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



The Space:

The Painted Lady is a two-story Victorian in the heart of downtown Leadville — vintage character, room for the whole group, and Harrison Avenue a block away.



➔ Downstairs Bedrooms — Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed.



➔ Upstairs Bedrooms — One with a queen + twin; one with a queen, a full, and a twin. Four bedrooms, seven beds, sleeps 10.



➔ 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.



➔ Living Spaces — A formal sitting room with a bay window plus a second living area with a TV.



➔ Outside — Pet-friendly fenced backyard and a charcoal grill. Crib, and gate on hand. Bike/ski storage in the garage.



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



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.
