» 1min ➔ Main St » 25min ➔ Ski Cooper » 12min ➔ Turquoise Lake

➔ Bathrooms — Two full baths, one with a jacuzzi tub.

➔ Kitchen — Well-equipped with a gas range and dishwasher, opening to a formal dining room that seats the whole crew.

3 PROS:
1. One block to Main Street — restaurants, shops, and trailheads on foot
2. Sleeps 10 with a real dining room — built for group meals
3. Jacuzzi tub + fenced yard for the dogs + kid gear ready

2 CONS:
1. A historic Victorian that creaks and squeaks — character over brand-new
2. No A/C — Leadville rarely needs it at 10,152 ft

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:
You have the entire private home — both floors, the dining and living rooms, the fenced backyard, and bike/ski storage in the garage (the garage is for gear, not vehicles). Free on-street parking out front fits about two cars.

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:
The Painted Lady sits a block off Harrison Avenue in Leadville's National Historic Landmark District — restaurants, coffee, museums, galleries, and shops are a short walk, and so are the Mineral Belt Trail access points.

From the door:
- Ski Cooper (15 min) and Copper Mountain (25 min) for lift days; Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Beaver Creek are 30–50 min
- Turquoise Lake (12 min) for paddling, fishing, and shoreline sunsets
- Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive trailheads (about 26 min) — Colorado's two highest peaks
- Fall-color bike rides, fly fishing, snowshoeing — there's something every season

Getting Around:
Leadville is walkable and this home is in the heart of downtown — Main Street is a block away, so park the car and walk to dinner. Free on-street parking out front, and in winter the free Lake County shuttle connects to Copper Mountain.

Other Things to Note:
License #001964

Pets: welcome (up to 2 dogs - $85+tax for one pet and $170+tax for two) — registered through the guidebook link. Please clean up after your dog in the backyard.

For stays longer than 15 days, a mid-stay cleaning is required and an additional fee of $150 will apply. This helps us maintain a high standard of cleanliness and ensures the home stays comfortable for the duration of your stay.

No A/C. Elevation is 10,152 ft — hydrate on day one; altitude sickness is real and not refundable.

This is a historic Victorian — it creaks, the floors aren't level, and that's part of staying in a 19th-century home. Kid gear (crib, gate) is provided. The garage is for bike/ski storage, not vehicles.

After heavy snow, watch for snow-removal signs on street parking.

Interaction with Guests:
We're locals and a text away — typical response under an hour, and guests regularly note how available and responsive we are. Check-in is self-service; we'll confirm you're settled, then leave you to your trip.
