The Space:

The Spruce Cabin sits on a quiet 1.2-acre wooded lot in Twin Lakes, surrounded by San Isabel National Forest and minutes from some of Colorado's most iconic 14,000-foot peaks.



The cabin has been updated with new finishes while keeping its mountain character. A wood-burning stove heats the main living area efficiently — firewood is provided and stacked outside. Electric baseboard heaters supplement in bedrooms and bath.



Kitchen:

Fully appointed with everything you need to cook for the group.



Amenities:

✔ Wood-burning stove + firewood provided

✔ Satellite WiFi

✔ Smart TV — stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube (no cable)

✔ Complimentary linens, towels, soaps, shampoos

✔ Free outdoor parking

✔ Reliable cell service



3 PROS:

1. Location — minutes from Mt. Elbert (14,440 ft), La Plata Peak, Huron Peak, and dozens of trails

2. Privacy — 1.2-acre wooded lot, no neighbors in your sightline

3. Wood stove — efficient heat, mountain atmosphere, firewood always stocked



2 CONS:

1. No A/C — at ~9,200 ft, open windows and fans keep the cabin comfortable in summer

2. Satellite internet — reliable in clear weather; storms can cause outages (cell service works as backup)



Guest Access:

Entire cabin is yours — please make yourself at home. Self check-in via keypad (code sent before arrival). Free outdoor parking on the property.



The Neighborhood:

Twin Lakes sits at the base of Independence Pass, between Leadville and Buena Vista, surrounded by the highest peaks in the Rocky Mountains. Mt. Elbert — Colorado's tallest at 14,440 ft — is a short drive from the cabin. The area is quieter and less crowded than most Colorado mountain towns.



» 15min ➔ Leadville (restaurants, shops, breweries, historic Main Street)

» 30min ➔ Buena Vista (Arkansas River rafting, Cottonwood Hot Springs, cafes)

» 30min ➔ Ski Cooper

» 50min ➔ Copper Mountain

» 50min ➔ Aspen via Independence Pass (open May–November)

» 1hr ➔ Vail



Year-round outdoor access from the cabin:

✔ Winter: Nordic skiing and snowshoeing right outside the door; downhill at Ski Cooper, Copper Mountain, or Vail

✔ 14er access: Mt. Elbert, La Plata Peak, Huron Peak, Mt. Massive — all within 30 minutes



The Colorado Trail and Continental Divide Trail pass through the Twin Lakes area. Twin Lakes itself offers fishing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding.



Getting Around:

You'll need a car — there's no public transit or reliable rideshare in Twin Lakes.



AWD/4WD is recommended year-round and essential in winter. The cabin is on a rural road. Roads and driveway are plowed, but delays happen — be prepared for snowy conditions Nov–Apr.



From Denver (DEN): ~2hr drive via I-70 W to Hwy 91 S, then Hwy 24 to Twin Lakes.

From Eagle/Vail (EGE): ~1.5hr drive.

From Aspen (ASE): 50min over Independence Pass (May–Nov only; 3+ hrs via I-70 in winter).



Once here, Leadville is 15 min north for groceries, restaurants, and supplies. Free parking at the cabin.
