Self check-in via keypad (rated 5.0 across 45 reviews). Door code, WiFi password, and a Leadville guidebook arrive by email before your stay.



The Neighborhood:

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 (3 blocks), Mt. Elbert (14,440 ft) and Mt.

Location is rated 5.0 out of 5 in Airbnb reviews — the single top-scoring category across 45 stays.



Getting Around:

Alpine is one of the most walkable homes we manage — Harrison Avenue is one minute on foot, and most guests walk to dinner and walk home.



Getting to Leadville requires a vehicle — there is no regular public transit. Denver International Airport (DEN) is 2 hr 15 min via I-70 and US-24. Eagle County Airport (EGE) is 50 min via I-70. Colorado Springs is ~2 hr 45 min.



Parking: approximately 2 vehicles in front of the home, not guaranteed. Leadville's Victorian-era street grid is tight, especially in winter when snow narrows the lanes. Please park directly in front of the home and be courteous to neighbors who shovel their own spots. If your group has 3+ cars, plan to disperse two of them to nearby blocks.



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. 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.



NO PETS: Alpine House is a pet-free home.



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.



PARKING: Approximately 2 vehicle spaces in front of the home, not guaranteed. Leadville's Victorian streets were built before cars. If your group has 3+ vehicles, plan to disperse some to nearby blocks. Please park directly in front of the rental to be courteous to neighbors.



CHECKOUT TIME: Checkout is 10:00 AM. This is earlier than some rentals — please plan departure accordingly. Pre-booked late checkouts may be available through the guidebook portal (fee).



QUIET HOURS: Leadville's Quiet Hours run 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Turning off exterior lights during those hours helps the neighborhood enjoy dark skies.



WILDLIFE: You're at elevation in the Rockies. Expect the occasional insect or small critter. We pest-treat regularly and ask that you keep doors closed.



LICENSE: City of Leadville License #001222.
