The Governor's Mansion was once the home of former Governor Jesse McDonald and is centrally located in Leadville's National Historic Landmark District. Part of this house was built in 1881, with the mansion portion completed in 1893. Former Governor, Jesse McDonald, who sought and found his fortune in Leadville, built this big house to entertain guests as they travelled through town.



Staying in the mountains offers a unique and nature-immersed experience, characterized by a rustic charm. You might occasionally encounter some of the local wildlife, insects, and small critters that are part of the natural surroundings. We recommend keeping doors securely closed whenever possible. Rest assured, we've implemented thorough measures to ensure your stay remains undisturbed by these natural inhabitants.



Altitude sickness is real. In Leadville/ Twin Lakes, the elevation can be up to 10,000 feet. Symptoms can include dizziness and nausea, so please be mindful of this. We cannot offer refunds for guests experiencing altitude sickness. If you anticipate being affected, we recommend obtaining insurance at the time of booking.

    We had a nice peaceful stay in this clean and convenient loft while we were skiing. Instructions for checkin/out were simple.

    A lot of stairs to get to the unit. But once there is is quiet and has some good views of the surrounding mountains. Easy walk to the main street of town.

    Really great location in a modest residential area. I had a lot of difficulty finding it in the dark, no signage or building numbers visible. It's a cute little loft, comfortable, but lacking in maintenance. Some of the windows appear to date from the original 19-th century construction, the newest are mid-20th century and falling apart, which would make for a drafty, cold place in a winter storm. The shower dribbles feebly. Communication from host was excellent.

    Loved the old, historic aspect of the Loft. Beautiful views from the windows. Walk to the main street shopping/coffee/restaurants was 1/2 block. Would definitely stay there again.

    The Loft on top of The Governor's Mansion was a perfect meeting place for two old friends who first knew each other when we worked at the Climax Mine. We both love Leadville so there was no doubt about the location. After taking some time to review options for lodging I decided on the Loft. It was perfect. Two bedrooms - one with a king-size bed if we wanted to sleep together and the other with twin beds if not. A living room and kitchen which was perfect for bringing back take-out and enjoying cold beverages. Since downtown is less than a block away, it is easy to walk to any of the restaurants and shops. The trek up to the third floor is breathtaking due to the spectacular view of Mounts Elbert and Massive as well as the altitude. Go slow and savor the experience! The treads on the stairs and efficient snow removal provide a safe ascent even during the winter months. (We used to say Leadville has three seasons: July, August and winter.) The days were the favorite ones I remember about Leadville - sunshine, bright blue sky, white snow, and bitter cold! It doesn't get any better than that...except maybe the picturesque summer days.

    Checking in to get door code was ruff. Hard to do when they want lots of stuff sent while driving in mountains. And don't think it works great.

    This place was perfect for a long weekend exploring Leadville with my husband and cat. The loft had everything we needed. The only thing I could ask for is some lighting to help with going up and downstairs at night.

    We stayed in this loft apartment for 2 nights. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We chose this place based on its location to town and it worked out beautifully for us! We could walk easily to downtown Leadville's main businesses very easily. Plus - the views from the apartment were fabulous. From the top of the mansion, we marveled at the top of the Rockies!

    The location was good. The roof place was so, so. They have a heating system very poor. The shower is really small. I can't handle all my days there and ended stay in the regular hotel.

    The property was nice. It was heated quite warm when we arrived and we had to turn down the heat and open it up to cool it down enough to be comfortable. We didn't get to stay the second night due to altitude sickness and had to head to lower elevation. But very much liked the accommodations.
