The Space:
Old St. Vincent's 303 sits on the third floor of a 19th-century historic building three blocks off Harrison Street, Leadville's main drag. The unit was built into the original brickwork — 14ft cathedral ceilings, exposed brick walls, oversized windows pulling in light from every side, and the kind of architectural character you can't fake in new construction.

➔ 3 Pros / 2 Cons (so you know what you're booking)

Pros:
- A truly distinctive space — most Leadville rentals are condos or cabins; this is a cathedral-ceiling loft inside a historic landmark
- The sauna and workspace combo make this work for restorative trips, remote-work weeks, and ski recovery — not just sightseeing
- Walking distance to every restaurant, bar, and shop on Harrison Street

Cons:
- Historic building, original windows — the unit gets cold on the coldest winter nights. Space heaters, skirting board, gas fireplace (with timer), and extra blankets are all here, but plan to dress warm and don't expect modern insulation.
- 3rd floor, no lift — all access is via stairs. Plan accordingly if you have heavy gear, mobility limits, or small kids.

We do utilise 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 $150 refundable security deposit (a temporary card hold, released after checkout) or a small damage waiver ($7/night, max $40).

Guest Access:
Entire unit is yours — full private access to the space, the sauna, and the workspace. Self-check-in via lockbox; you'll receive a link to our digital guidebook with the code, parking instructions, and stair access details before arrival.

Two parking spots available per unit. No RVs, boats, or caravan campers in the lot.

Our local team is available throughout your stay if you need anything.

The Area:
Old St. Vincent's 303 is three blocks from Harrison Street — Leadville's historic Main Street and the heart of city centre. From the front door you can walk to every restaurant, brewery, coffee shop, and gallery in town. No driving needed for food, drinks, or basic supplies.

Leadville sits at 10,152 ft — the highest incorporated city in North America. The area is quiet, residential, and surrounded by 14,000 ft peaks on every horizon. From the 3rd floor windows of OSV 303 you get mountain views — Mt. Massive, Mt. Elbert, and the Mosquito Range are all visible without leaving the unit.

Within walking distance: Periodic Brewing, City on a Hill Coffee, Treeline Kitchen, Cookies with Altitude, the Tabor Opera House, the National Mining Museum, and the historic district. The Mineral Belt Trail (paved, 11.6-mile loop, hike/bike/ski) is a 5-minute walk.

A short drive opens up Ski Cooper (35 min), Copper Mountain (40 min), Twin Lakes (25 min), Independence Pass (closed in winter), Turquoise Lake (15 min), and the Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive trailheads.

Getting Around:
You'll need a car to reach Leadville — there's no reliable rideshare here, and public transit doesn't run from any major airport. Once you're in town, you can walk to everything city centre from OSV 303.
