The Twin Lakes Inn & Saloon

All-time favorite Colorado lodging spot. There would be a stampede if word got widely spread how awesome this place truly is. Cozy, quaint, authentic, clean, quiet, budget friendly. I will go back again and again. In fact, I wish I was there right now.

The food & drinks were amazing. They even have vegetarian options, the black bean burger was really good! Our meat eater loved the blue cheese sauce they put on the filet. We stayed at the Old Miner's Cabin down the road from the Inn (found on Air BNB) but we ate at the Twin Lakes Inn and it was a great choice!

Fantastic food, amazing service, and super friendly staff! Probably the best meal I had in Leadville.

We had an amazing dinner at this cozy inn- Great staff and GREAT food- Coming from two New Orleanians. - Can't want to go back!

Stayed the weekend at the Twin Lakes Inn in Twin Lakes, Colorado. We had to stay the entire weekend because this Inn has a minimum two night requirement or you don't get a room at all. This 140 year old Inn made out of logs from the surrounding landscape is not going to fit anyone's definition of luxury accommodations but the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Please note, there is no TV and Internet is spotty and cuts in and out. The shower stall leaked on the tile bathroom floor and this had to be addressed or we would have had a wet mess. Every wood plank floor in this pioneering Inn is out of level and may or may not have been that way when it was built. But this gets the negatives out of the way right up front. Believe it or not the staff and the service are friendly and helpful. Trust me, that is hard to find in Colorado. And the food in the dining room is excellent. I'm serious. It is really good. The continental breakfast is adequate and good. But lunch and dinner at the Twin Lakes Inn are worth a drive even without an overnight stay. They are a little stingy with the alcohol but this seems to be a Colorado tradition everywhere I go. There are plenty of outdoor activities in Twin Lakes which has been a vacation location for over 100 years. If you like boating, mountains, camping, hiking, biking you will not be disappointed. We took the lake tour which takes you to an old abandoned hotel complex across the lakes I can't remember the name of right now. And the trip across the lake is worth it. All in all, a splendid time was had by all even with the Inn's shortcomings. Highly recommended because of the fact it is hard to even find decent food in that area of Colorado. A big thank you to the Inn staff for being so kind to us. They made us want to go back.
