Historic Loft w/ Sauna & Balcony; Steps to Main
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Old Saint Vincent Loft is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation rental occupying part of a converted 1880s hospital building in Leadville, Colorado, at an elevation of 10,152 feet. The historic character is on full display with 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and oversized windows that flood the loft with light and mountain views. It sits roughly a one-minute walk from Main Street, putting downtown Leadville's shops and restaurants at the doorstep.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The loft is configured with two queen beds across its two bedrooms, sleeping up to four guests comfortably. The master bedroom includes a private infrared sauna, a standout feature for a residential rental, while the overall layout retains the airy, high-ceilinged feel of the original hospital structure.
Amenities
Guests have access to a fully stocked kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, plus a washer for longer stays. A private balcony with mountain views and an outdoor patio with a grill provide outdoor space, and a dedicated workspace, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a fireplace round out the smoke-free interior. Free on-site parking and in-unit heating are also included.
Location & Surroundings
The loft is within easy walking distance of numerous Leadville restaurants and cafes, including Mineral 1886, Treeline Kitchen, The Famous, High Mountain Pies, Tennessee Pass Cafe, Rocky Mountain Thai kitchen, The Legendary Silver Dollar Saloon, Alta Vista Cocina, and Golden Burro Cafe & Lounge, most under a kilometer away. Two bus stations, HARRISON ST and 8TH ST and Safeway, are both under a kilometer from the property, and ski resorts are reachable within roughly 25 to 50 minutes by car. The nearest airports -- Aspen/Pitkin County, Eagle County Regional, and Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional -- are all 49 to 97 kilometers away.
Best for
This loft suits couples, small families, or groups of up to four seeking a walkable, historic downtown base in Leadville with distinctive amenities like a private infrared sauna and mountain-view balcony. It's also a strong fit for remote workers or ski-season travelers, thanks to the dedicated workspace, free Wi-Fi, full kitchen, and proximity to ski resorts within a 25-50 minute drive.
Travel tips
Since the loft is about a minute's walk from Main Street, most dining and shopping can be reached on foot without needing a car once you arrive. Two bus stations (HARRISON ST and 8TH ST, and Safeway) are within roughly 400-800 meters, useful for getting around without driving. Note that the nearest airports are all 50-97 kilometers away, so plan for at least an hour's drive from any of them, and pack for high elevation (10,152 feet) with layers for temperature swings.
