Amazing Week at Beautiful Mountain Lodge

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!

Best VRBO experience so far!

Donna was an incredible host! The house had everything we could possibly need, and all the previous reviews are absolutely spot on. The pictures don’t do the breathtaking views justice! I especially loved the trail right beside the house, which was perfect for morning walks with my dogs.Since it was windy most days, we didn’t get to enjoy the wood firepit as much as we had hoped, but the gas firepit was a fantastic alternative. Donna was extremely accommodating and responsive, making our stay even better.We will definitely be staying here again. In fact, we loved it so much that we’re even considering buying a home in Twin Lakes in the future!

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.
