Excellent overnighter before climbing 14er

This is a cute, clean property. It was easy to find directions from Google Maps. We stayed here overnight before climbing Mt. Elbert, which the South trailhead was just a 7-minute drive from the house. The host was very responsive to my questions and I was all set when I got there. I recommend this place.

Perfect Location

We stayed in order to access Twin Lakes for ice fishing. The location was stunning and perfect for access to both lakes. The home was very comfortable for my husband and I. We appreciated the King bed and wood stove at the end of the day

Great spot in Twin Lakes

We stayed one night and really enjoyed the space. Cute and clean and a short walk to the Inn for dinner. We all enjoyed the views from the front porch.

Great Cozy House

Lisa had everything we needed and more. The location was walking distance to everything in Twin Lakes. We enjoyed having the recliners in the family room and the cozy kitchen where we prepared several meals.

Why they chose this property

The village at Twin Lakes grew in popularity once gold was discovered in the area, with commerce centered there for area miners. In the 1860s, the area, then known as Dayton, became the county seat. When gold was discovered on Independence Pass, a toll road was established between Leadville and Aspen, making Twin Lakes the transportation hub between the two towns. After the silver boom in Leadville in 1878 to 1879, Twin Lakes became a popular summer resort, attracting the wealthy. For a more detailed look at Twin Lake’s history, follow this historic walking tour, which highlights some of the town’s original buildings.

What makes this property unique

Interlaken Resort, located on the south side of Twin Lakes, was considered Colorado’s most beautiful resort in the late 19th century. Built in 1879 and expanded after James V. Dexter bought it in 1883, it had some of the best facilities for the time and was a popular stop for those who traveled to nearby mining towns, like Aspen and Leadville. Guests came to ride horses, fish, hunt, and cruise along the lakes in steam-powered boats. They stayed in the hotel or the hotel annex and relaxed in the tavern or pool hall.
