3 PROS:
1. 3 lockable units — families get their own space within the group
2. Half a block from Main Street — walk to dinner
3. Pool table + sauna + 20 games — snow-day insurance
2 CONS:
1. An 1893 building that lives like one — period lighting runs warm, not bright
2. No A/C — Leadville rarely needs it at 10,152 ft
Guest Access:
The entire mansion is yours — all three units, the sauna, billiard room, kitchen, backyard, and laundry. Smart-lock self check-in, with free parking on the premises and on the street.
Before arrival you'll receive an email link to our digital guidebook — it's the only place check-in details live, and it's where pet registration is handled, so please open it before you travel.
The Neighborhood:
You're one block off Harrison Avenue in Leadville's National Historic Landmark District — restaurants, coffee, museums, and shops are a half-block stroll, so a group of 14 never has to carpool to dinner.
From this corner of town:
- Ski Cooper (15 min), Copper Mountain (25 min), and Vail (47 min) for lift days
- The Mineral Belt Trail for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and summer rides
- Turquoise Lake (12 min) for paddling, fishing, and shoreline sunsets
- Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive trailheads (about 26 min) — Colorado's two highest peaks
- Leadville's mining district, ghost towns, and Mosquito Pass for history and 4x4 days
Getting Around:
Most of town is walkable from the door — Main Street is half a block away. Free parking at the house and on the street fits a multi-car group, and in winter the free Lake County shuttle and Summit Stage connect Leadville to Copper Mountain and the Frisco Transit Center.
