About this house rental

Walk to Leadville's Main Street from "The Zinnia," a beautifully restored Victorian cottage set just 1.5 blocks from downtown shops, restaurants, and galleries.

Perfect for your Colorado mountain adventure, whether you're here to hike, ski, or explore this iconic high-altitude town.



The Space:

ABOUT THE HOME

Guests consistently praise the comfortable furnishings, well-equipped kitchen, and inviting decor that honors the home's authentic historic character while delivering the conveniences you need.



BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS



Two cozy bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen bed. Quality bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets are provided for a restful night's sleep. The home comfortably accommodates 2 adults per bedroom.



BATHROOM



One full bathroom with hot water, bathtub, and essential amenities. Note: The bathroom door between the bedrooms does not fully close—a quirk of this historic home that couples and families typically navigate without concern. It's part of the authentic character.



KITCHEN & DINING



The sunny kitchen is well-equipped with a full-size refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and quality cookware and utensils for preparing meals. A breakfast bar overlooks the dining space. Many guests love cooking here—everything you need is on hand. A generous coffee maker and quality coffee await your arrival, a thoughtful welcome touch from your host.

LAUNDRY & WORKSPACE



Washer and dryer are available for longer stays. Dedicated workspace with wireless internet keeps you connected if you're working remotely or planning your adventures.



LOCATION & WALKABILITY



Located just 1.5 blocks from Leadville's Main Street—easily walkable to downtown shops, restaurants, breweries, galleries, and the local museum. A park and playground sit less than a block away, perfect for families with children. The Mineral Belt Trail for cross-country skiing and hiking is minutes away. Ski Cooper is approximately 15 minutes away; Vail and Beaver Creek are within 1.5–2 hours for day trips.



PARKING & ACCESS



Free parking on premises and free street parking available. Private entrance for your convenience. Early check-in is often available when the home is ready—ask your host about flexibility for your specific dates.



HOST HOSPITALITY & COMMUNICATION



Your host is known for responsive communication, thoughtful local guides with dining and activity recommendations, and genuine care about your experience. Quick resolution is a priority if any maintenance needs arise during your stay.



WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK



This is an authentic historic home from Leadville's mining era, so original features are part of its charm: floors are uneven and sloped—something guests often mention as adding character and authenticity to the experience (though those with significant mobility concerns should be aware). The home may show minor signs of age; we recommend embracing the historic character rather than expecting modern uniformity.



Check-in instructions are provided via an email link to an external guidebook—this is the only way to access your entry code, so watch for that email after booking.



Pets are not permitted. Heating keeps the home comfortable year-round, supplemented with plush blankets and cozy comfort amenities.



WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT



Guests consistently return to "The Zinnia" for its perfect balance: walkable downtown convenience without downtown bustle, authentic historic charm with modern essentials, and a host who genuinely cares about making your stay memorable. Whether you're a skier catching fresh powder, a hiker tackling the Mineral Belt, or a family exploring Leadville's rich mining heritage, this is your basecamp.

Parking: Although not guaranteed, this home has room for approximately two cars to be parked in front of it. Leadville’s Victorian homes were historically built quite close together in the days before the “horseless carriage.” As such, parking can sometimes be a challenge. In the winter, maintaining an open parking space can cost homeowners a significant amount of money and/or hours spent shoveling. Please take these things into consideration as you plan your trip, and be courteous to your local neighbors by trying to park directly in front of the home you have rented.



Staying in the mountains offers a unique and nature-immersed experience, characterized by a rustic charm. You might occasionally encounter some of the local wildlife, insects, and small critters that are part of the natural surroundings. We recommend keeping doors securely closed whenever possible. Rest assured, we've implemented thorough measures to ensure your stay remains undisturbed by these natural inhabitants.



Altitude sickness is real. In Leadville/ Twin Lakes, the elevation can be up to 10,000 feet. Symptoms can include dizziness and nausea, so please be mindful of this. We cannot offer refunds for guests experiencing altitude sickness. If you anticipate being affected, we recommend obtaining insurance at the time of booking.

Excellent communication with the host.Accommodations in Leadville are on the older side. This was our second year in Leadville, and it was a huge upgrade from last year's rental. The house is, according to Zillow, over 100 years old, so expect crooked floors and squeaking sounds when walking around in it.Now, I didn't bring a ruler, but we felt the beds were too small for queen-size beds.

The home was clean and exactly what we needed and so close to town!

We were there for business - a sculpture dedication at the Irish Miners Memorial which is worth visiting. But we also enjoyed being with in walking distance of the cafes and shops. The property was very clean. It does have quirks that go with a house that was built around 150 years ago, like some slightly sloping floors and such but that’s part of the fun.

Lovely apartment a short walk to town, the grocery store, the railway etc. Just bring an eye shade - the flat has great privacy blinds but not blackout shades/curtains so if you are used to sleeping in darkness you'll need it.
