About this property

Fabulous Views, Sleeps 8, 3 Full Baths, Family-Friendly #2024-098

Located high above Twin Lakes, our river rock and log-style Mountain House overlooks several of Colorado's 14'ers, including Mt. Elbert (the highest peak), Parry Peak and Mount Hope. A short walk up the hill behind us reveals Mount Massive. Our property is adjacent to two empty lots including national forest service land, giving the illusion of being the only house on the mountain. The house sleeps 8 in easy comfort. The upper floor offers a master bedroom with a king-sized bed and walk-in closet, a bedroom with bunk beds, a full bath, laundry room and loft area overlooking the lake/mountain view. The main floor includes two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and one with a trundle, a full bath, kitchen and living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a wood-burning fireplace. While we’ve elected to forego the cable, we do offer WI-FI and there is an entertainment center which includes a Smart TV to stream your favorite movies, DVD, VCR, CD player. The walk-out basement boasts a finished game room with foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, and pop-a-shot basketball. The bedroom on this floor contains two queen-sized beds and a carpeted floor and the best view! Full bath included as well as a utility room with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer. You’ll want 4WD or AWD most months to handle the hills, dirt roads and occasional slippery weather.

Incomparable Views!
It was time for our sister get together and this property checked off all our boxes. The property is beautiful and very well equipped. The host, Carrie, was super responsive regarding simple questions about amenities as well as providing us an alternate route to the property when an unexpected road closure popped up. The views of Twin Lakes is incredible from the expansive deck as well as through the huge wall of windows. We took countless photographs of the snow capped mountains. It was hard to leave.

Amazing home and beautiful views!
The home was everything and more. Breath taking views, warm and cozy, plenty of room inside, and then some! So pleased with our stay and would love to come back. Only complaint is getting to the property. A bit hard to locate via maps and roads are not for the faint of heart. When owner indicates 4 wheel drive highly recommend....they mean this! Narrow roads that are not publicly maintained: subject to snow, mud, ice. Parking is also limited to 4 tight spots....but fits 3 cars comfortably. In conclusion though, once you get there its totally worth it.

Spectacular Lake and Mountain Views
Amazing mountain house with all the amenities of home. The owner was very helpful answering all of our questions. We visited during a winter storm that had close to 2 feet of snowfall which was a bit wild but thankfully the neighborhood is plowed and with a four wheel drive we where able to navigate. The home has all kitchen accessories and daily necessities to avoid a major shopping trip to Safeway. Skiing and local attractions are not to far away. Our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer. If we ever make our way back to Twin Lakes we hope to stay again!

Epic Winter Views!
This property is fantastic. The pictures don’t do it justice at all. It has a wonderful view of Twin Lakes and the surrounding mountains. Every morning we were there, several deer were walking past the balcony. The house is fully stocked from the kitchen, restrooms, bed rooms, game room, and different outdoor accessories in the garage. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Views, views, and views!!!!
Upon entering the cabin, the view blows you away!!! You can just gaze out across the balcony onto the beautiful lake and mountains all day long. The house was well stocked with all essential items. Carrie answers the phone promptly if any issue arise. Our issue was more user error than anything (we didn’t realize we had to turn the lock after entering the code, ha!). The game room is so much fun! This house works great for 8-12 people. Our Thanksgiving was definitely one to remember. Last but not least, although it was pretty chilly during our stay and we got snow, we still managed to get some fishing in and caught the most delicious trout we have ever had from a lake. I’d love to visit this cabin again during the summer months. Thanks for a great experience.

Perfect Mountain Retreat
Family gathering had a wonderful time enjoying all that Twin Lakes, Leadville and Buena Vista had to offer - majestic Mountain View’s - fishing - hiking - white water rafting - rock climbing - family game time - and lots of down time. Owners were responsive to our needs and provided a listening ear as nearby construction interrupted water service during lit stay. Our family - six adults and three children - had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy!

What a view!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a VRBO house in Twin Lakes, CO, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The house was impeccably clean and well maintained, making us feel comfortable and right at home from the moment we stepped inside. One of the standout features of this property was the spacious living area and deck. It provided ample space for our group of seven male friends to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company. The deck offered breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery, making it the perfect spot to start our mornings with a cup of coffee or end the day with a barbecue. The location of the house was ideal for our group, as we were eager to explore the outdoor activities Twin Lakes had to offer. The proximity to hiking trails allowed us to immerse ourselves in the stunning natural beauty of the area. We spent our days on the water, fishing and engaging in water sports, thanks to the convenient access to the nearby lake. Throughout our stay, the owners demonstrated excellent communication and attentiveness. They were responsive to our inquiries and provided us with helpful information about the local attractions and dining options. Their hospitality made a difference and added to the overall positive experience. In summary, I highly recommend this VRBO house in Twin Lakes, CO, for anyone seeking a memorable getaway.

Twin Lakes and the Rockies
A beautiful view of the Twin Lakes, Mt Elbert and the mountains of the Independence Pass. The Skluzak Mountain Home was more than advertised. It is spacious, clean and well stocked with all the needed items, utensils, towels, dishes, games, and essentially anything that you would need to enjoy your time in the Rockies. Carrie made the process easy and provided answers to all questions asked. I really have no complaints - however, I would have any prospective resident to consider the fact that the house is located at over 9700 feet msl; so if anyone in your party is prone to altitude sickness, be prepared for some adjustment to the thin air - otherwise just enjoy the view.

This home is ideally located to get incredible sunset or night star views. The open space made it comfortable for our family to cook and eat together without stepping on each other. The views from the main bedroom (top floor) are incredible. Everything was clean, well organized, and comfortable.

Twin Lakes get away
We (grandparents,, kids , and grandkids) loved staying in this rental. There are bedrooms on all 3 floors with bathrooms. The game room was a big hit - lots of ping pong. Our grandsons got much better over the 5 days. Hiking at Independence pass, whitewater rafting, fishing in the lake, and the Interlaken and Ptarmigan Lake trails were great! And the views from the house are spectacular!

Spectacular
Our family makes a point to visit Twin Lakes once a year, it is our favorite place for a secluded getaway. We LOVE the Skluzak cabin! On our most recent trip, my husband & I took our 3 children, along with our niece and nephew & 2 of our in-laws. We had a total of 5 children and 4 adults. The cabin was plenty spacious for us, there were enough beds for everyone to sleep comfortably, there was even an extra room/bed to spare that we didn’t use (on this trip). Our 2 favorite things were the view & the basement! The view is unbeatable. It’s truly spectacular. We found ourselves not wanting to leave the cabin to explore, because it was easier to relax and just take it all in from the porch or living room. The basement was perfect for our group, with 5 children under 11. Kids being noisy?Send them to the basement! The adults loved that we were able to chill & the kids could play as loudly as they wanted downstairs. We never heard those dreaded words “I’m bored” on this trip! The basement had plenty to keep them entertained. We played a few of the provided board games, and brought one of our own. There aren’t many DVDs to choose from, but you can stream Netflix, which I can tell you is a true luxury in Twin Lakes. However, I’m not sure that we even turned the TV on during our stay. I love that they stock the cabin with things like laundry detergent, common spices, paper towels, kleenex, etc.. We have learned to travel with these items because you never know what to expect on vrbo. Next time, I’ll save myself the stress of trying to remember all those little things. Carrie, the owner, was very helpful when I had questions. We will definitely return to the Skluzak cabin, hopefully sooner than later!

Great mountain retreat
Awesome location with amazing views! Great layout and enough space for 10 people without being on top of one another. We had a blast over the long holiday weekend cooking and hiking and exploring the Twin Lakes area. Well stocked kitchen that fits multiple people cooking. Very clean. We had amazing weather so we spent a lot of time on the deck but if it was too cold or rain/snowy there is plenty to do inside as well. The kids had a blast in the game room and we had some fun late night ping pong sessions. It's difficult to sleep at 9,500 feet. The beds were a bit hard and the pillows were a bit flat. If it's a sunny day, the living room is blazing but there are places like the loft and the basement to escape the high noon sun. Bring sunscreen and chap stick!

Took 3 families (of friends) to this incredible house and had an absolute blast !! We couldn’t have asked for a better house, location or experience in Colorado. The house had everything we needed and more. Can’t get over the incredible views we had (morning, Noon and night).

Why they chose this property

We wanted to be in the mountains but so much mountain property just looks at trees. When we found this lot, with THIS VIEW, we knew we could look at it forever.
