THE ROOM Settle into a snug mountain-lodge room with a comfortable Queen bed, fresh linens, and your own private bath. Heating keeps things warm on crisp alpine nights and Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while the windows frame the kind of mountain-and-lake views you came to Colorado for.
THE LODGE The historic Roadhouse Lodge sits right in Twin Lakes Village, with a welcoming porch made for morning coffee and evening stargazing. Easy self check-in means you can arrive any time you roll in from the trail.

Elbert trailhead, with world-class hiking, fishing, paddling and skiing all around: - Ski Cooper (Leadville) - 30 min - Copper Mountain - 50 min - Leadville - 20 min - Buena Vista - 25 min - Aspen (summer, via Independence Pass) - 1 hr - Monarch, Vail, Keystone & Breckenridge - about 1 to 1.5 hrs
