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)
- 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

Entry is up the front porch steps; there is no step-free entrance.
The Neighborhood:

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 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.
