The chef’s kitchen is designed for cooking and entertaining, with granite countertops and new appliances including a gas range, plus an oven/stove and microwave. Practical in-home conveniences include a washer, heating, ironing board, free Wi-Fi, and cable TV. The setup suits longer stays where guests want to cook and do laundry on-site.

Best for
This property is best for travelers who want a downtown Leadville base with a full kitchen—especially cyclists and spectators looking to stay near the Leadville 100 start/finish. It also suits groups or longer stays that benefit from in-home laundry, free Wi-Fi, and a dedicated cooking setup with a gas range, oven/stove, and microwave.
Travel tips
Plan for street parking only; weekend demand can make spots limited, and parking may require walking your luggage uphill. For simple car-free outings, multiple restaurants and cafes are within a few hundred meters, and the HARRISON ST and 8TH ST bus stop is about 142 m away. If you’re visiting during major event weekends (including Leadville 100), expect more congestion downtown and allow extra time for arrival and unloading.
What guests say
Reviews emphasize that the home is very clean, comfortable, and matches the listing description. Guests frequently value the central Leadville location for walking to Main Street shops and nearby dining, and the kitchen stands out as well-equipped for preparing full meals. Comfort and quality of the renovation are recurring positives. A noted downside is logistics around parking, as it is street parking only and can be difficult during busy weekends, sometimes requiring a longer, uphill walk with luggage.
