This historic inn sits in a beautiful scenic area surrounded by mountains. Much work has gone into renovating the old building. It has an old west vibe. Staff is quite helpful. Included, cooked to order breakfast was great. I wish they still served dinner as well. You can sit outside, take a walk, or just sit in the comfy lobby and gaze at the mountains. Room was very nice with an updated bathroom. Highly recommend a stay here, then a drive over Independence Pass in the summer

I take a yearly trip to the Twin Lakes Inn the first week in October. It is a great place to get away and relax, hike, experience the outdoors and friendly people there. Staff is always quite helpful. It is easy to meet the guests and residents as well.

Lovely location, clean and cozy. The antithesis of the generic roadside motel, the inn is charming and a bit of a throwback - in a really comfortable and homey sort of way. (e.g., no TV but a small common room equipped with books and games).

Great little gem to have a nice get away. Not far from trails, water and other small towns. No TV or radios in the room, great way to disconnect. You can always go downstairs and just talk and watch. Really thoughtful on the morning continental breakfast. Just a beautiful place to relax at.

If you want to experience a modernized historical property this is a good place. No TV, which was fine because we were there to hike, not sit in the room. It was odd that absolutely no staff seemed to be on the property Wednesday night through Thursday morning which was a little disconcerting. Also there was no dead bolt for the door. But it was clean and spacious. The restaurant Tuesday night provided a good meal.

Equipe muito prestativa, café da manhã incrível, um dos melhores de toda a viagem, quarto limpo, tem banheiro privativo fora do quarto, mas muito limpo. Foi uma grata surpresa. Tudo ao redor fecha as 6:30pm, caso precise jantar, chegar antes é uma boa alternativa.

Excellent hôtel familial très propre. Très bon petit déjeuner varié avec des produits de qualité. Personnel sympathique. Organisation de premier plan pour ce qui est de la communication et du check in. Tout parfait a presque 3000 m d’altitude.

Awesome spot.

We really enjoyed our two night stay. The place is uniquely charming - it combines some of the decor of a European alpine refuge with the quality of a great bed and breakfast . Needless to say - room and bathroom were squeaky clean. Excellent restaurant and super friendly staff!
