Guest Access:
Guests have the full private home to themselves — both bedrooms, the bathroom, the kitchen, the living room, the zen area, and the back deck with the hot tub. No shared spaces. Self check-in via keypad. Your door code, WiFi password, hot tub instructions, and a Leadville guidebook arrive by email before your stay.
The Neighborhood:
The Little Lodge Leadville sits in downtown Leadville's Victorian historic grid, on East 4th Street — one and a half blocks north of Harrison Avenue (downtown's main commercial corridor). Leadville sits at 10,152 feet elevation and is the highest incorporated city in North America.
Walkable within 5 minutes: Harrison Avenue restaurants (Periodic Brewing, High Mountain Pies, Treeline Kitchen), the Silver Dollar Saloon (1883), Melanzana fleece, the Delaware Hotel, the Tabor Opera House, the Leadville Railroad depot, mining museums, galleries, and coffee shops.
Year-round outdoor access: Mineral Belt Trail (short walk), Mt. Elbert (14,440 ft) and Mt. Massive (14,428 ft) trailheads (25 min south), Twin Lakes (25 min south), Turquoise Lake (15 min north), Ski Cooper (25 min north), Copper Mountain (~35–40 min east), Vail / Beaver Creek (~45–55 min via I-70), and Independence Pass to Aspen (1.5–2 hr in summer only; pass closed November–May).
Getting Around:
The Little Lodge is walk-to-downtown — Harrison Avenue is a 5-minute walk south. Most guests walk to dinner and walk home.

Parking: street parking directly in front of the home. There are usually open spots out front; if not, adjacent blocks typically have space. No off-street spot.
Other Things to Note:
ALTITUDE: Downtown Leadville sits at 10,152 feet. Plan your first 24 hours easy: drink double your usual water, ease up on alcohol, and avoid heavy exertion the day you arrive. Symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, and shortness of breath. Hot tub + altitude combination hits harder — pace yourself. We cannot offer refunds for altitude sickness — if you're prone, consider travel insurance.
NO A/C: Nights in Leadville run 40s–50s even in July. Windows and cross-breezes handle daytime warmth. A/C is not installed and is not needed at this elevation.
PETS: The Little Lodge is pet-friendly. $60 + tax for one pet, $120 + tax for two pets (maximum two). Please do not leave pets unattended outside. There is no grass yard — bring poop bags for walks. Pet fees are collected via the guidebook portal, not the booking channel.
HOT TUB: Small 2-person hot tub on the back deck. Hot tub operating instructions arrive with your check-in email. Please shower before using, no glass near the tub, and close the cover when not in use.
PARKING: Street parking directly in front of the home. No driveway or garage.
NO YARD: The home has a deck, not a grass yard. Factor this in for dogs.
CHECKOUT TIME: Checkout is 10:00 AM. This is earlier than some rentals — please plan departure accordingly.

Annual MLK Day trip to Ski Cooper. Host offered us an extra night to start our weekend early and we took them up on it! Had a lovely wfh Friday in the cozy cabin. The hot tub was fantastic after a super cold day on the mountain while we watched the snow fall around us listening to the owls. Very quiet neighborhood. Will definitely book this location again!
Our family of four plus dogs had a great start while enjoying Ski Cooper and Leadville. The property was extremely clean, organized, and well maintained. We had everything we needed :)
Was a little hard to walk the dogs between the snow storm and lack of side walks in the neighbourhood but we managed just fine :)
We stayed here in Leadville for a few days to have access to all the nature in the area. This cottage was a perfect central location with easy walking access into the town that had a number of restaurants and shops to explore. The cottage had a back deck with a hot tub and a mountain view which was perfect for relaxing after a day of adventuring. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time in Leadville. Our son has recently moved there. His home is being renovated and is not ready for guests. My wife has high standards and she loved this place.
It is cozy and comfortable..

Excellently remodeled with a great floorplan! We enjoyed being able to walk almost everywhere. The basic cleaning was fine, but deep cleaning has been neglected. Some spice bottles were empty, hand soap too. Hot tub water was murky, crumbs in drawers, hair in sheets. It had snowed and we had to shovel the steps ourselves to get in. With a little more attention from the mgmt company, the property could be top notch.
Property and location perfect. House is great, nicely renovated, turnkey for the most part. This is part of many in area that use DACK with property management company and it is not overly user friendly, conflicting information between emails with them and app that you need on your phone. I tried multiple times to call them and never got through. Had to text them for them to call back. Tough to get call back if you are out and about and service can be spotty even with 5G. We would definitely come back but I know now that it will have pitfalls when dealing with property mgmt through DACK app. This is our second “rodeo” with DACK app and it just seems to be an issue for them and the platform they use. Property’s we have stayed in are great so we have been lucky to not need them much. If you want learly check in or late check out you must do it through the app and for this property you have 2 choices for both and one for each is incorrect. Checkout info on app not consistent with directions sent of which I could not locate in the multitude of emails I had on phone. (My bad) I used DACK app for property and noted some things not the same as prior list received. Tried to call an confirm but did not get a person, texted them for help but by the time they responded we had already left. Extended checkout was paid for and used but initial response was pending until morning of checkout which serves no purpose at that point. After my email questioning this, they confirmed late’s checkout late in the evening before our morning departure.
Again great property! Property management needs to work on the app and the information disseminated through it so that it is consistent and the platform needs to be reworked as it most likely does not fit everything. It f you rent directly through DACK you may get accommodations for late checkout and early arrival for free and avoid some fees that are charged on VRBO platform. As a owner on VRBO I would say DACK is the problem and not a platform I would ever consider.
This house was very comfortable, the king size bed especially! It was decorated nicely, very clean, and even had a hot tub in the back yard. I would definitely stay again!
This place was so nice! All of the decorative details and wood trim made the place super cozy. Very nice kitchen appliances and they had an amazing coffee setup (chemex). Probably one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in other than my own. Plus, it’s less than a 5 minute walk to downtown Leadville so it’s quiet but easy to get to the shops and restaurants.
