to have your own privacy. Fishing, hiking and pretty much anything you can think of outdoorsy is just minutes away.

ShalomK
The home had the most gorgeous views. It seemed professionally designed on the interior with all the little things a guest might want. I would highly recommend this place!
Great location – feels very quiet and pretty remote apart
Carey
Great location - feels very quiet and pretty remote apart from the few other cabins nearby, but is still pretty close to both Leadville and Buena Vista. The views of the lakes and mountains just outside were fantastic, as were the stargazing opportunities. The cabin is quite small but worked fine for 3 people + a dog. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there was enough bedding to turn the futon into a bed.
This is an amazing location at a great price for
George
This is an amazing location at a great price for what you get.Were traveling across the country and genuinely considered cancelling out next night’s stay (at our loss) in order to stay here longer. Beautiful views everywhere and the cabin is well-furnished.

Great place with amazing views. The lakes are close enough to explore and the amazing to see from the couch. Overall it was a great place to stay.

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.
