Coloradans have known there is something special about Twin Lakes ever since the first settlers arrived all the way back in the 1800s. The highest mountains in the land rise on either side, above the tranquil waters of glacier-carved lakes, it's hard not to fall under the spell of this enchanting place. But these days Twin Lakes is special for a whole new reason, its untouched seclusion. Lakeside rests just a quick jaunt away from several of the most popular resort towns in the country while remaining a quiet and quaint snapshot of early Colorado life. It is your sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle that comes through these mountains, all while keeping you just a short distance from all that makes the high country such an exciting place to live.
Just out your door.

"Twin Lakes is perhaps one of the best remaining examples of a mountain village of the late 1800s. Nearly all of the buildings are of log construction and date from the two decades prior to the turn of the century. The town is well cared for by the inhabitants and looks much the same today as it did near the turn of the century."
