About this property
Buckeye's authentic, comfy, cozy, romantic cabin in Leadville, Colorado
If you dreamed of a cozy, romantic log cabin to enjoy for a few days, this is what you have been looking for. You will never forget the bright blue sky against Mount Elbert, Colorado's highest peak, the view of beaver ponds, all sitting by the wood stove, staring at the fire through it's glass door, in a nice leather chair.
Choose from our 3 authentic, yet very comfortable cabin rentals. Buckeye's, Tashi's, & Luna's rental properties are located at 10,300 feet at the headwaters of the Arkansas River in the midst of Colorado's Fourteen-thousand-foot peak region. The cabins are conveniently situated 5 minutes outside of Leadville, Colorado an old historical mining town, 20 minutes from Copper Mountain or Ski Cooper, and 40 minutes from Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin and other world class ski resorts.
World class fishing aright across the road on the headwaters of the infamous Arkansas River.
Close to hiking, skiing, HOV, biking, ice climbing, snowmobile tours, lakes, rivers, fishing, rafting, golfing.
Leadville has it all !!!
Things To Do :
1. Go rafting on the famous Arkansas River
2. There are two very interesting mining museums in town.
3. There is a wonderful new bike path that winds its way through the old mining district
and old abandoned mines on The Mineral Belt Trail. In the winter this trail is groomed for cross country and skate skiing.
4. Visit the Tabor Opera House where Broadway shows with the likes of Houdini used to perform in Leadville’s heyday.
5. Visit Baby Doe’s mine, a story in itself for you to discover.
6. Visit the beautiful Turquoise Lake, where you can hike, fish, camp, ski, swim if you dare, or simply drive around.
7. Take a drive over the spectacular Independence Pass which is only open in the summer and will bring you to the Town of Aspen.
8. Play in the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs just outside of the town of Buena Vista.
9. Go for a 4-wheel drive tour along the Continental Divide.
10. Explore or fish the Beaver Ponds and Huts across the street from the Buckeye’s Cabin on the east fork of the Arkansas headwaters.
11. Take a drive to Vail and ride the Gondola to the top of the mountain where Adventure Ridge awaits.
12. Read a good book while relaxing in the cabin.
13. Play at Twin Lakes, the largest glacial lakes in Colorado - Great fishing.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Paul Breitenwischer
We purchased this cozy, romantic cabin as our first home and could not stand to part with it when we moved after we had meticulously restored it. So we decided to go out on a limb and try to rent it short term, so that we could still come back to enjoy it. Luckily for us, everyone else seems to enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Leadville is still an example of the old west. Open space, surrounded by 14 thousand foot peaks, an old western town, hundreds of miles of hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, biking trails, lakes, and streams. It doesn't get any better than this.
What makes this property unique
Close to world class skiing of Copper Mountain, Keystone, Vail, and Breckenridge, as well as a great smaller family area, among others, there are hiking trails, biking, back country skiing, snowmobile trips, train rides, museums and so much more... you have views of Mt. Elbert, Colorado's highest peak, as well as other 14 thousand foot peaks from the huge picture windows in the cabin. Live the old west...
