The Space:
Named after the world`s largest palace of ice built in Leadville in 1896, this home takes you back to the lavish Victorian era following Lake County`s mining boom. Stunningly maintained and furnished, it now offers modern comfort and amenities alongside the antiques. Twelve guests have ample room to spread out between five bedrooms, four and a half baths, formal and informal sitting and dining rooms, a breakfast nook, and fully updated kitchen. There are three king beds, one queen bed, and three twins which have trundles. A fireplace and a large jetted tub are sure to please on a snowy winter`s evening. WiFi and TV`s are available for 21st century entertainment, or you could gather for a rousing game of cards. The Ice Palace sits just two blocks from Harrison Ave, in a neighborhood where some of the town`s most successful pioneers built to impress. You`ll also be a short stroll to Ice Palace Park and the Mineral Belt Trail. No matter the occasion, staying at this Leadville landmark will leave you with memories to treasure!

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.
