My full-time gig is being the mother of a beautiful 5 year old who was born a month before my husband and I opened our first business: The Barrel here in Estes Park.  My roller coaster career path and moving eight times before settling down in Colorado helped shape my work method and approach as very analytical and quantifiable, but also very open to exploring new possibilities.  People ask me all the time how Lou and I got into the bar business; short story, we have been avid supporters, fans, aficionados of the craft beer industry for years, both of us grew up with bars in our childhood homes and we even had a 14’ bar built in the basement of our home.  When the opportunity of us opening a bar presented itself, we took it, jumped right in and despite all the hurdles we have had to overcome, there is no other job I would rather be doing. 

Ever since its doors first opened in 1999, the Twin Owls Steakhouse has been one of Estes Park’s finest dining and special event destinations and owned and operated by Sandra Huerta and Thad Eggen for the past eight years. For the past two decades, the Steakhouse has provided the perfect combination of Rocky Mountain splendor and the finest food and service, creating a truly memorable experience for each and every guest.

With nearly forty years between them spent amidst the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, owners Sandra Huerta and Thad Eggen have made a lifelong home for themselves in the Estes Valley. Together with their son Mateo, they take every opportunity to enjoy all the adventures that this spectacular corner of the world has to offer.

We specialize in gourmet chocolate, unique gifts, accommodation chocolate, wedding and event specialties, beautiful gift baskets and hand made creations.
