The Bear Den | Stunning Lake + Alpine Lookouts | Starlink Wifi

The Bear Den Cabin getaway offers you the best of both worlds: tranquility and adventure. This 9200 foot high alpine wonderland is nestled among 14,000 foot peaks, endless wilderness (BLM lands) and breathtaking panoramic views of Twin Lakes. You can have it all in this Rocky Mountain haven! **Bear cabin does not have a direct landscape view. Walk about 20 seconds out your cabin door to beautiful vistas. Bear cabin is tucked behind Wolf and Moose cabin.** Whether you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway, a family looking for a place to spend quality time reconnecting with each other, or just an adventurer looking for the ideal hop-off point, this inviting retreat can be your cozy home for a memorable holiday. The interior of this cabin is freshly and completely renovated with a rustic-meets-modern vibe. The cabin was designed and furnished to cater to all your vacation needs and comforts. The gorgeous lake views are just 10 steps away from your front door, but not directly visible from inside the Bear cabin. This cabin is one of four on the premises, so you may possibly meet some friendly, like-minded folks when you venture out of your private cabin. The cabins are nestled close to one another, with the Bear Den tucked in the back. If you require extra space or would like total outdoor privacy, please reach out about booking additional cabins!

Our cabin is located on a county road that gets plowed when there's snow; however, we still recommend AWD with good tire tread in the snowy months (generally December to April). Winter driving conditions on the highways leading to the cabin can change rapidly, so check the weather before heading out. Colorado has some specific winter driving laws pertaining to tire requirements.

Twin Lakes, Colorado, United States LOCATION & THE TOWN OF TWIN LAKES Just outside the cabin you will enjoy stunning views of Mt Elbert - the second highest peak in the contiguous U.S. as well as of Mt. Hope, another of the tallest peaks in Colorado.You will fall in love with the clear morning lake views and awe-inspiring panoramic perspectives. These gorgeous mountain views create an amazing backdrop for the ever-changing light show, which offers glorious sunrises and mind-blowing sunsets. Occasional passing storms and rainbows add to the magnificent display of nature. A mere two-hour drive from Denver, Twin Lakes is a remote historic mining town. Nestled deep within a National Forest at the base of the Rockies’ tallest mountains, yet close to the booming outdoor adventure towns of Buena Vista and Leadville, the town of Twin Lakes is an undiscovered gem. Our cabins offer the best views in the state of Colorado and immediate access to the wilderness just outside your door. You will gain an appreciation for the peaceful beauty of this untamed area like you have never known before. Getting around There is no public transportation that will take you up here. You will need your own vehicle. In the winter, I would highly recommend a vehicle with snow tires and/or 4-Wheel drive.
