Room 13 is our hiker fave with its pair of twin beds. Cora, a 'soiled dove', is said to have worked this room. Cora had wooden false teeth. Male callers were known to hide her teeth as a prank (among their reasons). This @SusieMAllen painting still adorns the original entry to Cora's 'office' (note the hand masking her mouth and her false teeth on the nightstand). #TwinLakesColorado

As of about 2:15 this afternoon the hard-working #CDOT crew opened #IndyPass! The village people of historic Twin Lakes Colorado are ready to welcome you. At the Inn we're serving lunch all weekend from 12-3 and dinner every night from 4:30-8. Hope to see ya'! Note: some highway signs may say "closed" for a few more hours 'til CDOT staff can change 'em.

After taking his usual winter hiatus, Deputy Manfred ("Manny") Quinn is back on patrol, keeping the mean streets of Twin Lakes Colorado safer for all. With Independence Pass opening today Manny reminds drivers to heed the 30 MPH limit in his stop-light free village, where all businesses are open along with the Red Rooster Visitor Center in the background.

On this #InternationalWomensDay we salute our founder, Maggie Webber, shown in this archive photo on the original front porch. Legend has it that Maggie smoked a pipe and would brandish her '12-gauge' anytime a male caller showed interest in her daughter. Your 'Twin Peaks Hotel' is 140 years old this year, Margaret... imagine that!
