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:

The entire cabin and the covered deck are yours for your stay.



Self check-in — your access details arrive before arrival, so you can head straight in after the drive up. Free parking on site.



After booking you'll receive an email with a link to our digital guidebook, where you'll find check-in instructions, the WiFi, and local tips.



The Neighborhood:

The cabin sits in a quiet subdivision among the lodgepole pines four miles north of Leadville, Colorado, overlooking the Arkansas River. Leadville — North America's highest incorporated city at 10,152 feet — is a seven-minute drive, with restaurants, shops, and a historic downtown. Ski Cooper, a family-friendly resort known for natural snow, is eleven minutes away; Turquoise Lake is thirteen. Copper Mountain is about 25 minutes, the Mt. Elbert trailhead (Colorado's highest fourteener) about 30, and Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Beaver Creek are all within 30–50 minutes. In town, the Mineral Belt Trail offers snowshoeing and Nordic skiing in winter and hiking and biking in summer, and there's an ice rink and a sledding hill at Dutch Henry nearby.



Getting Around:

You'll want a car — there's no public transit or reliable rideshare in Leadville.



From Denver (DEN): ~2 hrs via I-70 W to Copper, then Hwy 91 S over Fremont Pass (11,318 ft), or US-24 S. Check cotrip.org in winter; AWD or chains recommended Nov–Apr.

From Eagle/Vail (EGE): ~1 hr with less mountain-pass driving.



Once here, downtown Leadville is a 7-minute drive and Ski Cooper is 11. Free parking on site.



Other Things to Note:

The third sleeping area is an open loft, not an enclosed bedroom — great for kids, worth knowing if you need a private third room.



Not pet friendly.



No A/C — at this elevation Leadville rarely needs it; summer nights are cool and the windows open to mountain air.



Altitude is real here (up to ~10,000 ft). Drink extra water, take your first day easy, and consider travel insurance — we can't refund for altitude sickness. Symptoms can include headaches and nausea.



You're in the mountains, so the occasional insect or critter is part of the setting; keep doors closed and you'll be fine.



Check-in after 4:00 PM, checkout by 10:00 AM. 6 guests maximum.



Interaction with Guests:

We're a local Leadville team, reachable by message anytime through the Traverse digital guidebook — quick answers on check-in, the fireplace, trail and pass conditions, or where to eat in town. Otherwise the cabin is entirely yours.
