Massive, the two highest peaks in Colorado.

The loft is on the third floor and there is no elevator. Please note: this is a historic building with original windows and limited insulation, so the loft runs cold on winter nights. A gas fireplace, wall and baseboard heaters, space heaters in the closets, and extra blankets are provided. 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). The entire third-floor loft is yours — all three bedrooms, both bathrooms, the kitchen, and the living and dining room. Nothing is shared and no host is on site. Let yourself in with a keypad code through the building's original stained-glass entry. Free garage parking on site for up to two vehicles; any additional cars park free on the street. A free washer and dryer are available in the building. There is no elevator — the loft is on the third floor, reached by stairs. The loft is entirely yours — private entrance, keypad code, no host on site. We're reachable by message throughout your stay and we answer fast. If anything isn't right — cleanliness, heat, WiFi, anything — tell us while you're still here and we'll fix it rather than have you discover it in a review. Climbing something? Ask us. We regularly point guests toward an acclimatization hike before they head up Elbert, Massive, or Huron, and we're happy to do it for you. The loft is in downtown Leadville, Colorado, three blocks from Harrison Avenue — the main street, lined with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, breweries, and outdoor outfitters. At 10,152 feet, Leadville is the highest incorporated city in North America, and the town's Victorian-era mining district is a National Historic Landmark. Within walking distance: Healy House Museum and Dexter Cabin, Ice Palace Park, the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum area, and FREIGHT — the converted train depot event and wedding venue directly next door. The Mineral Belt Trail, an 11.6-mile paved loop that circles the town past 1880s silver-mine ruins, has numerous trailheads in town; it is used for biking, running and walking in summer and is groomed for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking in winter. Nearby by car: Ski Cooper at Tennessee Pass is 15 minutes north on US-24. Copper Mountain is 23 miles over Fremont Pass. Vail is 44 miles. Turquoise Lake, the Twin Lakes, and the trailheads for Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive — the two highest peaks in Colorado — are all short drives from town. Leadville is 100 miles from Denver. Leadville also hosts the Leadville Race Series events in summer, and the historic Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad depot sits next to the building. STR License Number 003076 HEAT AND THE BUILDING This is a historic building with original windows and limited insulation, so the loft gets cold on winter days. We provide a gas fireplace, electric baseboard and wall-mounted heaters throughout, space heaters in the closets, and extra blankets. Guests who stayed in January reported staying warm using them — but come prepared for a cold building, not a new one. There is no air conditioning. At 10,152 ft, Leadville nights cool off on their own. The baseboard heaters get hot to the touch. If you're traveling with small children, please make sure they don't touch them. BUILDING AND HOA RULES (Old Saint Vincent) - This property is NOT pet friendly. - Old St. Vincent's is a smoke-free building — including all unit balconies and all stairways and entryways. - Parking is limited to two vehicles per unit. Additional vehicles must park on the street. - No RVs, boats, or trailer campers may be parked in the parking lot. ACCESS There is no elevator in this building — the loft is on the third floor and you will be walking up and down stairs. Worth planning for if you're arriving with an infant, small children, or a lot of luggage. LONGER STAYS For stays longer than 15 days, a mid-stay cleaning is required and an additional cleaning charge applies; the amount is shown in your booking terms. It keeps the home comfortable and clean for the length of your stay. ALTITUDE Altitude sickness is real. Leadville and Twin Lakes sit above 10,000 feet, and symptoms can include dizziness and nausea. Please plan for it. We can't offer refunds for guests affected by altitude, so if you think you may be, we recommend buying travel insurance when you book. MOUNTAIN LIVING Staying in the mountains means being closer to nature, and you may occasionally encounter local wildlife, insects, or small critters. Please keep doors closed when you can. We've taken thorough measures to keep your stay undisturbed. CHECK-IN INFORMATION You'll receive an email with a link to our digital guidebook. That link is the only place check-in information lives, and it's also where you can request extras and upgraded services.
