Donna was very sweet, left very clear guidance on how to use things, checkout preferences, etc. The property itself is beautiful, has amazing views, and was overall very clean. I plan on coming back here many times and can't wait for my next stay-cation!
Donna’s home had everything we needed for a great Christmas in the mountains. The house was well stocked, comfortable, and the views are absolutely stunning. Would definitely stay here again!
Very clean, house stocked with everything you could need (plus some extra goodies!), communication with the host was excellent, quiet neighborhood, trailhead right outside the door, gorgeous views. Would absolutely stay here again!
Perfect location at the end of street. Quiet and views galore. Exactly what we needed as a getaway from the city. Host was responsive and made you feel welcomed as soon as you checked in.
I don't usually leave reviews but this property was exceptional! Amazing views, plenty of activities nearby, a beautiful home, and wonderful hosts that even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy! We definitely hope to return!
This was our 2nd year in a row staying at this Twin Lakes house and we could not wait to come back. Donna is an amazing host and so accommodating, which makes the whole experience even better. The views are unbeatable and we really enjoyed the trail right next door. Our 1st day there it snowed all day long, and our guests had no idea the kind of view they were in for the following morning once the clouds cleared. The house is perfect and had everything we needed. After we rebooked, Donna told us they had added a fenced in yard, which was such an amazing and unexpected upgrade for our 2 pups. This is easily our favorite VRBO experience with our favorite location, house, and host. We hope to keep coming back for as long as they are kind enough to share this special place with strangers.
The house is exactly as advertised and more. Clean and well-stocked, the house was outstanding with excellent views.
We'll check our calendars for next year and see if we can stay there again.
The views did not disappoint. The outdoor fire pit was perfect for an evening of s’mores. I missed some early communication about our stay and Donna was very understanding. We wouldn’t hesitate to return again!
Our family had an amazing week staying at Donna and Greg's beautiful mountain lodge. The views were amazing and the pictures do not do it justice. The house was well stocked and very clean and comfortable. Donna and Greg were great to work with and quick to respond with any questions we had. We did not want to leave this beautiful spot and are looking forward to returning in the future!
The views and house are even better than described. The house is modern and clean with a great location. The owner left small gifts for us and had chilled mugs in the freezer. Lots of nice touches like that. Loved it.
The mountain views in this lake house are absolutely stunning. What a great space for family and friends with a well stocked pantry, and all the creature comforts. Very clean. W
We had a fantastic stay at Donna’s home. The home had everything you need for a cozy family vacation including a fully stocked kitchen, games and a lovely welcome gift basket from the owners. The home is situated in a perfect location with easy access to hiking trails and the lake. And the views are absolutely incredible. All communication was easy and prompt with Donna. We highly recommend this home and are already planning our next visit!
Our second time staying here and we love it! Very clean house and every amenity we could ask for. There were even beach towels for the lake. Great trails right out the door to walk our dog and did I mention Views Views Views!!
We’ll definitely be back after the winter, we don’t think our suv will make it up the steep hills
The last house on a dead end road that butts up to the National Forest. Lots of trails to walk on combined with the beautiful lake views. You can’t help but relax instantly. The house was lovely, clean, and exactly as advertised. Highly recommend it.
The house is as exactly as pictured, clean and comfortable! Great amenities from dishes and pans, to a portable fan to cool off our dog, as well as a baby gate to keep our dog away from the stairs. The outdoor space is as great as the inside, the views are amazing.
The owners were very accommodating and the bottle of wine and chocolates were a nice touch!
We’re anxious to visit again!!
House and amenities as described in listing and lovely. House was clean and had everything we needed. Views are great, nice variety of hiking trails nearby and house located in quiet area. The hummingbird feeder was very entertaining and fun to watch up close on the porch.
This is the second time we have stayed here. The property was immaculate and it was one of the best rentals we have ever had! The views and location of this property are perfect for the “getting away” but not too far away from comforts! Twin lakes had been consistently one of the best fishing areas in Colorado. Having a trailhead directly outside the front door is such a treat. If you want the Colorado experience. STAY HERE!
This property is truly wonderful! Perfectly appointed with everything you might need and more. The views are absolutely amazing and the property is just as it appears in the listing. The property manager was extremely responsive prior to our arrival and the house had all the information and instructions we needed. We stay in a lot of Colorado vacation rentals and this tops our list. Would highly recommended!
Peaceful Retreat with Breathtaking ViewsWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Twin Lakes property. The house was incredibly peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to cozy blankets, which made settling in effortless. One of the most magical parts of our stay was the large number of beautiful hummingbirds that visited daily. Watching them flit around the deck added such a special touch to the serene atmosphere. And the view—absolutely stunning! Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee or winding down in the evening, the scenery was unforgettable. Highly recommend this home for anyone looking to unwind and soak in the beauty of nature.
