The Space:

602 West 8th is a single-family Leadville home over a main floor and a finished basement — room to spread out, a hot tub after a ski day, and a fenced yard for the dog.



➔ Main Floor — Open living room with a brick accent wall and sectional, full kitchen, dining area opening to the deck.



➔ Bedrooms — Three queen bedrooms plus a bunk room (queen + twin), sleeping up to 10. One bedroom has a desk.



➔ Bathrooms — Two full baths.



➔ Finished Basement — Second living room with sectionals and a TV.



➔ Outside — Hot tub on a large deck, fenced backyard with a fire pit.



3 PROS:

1. Backs onto the Mineral Belt Trail — bike, run, or Nordic ski from the back door

2. Hot tub + deck + fire pit, with a fenced off-leash yard

3. Two living rooms so 10 people aren't in one space



2 CONS:

1. An older Leadville home — solid and updated, with some character

2. No A/C — Leadville rarely needs it at 10,152 ft



We do utilize a weblink outside the platform that directs guests to our guidebook. You will receive an email with this link. This is the ONLY way guests can access check-in information, and facilitates the collection of fees and other special requests/upgraded services we offer.

To protect your stay, you'll choose one of two options during online check-in: a $250 refundable security deposit (a temporary card hold, released after checkout) or a small damage waiver ($10/night, max $80).



Guest Access:

You have the entire house — both floors, the deck, hot tub, and fenced backyard — plus free on-site parking.



Before arrival you'll receive an email link to our digital guidebook — it's the only place check-in details live, and it's where pet registration is handled, so please open it before you travel.



The Neighborhood:

602 West 8th sits in a quiet Leadville neighborhood that backs onto the Mineral Belt Trail — a 11.6-mile paved loop for biking, running, and Nordic skiing straight from the backyard. Main Street is a 10-minute walk.



From the door:

- Ski Cooper (15 min) and Copper Mountain (25 min) for lift days; Vail about 47 min

- Turquoise Lake (12 min) for paddling, fishing, and shoreline sunsets

- Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive trailheads (about 26 min) — Colorado's two highest peaks

- Downtown restaurants, coffee, museums, and shops a 10-minute stroll up the hill



Getting Around:

Bring a car — it's the easiest way to reach the resorts and trailheads, and you have free on-site parking. The Mineral Belt Trail is at your back door for car-free days, and Main Street is a 10-minute walk. In winter the free Lake County shuttle connects to Copper Mountain.



Other Things to Note:

License #004656



Pets: welcome — $85 + tax for one dog, $170 + tax for two. Let us know in advance and register through the guidebook link. Please clean up after your dog in the backyard.



Stays over 15 days include a required mid-stay cleaning (fee applies).



No A/C. Elevation is 10,152 ft — hydrate on day one; altitude sickness is real and not refundable.



This is an older Leadville home in the mountains — the occasional critter is part of the deal, so keep doors closed. After heavy snow, watch for snow-removal signs on parking.



Interaction with Guests:

We're locals and a text away — typical response under an hour. Check-in is self-service by keypad; we'll confirm you're settled, then leave you to your trip. Trail conditions, a dinner rec, or hot-tub questions — just ask.
