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 $250 refundable security deposit (a temporary card hold, released after checkout) or a small damage waiver ($10/night, max $80).



Guest Access:

Self check-in via keypad — code is sent the day before arrival along with our digital guidebook covering wood-stove operation, restaurants, trails, and altitude tips. Guests have access to the entire home including all three bedrooms, both bathrooms, the kitchen, the living room, and the fenced yard. Street parking out front (no garage). Walking distance to Harrison Avenue restaurants and the Mineral Belt Trail.



The Neighborhood:

The Forget-Me-Not sits in Leadville's downtown historic district — a National Historic Landmark District where silver-rush Victorians line every block.



✔ Walk to Harrison Avenue (downtown's restaurant/brewery row)

✔ Walk to Mineral Belt Trail (paved 11.6-mi loop)

✔ Walk to Tabor Opera House (1879), National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum

✔ ~25 min to Ski Cooper (locals' family-friendly mountain)

✔ ~25 min to Twin Lakes (boating, fishing) + Mt. Elbert / Mt. Massive trailheads

✔ ~35-40 min to Copper Mountain · ~45-50 min to Vail/Beaver Creek

✔ Sawatch Range views from the property



Getting Around:

The Forget-Me-Not is in walking distance to most of downtown Leadville — Harrison Avenue restaurants, breweries, coffee, outfitters, and the Mineral Belt Trail. A car is recommended for groups planning to ski Ski Cooper (~25 min) or visit Twin Lakes / Mt. Elbert (~25 min) — there is no public transit between Leadville and the resorts. Free street parking is available out front. Allow extra time for snow/ice conditions Nov–April; plowing is reliable but Leadville averages 100+ inches of annual snow.



Other Things to Note:

ALTITUDE — Leadville sits at 10,152 ft, the highest incorporated city in North America. Some guests experience altitude symptoms (headache, fatigue, mild nausea) the first 24 hours. Hydrate aggressively and take it easy on day one. We cannot offer refunds for altitude-related issues.



NO A/C — Leadville stays cool year-round at 10,152 ft; A/C is not standard in any home here and is rarely needed.



NO HOT TUB — The home has an indoor jetted tub for two (one of the two bathrooms), not an outdoor hot tub.



NO PETS — This is not a pet-friendly home for renting guests.



WOOD STOVE — Primary winter heat source. Our guidebook + a quick text check-in walkthrough covers operation. Wood is provided.



PARKING — Free street parking out front. No garage.



WILDLIFE — You may encounter local wildlife (foxes, deer) and small critters. Doors stay closed; we maintain ongoing pest control.



GUIDEBOOK — A digital guidebook with check-in info, wood-stove operation, restaurant recs, trail maps, and ski-day logistics is sent via email link the day before arrival.



Interaction with Guests:

We are local Leadville-based property managers. Self check-in via keypad means you can arrive late without coordinating; we send the code, the digital guidebook, and an introduction text the day before arrival. We're available by phone, text, or message 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. for anything during your stay — wood stove tips, restaurant recommendations, trail conditions, plumbing emergencies — and we run a 24/7 emergency line for urgent issues outside those hours. We don't drop in unannounced.
