the Sunset House - modern comfort with spectacular views

Welcome to the Sunset House in Leadville, Colorado!

We call it the Sunset House because it faces directly west and has spectacular views of 14,000 ft peaks from upstairs and downstairs porches. These porches include comfortable chairs to relax and recount the day's adventures as the sun sets, or to sip some morning coffee and be beckoned to adventure.
