History and Charm
Originally known as Strawberry Flats, Twin Peaks has a storied past that dates back to the early days of mountain development. This enchanting community was a hub for inns, cabins, and dance clubs, making it a popular destination for those seeking both relaxation and entertainment. Among the historic establishments were The Squirrel Inn, The Antlers Inn, and Thousand Pines Camp. Today, The Antlers Inn remains a beloved rustic mountain restaurant, where residents and visitors alike can enjoy a taste of the past.

Community and Convenience
​One of the defining features of Twin Peaks is its combination of residential charm and essential amenities. The community is home to local county offices, including the Sheriff's Department and County Land Use offices, providing convenient access to important services.

A Hub for Recreation and Hospitality

Today you can still find some of the more original homes and buildings, mixed in with newer construction. The small-town feel is still fresh, though! In the warmer months there is a farmer's market on Thursdays next to the Sheriff's Department, and the Annual Strawberry Festival draws a crowd. This event brings the community together through family friendly games, food, and activities. The festival always takes place the first Sunday of June.

"I'm really partial to Arrowhead Villas, because when my husband and I married and moved up to the mountain, our first house was in the Villas on Virginia Ct. The memories we made there are priceless, as we began our journey together. One child, four cats, 14 Christmases, and a whole lot of laughter mark our time there."
