We wanted for nothing, as David's place had everything from comfortable throws, every appliance you'd ever need-plus, lights that magically turned on in the middle of the night to help see to the bathroom, magnificent east-facing windows from floor to ceiling for sunrise viewing and a fire pit complete with. hot dog forks. It's 15 minutes away from Twin Lakes and 25 from Turquoise Lake...and about the same from Leadville. Make sure you have your GPS on. If your aim is to get away from it all, this is definitely the place as it sits on a mountain. David was prompt with his responses to our questions. It's clean as a whistle and smells as good as a high-fallutin' hotel!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86796afa-b520-49c1-a6b6-c15a0077bbfb-1755732853189.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd4e3698-43df-400c-a8f8-66fcc74811c4-1755732853117.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b22d5bc-3a35-42aa-b9d9-9072dc9b3962-1755732854167.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### carol m. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grant E. 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Perfect Mountain Base in Twin Lakes We stayed just outside of Leadville in the Twin Lakes area and could not have been more impressed. The home was exceptionally clean—the kind of spotless you rarely find even in top-rated vacation rentals. Everything from the kitchen setup to the linens felt intentionally prepared for guests who appreciate comfort and attention to detail.What really set this stay apart was the host’s exceptional communication and thoughtful suggestions. His local insights helped us make the most of our time in the area. Whether it was trail recommendations, dining spots, or timing suggestions for nearby summits, his guidance was spot-on and genuinely helpful.The house itself served as the perfect launch point for every hike we considered. From Mount Elbert to scenic lake loops and forested ridge trails, we were within easy reach of it all. Waking up each morning to that quiet, elevated beauty and knowing adventure was just a few minutes away made this one of our most memorable stays to date.Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Twin Lakes and Leadville—with comfort, cleanliness, and care baked into every detail. ##### Grant E.
