About this property

Chalet in the Woods on 30+ Acres!

Secluded 2BR/2BA chalet on a forested 30+ acres adjacent to the Mt. Massive Wilderness Area to enjoy a never-ending backyard! Our 3-story chalet features a sauna, an expansive deck to take in the views, and even a private pickleball/platform tennis court (weather permitting). Option to sleep another person on an L-shaped couch with ottoman and mattress pad. Take advantage of nearby skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, fishing, and river rafting.

100% wind power from the utility provider.

Satellite Internet and LTE work great! Stay connected or totally disconnect.

Property is easily accessible in winter! Adjacent SH-300 road is regularly plowed by the State.

Leadville sits at 10,200 feet in altitude and is centrally located in Colorado. Great place from which to launch adventures! Many ski areas are within about an hour's drive in the winter:
Ski Cooper - ~15 miles
Copper Mountain - ~30 miles
Beaver Creek - ~44 miles
Breckenridge - ~46 miles
Keystone - ~48 miles
Vail - ~50 miles
Loveland - ~51 miles
Arapahoe Basin - ~52 miles
Monarch Mountain - ~73 miles

In the summer, Aspen is accessible via nearby Independence Pass. Buena Vista and access to commercial rafting operations are ~33 miles away. Climb nearby '14ers' Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive, or just enjoy the serenity of being in the forest.

Cozy cabin
Easy check in, owner was very nice and easy to get ahold of. Parking is a little hard if you have a large trailer like we did but it's not impossible. Beds were actually some of the best we've had. We didn't use the sauna.

Get away in the mountains
Need to unplug and get away from it all? While there is high speed internet, it was great to just relax at the fire pit, see wildlife, and enjoy exploring the property. The kitchen had all the tools that allowed us to prepare some great meals. David had a great recommendation for Treeline Kitchen for a great restaurant in Leadville.

Great location for climbing Mount Elbert!
This was the perfect location for climbing Mount Elbert, and very close to Leadville and Twin Lakes - but still had a remote feel. It was very clean, cozy and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again.

Weekend stay for the Leadville Trail 100
Excellent location, comfortable place, with a well-stocked full kitchen and nice communal living room space. Our group used this cabin as a home base for crewing, pacing, or running the Leadville Trail 100. Driveway could fit 4 cars no problem, decent cell service, and location was close to the race start/finish, aid stations, and shuttle locations. Only downside of this place might be that the hardwood in the upstairs bedroom makes it more challenging to be quiet while other people are sleeping downstairs. But overall convenient and comfortable!

Great Cabin
This property was very nice. We have three boys who loved playing on the tennis court and exploring the woods in the backyard. Nice secluded location so no one around to bother you. Leadville was close by but it’s kind of a different town. Overall it was a place I’d go back to.

Perfect location for Leadville activities
My family (Wife, 20 ,17 year old "kids" ) loved this place. Awesome property to hike around and explore up the hill to a little stream and more. So close to all of the Leadville activities but still out in the woods. We did ATV'ing, Paddleboards at Twin Lakes, Hiked up above Turquise Lake (Haggerman Trail), golfed at Mt. Massive course and hiked the little nature trail at the nearby (2 mintues away) fish hatchery. Inside of property is very cool. Fit our family perfect but was "cozy", which was good! Very well stocked kitchen as we cooked there 3 nights and spent one in town. We ate at the Tennessee Pass Cafe in town. I would recommend it! Large menu with tons of options in a cool old building, or you could sit outside. The deck overlooks the other house that is getting worked on by the road but didn't ruin the view and ambience of the mountains. I could sit there all day. Overall a great place to stay near Leadville. We usually move around different towns and places in Colorado but would stay there again for sure if near Leadville. Highly recommend!

Quiet cozy escape
Great place to stay just outside Leadville. We loved that this place was a bit removed from town. It was so quiet and relaxing, but still close enough to everything we wanted to do. 30-45 minute drive to Copper mountain with zero traffic. Plenty to check out close by. The property had everything we needed. They even had snow shoes and cross country skis to try out. I tried the snow shoes, but my heavy frame and 2-3 feet of snow was just too much to overcome. But I still had fun. We're already talking about coming back in the summer to check out all the hiking trails and lakes.

Thank you.
We enjoyed the home very much. After a long day of hunting and being cold to the bone. It was satisfying to come to a sauna with clear cedar wood and bring the cold to the bone chill back to warmth. Thank you very much.

Mountain getaway
We are lowlanders from the east coast who needed a quiet secluded location close to hiking and a reasonable drive from the tourist part of Colorado. This location fit the bill 100%. We were 2 hours from Denver, Colorado Springs, and Glenwood springs. There was also plenty to keep us busy right near Leadville. The property owner was spot on with his description of the property and he had plenty of suggestions for local activities to keep us occupied. The beds were super comfortable, we did not take advantage of the sauna due to my wife expecting but it was a great added touch.

Loved our visit! The cabin has great amenities and is in a cozy, quiet and secluded area. After full days of hiking the kitchen was clean and easy to navigate, amenities of shower and bathroom were excellent and the beds were like a five star hotel. The Leadville area is full of life with plenty to do. Thank you!

Location!
We were only a short distance from Twin Lakes, Independence Pass, and Turquoise Lake! We really enjoyed the location! The property around the house was great for hiking! One thing I didn't like was the fact that your view of the front yard was the neighbor's roof. I feel like a "secluded" cabin shouldn't overlook another house. But other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!

We were super comfy at the cabin and couldn't have asked for a better location for all the activities we were interested in. The cabin has fabulous hiking trails right out the door! We explored Mt. Huron, Hope Pass, Timberline Lake, Turquoise Lake, and the town of Leadville. The beds and linens were divinely comfortable. Super quiet location with beautiful star gazing opportunities galore.
