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, EV charger.
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
Guest Access:
You have the entire house — both floors, the deck, hot tub, and fenced backyard — plus free on-site parking and an EV charger.
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 plus an EV charger. 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:

Pets: welcome (up to 2 dogs) — a pet fee applies, registered through the guidebook link. Please let us know in advance and 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.
