Bedroom: King bed. Stacked washer and dryer in the closet. A door opens straight to the backyard and hot tub.
Kitchen: Compact - electric range and oven, microwave, apartment-size refrigerator with a small freezer, coffee bar (drip, pour-over, grinder, kettle), cookware and dishes. Dining table seats 4.
Bathroom: One full bath with a shower/tub combination.
Backyard: Fenced yard with a year-round hot tub, outdoor sectional and dining table under string lights, and the dog door from the bedroom.
3 Pros:
- Park once - Main Street restaurants, bars and coffee are a 1-block walk
- Dog door to a fenced yard (2 pets max, $50 per stay)
- The hot tub runs year-round - guests soak while it snows
2 Cons:
- The yard backs onto the alley and one fence section is chain-link, so the hot tub is not fully screened from passers-by
- Compact kitchen with an apartment-size fridge - right for breakfasts and simple dinners, not a week of big cooking
We do utilize a weblink outside the platform that directs guests to our guidebook. You will receive an email with this link. This is the ONLY way guests can access check-in information, and facilitates the collection of fees and other special requests/upgraded services we offer.
To protect your stay, you'll choose one of two options during online check-in: a $150 refundable security deposit (a temporary card hold, released after checkout) or a small damage waiver ($7/night, max $40).
Guest Access:
The entire home, the fenced backyard and the hot tub are yours alone for the stay.
Self check-in with a smart lock. Your door code arrives before you do; no key exchange.
Parking: free street parking directly in front of the house.
Entry is up the front porch steps; there is no step-free entrance.
The Neighborhood:
You are one block off Harrison Avenue (Main Street) in historic Leadville, North America's highest incorporated city at 10,152 ft. A former silver-mining town with a Main Street of restaurants, breweries, coffee shops and local stores, all on foot.
Walkable from the front porch:
- 1 min to Harrison Avenue / Main Street
- 2 min to Tennessee Pass Cafe and Wild Oscar's
- 3 min to Two Mile Brewing Company
- 5 min to City on a Hill (coffee and food) and the Tabor Opera House
A short drive:
- 12 min to Turquoise Lake (swim, kayak, fish)
- 12 min to Ski Cooper (uncrowded, 400+ acres)
- 25 min to Copper Mountain
- 26 min to the Mt. Elbert trailhead (Colorado's highest 14er)
- 30 to 50 min to Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone and Beaver Creek
The Mineral Belt Trail, a 12-mile paved loop around town, is reachable on foot for running, biking or a morning walk.
Getting Around:
You will want a car; there is no public transit or reliable rideshare in Leadville.
From Denver (DEN): about 2 hours via I-70 West to Highway 91 South over Fremont Pass (11,318 ft). Check cotrip.org in winter; AWD or chains recommended November to April.
From Eagle/Vail (EGE): about 1 hour with less mountain-pass driving.
Once here, downtown is a 1-block walk, with dining and shops on foot. Ski resorts and trailheads are a 12 to 45 minute drive. Free street parking in front of the home.
Other Things to Note:
License #002764
No A/C. At 10,152 ft, Leadville rarely needs it. Summer highs run 65 to 75 F; portable fans are provided and the windows open for a mountain breeze.
Pets welcome (2 max); a $50 per-stay pet fee applies and is collected at online check-in. The fenced backyard has a dog door off the bedroom, so your dog can come and go.
The yard is fenced; one section on the alley side is chain-link, so the hot tub is not fully screened from the alley.
Altitude is real at 10,152 ft. Drink extra water, take your first day easy, and consider travel insurance. Symptoms can include headaches and nausea; we cannot refund for altitude sickness.
Mountain living: you may encounter local wildlife or insects, part of the experience at altitude. We keep the home well sealed but recommend keeping doors closed when possible.
Stairs to enter the home. 2 guests maximum. Check-in after 4:00 PM, checkout by 10:00 AM.
Interaction with Guests:
We're a local Leadville team, reachable by message anytime through the Traverse digital guidebook — quick answers on the hot tub, the dog door, trail conditions, or a dinner pick a block away. Otherwise the place is entirely yours.
