This was a quiet getaway in a perfect location for it's proximity to Leadville, Buena Vista, and Twin Lakes. Getting the WIFI code was tricky but it all worked out.
I really enjoyed the stay at The Trout Retreat. It was calm, quiet, and cozy cabin. Cabin was clean and well maintained. It does offer all the needed amenities. Really a sweet cabin. Spectacular view of the mountains. It is bit confusing to reach the area especially at night, so I suggest get there during day time for the first visit.
Twin Lakes is a beautiful getaway spot, and Trout Cabin is a short drive up from the lakes, and perfect for a couple. There is a minor Google navigating error that tells you to turn on Pan Ark Drive while the street sign says Ross Drive, so don't be confused, just turn left at Ross Drive when Google says Pan Ark Drive. The cabin has a pleasant view of the mountains across the lakes. Twin Lakes doesn't have a lot of amenities that are consistently open, so bring your own food and use Trout Cabin's efficient little kitchen with gas stove, microwave, and refrigerator. The lakes are great for paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing with spectacular mountain views. There are also plenty of excellent hiking options.
This place was perfect for our little get away, I only wish the shower head was higher ( I am 5â6â and my husband is 5â9â) and the shower head came to my chest and the oven didnât work, but other than that it was a great little place and the scenery was amazing will be back for sure
We were blown away with the views and beauty around us. Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful white Christmas. The cabin was very cozy and well stocked. The wifi didn't work while we were there but it was probably because of all of the snowfall the night before. We used our hotspot instead. Great heat, never got cold inside. Will definitely be back in the summer!
