Historic Boho Brothel | Alpine Lake Retreat @ Twin Lakes Village | Starlink Wifi

If walls could talk, this home would have stories to tell! Originally operated as a brothel to serve the local mining community, this building is just about as old as CO's statehood. Nonetheless, the rich history and charm of this 1880's building has recently been updated with a chic, boho vibe. With an emphasis on comfort and convenience, this house is the perfect mountain escape. This uniquely remote getaway is located in the Twin Lakes Historic Village - recently named "Colorado's Prettiest Town" by the Denver Post. Nestled deep within a National Forest at the base of the Rocky's tallest mountains, you’ll stay within walking distance to trails that lead to rivers, beaches, lakes, historic sites and many untamed, magnificent natural wonders. Offering the best views in the state and immediate access to the wilderness just outside your door, this cabin will allow you to enjoy the wild, tranquil beauty like never before.

Our cabin is located on a county road that gets plowed when there's snow but we still recommend AWD/4x4 with good tire tread in the snowy months (generally December to April). Winter driving conditions on the highways leading to the cabin can change in very short amounts of time. We recommend checking the conditions before you start driving our way and plan accordingly. Colorado has some specific winter driving laws pertaining to tire requirements. The fine for violating the traction law is pretty expensive so we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the law before driving during the winter. Speaking of snow, this is the Colorado Rockies so be prepared! We do our best to plow the area in front of the cabin and shovel the walkway. However, the remote nature of this place can make these tasks delayed. We do provide a shovel in case you need to clear
