This is a rustic, restful cabin nestled deeply in Colorado's Roosevelt National Forest. Built in 2009, this three-bedroom cabin will sleep 8 easily, and can handle up to 14. The cabin includes an upstairs loft, a "bunk room," woodstove, firepit, large deck, a fully-furnished kitchen, and breathtaking views of the surrounding forest. Quiet and private, it's a great place to sit back, relax, and forget your troubles for a while. Or you can put a movie in the DVD player and watch on the flat screen TV. If you must stay in contact with civilization, the area has cellular access, and the cabin has high-speed wireless Internet.

The cabin includes a full kitchen with microwave, cooking and eating utensils, a disposal, and a dishwasher. The main level includes two bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed. Upstairs is a bunk room with four twin beds--two solos and a bunk bed--along with two twin mattresses on the floor in the eaves (a favorite with kids!). The loft is large enough to accommodate a full-sized inflatable mattress (located in the downstairs closet).

The great room has a flat-screen TV and DVD player, and the bunk room includes a smaller TV with DVD. Below the TV in the main room is a container with several popular movies. Family games are available in the hall closet.

Twin Eagles Retreat is a cozy cabin tucked into a private wooded setting within easy walking distance to scenic Crystal Lake .  Whether you like to fish, canoe, rowboat, or just relax on the shore, Crystal Lake is a delightful place to spend your day.  Returning to the retreat, you might cook your catch of the day on the outdoor gas grill and enjoy picnicking on the table nestled into the aspens and pines.  Or, if you prefer, you can prepare your meal in the fully equipped kitchen and dine in the adjoining dining area.

  Once inside Twin Eagles, you can snuggle up in front of the wood-burning fireplace to appreciate a peaceful mountain evening or enjoy the cool night air as you stargaze from the deck. The howling coyotes or hooting owls may keep you company as you attempt to identify your favorite constellation.

  When it comes time to say goodnight, two warm, comfortable bedrooms await your slumber.  If you rise early, you may have the privilege of sharing your first cup of coffee with a local moose, deer or elk.  Keep an eye toward the sky to see if you can catch a glimpse of a hawk or eagle soaring overhead on its way to the lake.  And don’t miss the deer as they come down the hill and cross the road to go to the lake for a drink in the early morning light.

  Twin Eagles is a summer favorite.  Within a short distance of hiking trails, abundant wildlife, a quaint village with unique shops,  clean mountain air and streams, and superior fishing, it’s a perfect vacation destination for everyone.

NOTE: Daily fishing passes (required) can be purchased at the Crystal Lakes ’ office.
