The Space:

Papa's Place occupies Unit 102 of the historic Old Saint Vincent building — a fully renovated 1900s brick structure in the heart of downtown Leadville, Colorado. 621 sq ft, 14-foot ceilings, exposed original brick, and a corner fireplace under the original fixtures.



✔ Historic Character

14-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, early 1900s architecture. Corner electric fireplace. Record player with vinyl collection in the living room.



✔ Full Kitchen

Dishwasher, oven, stovetop, full-size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker. Cookware, dishware, and utensils — fully stocked for cooking at the property.



✔ Living Room

Comfortable seating, corner fireplace, record player, Smart TV with Netflix and HBO. Abundant natural light from the historic windows.



✔ Bedroom

Queen bed, Smart TV with Netflix and HBO, direct access to the full bathroom.



✔ Bathroom

Shower/tub combo, hair dryer, towels provided. Upgraded water heaters deliver reliably strong hot showers.



✔ Work + Laundry

Dedicated workspace with desk. In-unit washer and dryer. Iron and ironing board.



✔ Heating

Electric baseboard and wall-mounted heaters throughout. Space heaters and extra blankets in the closets.



Three Pros: (1) Real character — 14-ft ceilings and exposed brick aren't staging, they're the original building. (2) Full downtown walkability — restaurants, bars, and the Mineral Belt Trail are all on foot. (3) Full kitchen, full laundry — stay a weekend or a week without running out of anything.



Two honest notes: (1) No A/C — at 10,152 ft, Leadville rarely needs it. (2) The building is historic, with original windows; winter nights can feel cool even with all heaters running. Pack layers December through February and you'll be fine.



Guest Access:

Entire 1-bedroom loft is yours — please make yourself at home.



Check-in is self-service via a keypad. After you book, you'll receive an email from us with a link to our digital guidebook — the guidebook contains your access code and building entry instructions, and it's the only way to get check-in info. Please watch for that email and open it before you arrive, especially if you're landing late. If you don't see it, check your spam folder or message us directly through Airbnb and we'll re-send.



Parking: One off-street spot is included with the unit. Additional vehicles can park on the street nearby.



The Neighborhood:

Papa's Place sits three blocks from Harrison Avenue — Leadville's Main Street — with full walking access to the town's restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and historic attractions. The Mineral Belt Trail, an 11.6-mile paved loop around the historic mining district, starts just one block from the front door.



Leadville itself sits at 10,152 feet — the highest incorporated city in North America — surrounded by more 14,000-ft peaks than anywhere else in the Rockies. 360-degree mountain views from the neighborhood.

» 3 min walk ➔ Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad

» 5 min walk ➔ Healy House Museum

Getting Around:

A car is recommended. Downtown Leadville is fully walkable from Papa's Place, but the ski areas, Turquoise Lake, and trailheads all require a short drive. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is minimal and unreliable here — plan to drive or pre-book any transport.



Airports:

- Denver International (DEN): ~2 hours

- Eagle County (EGE): ~1 hour

- Aspen (ASE): ~2 hours 15 min (summer only; Independence Pass closes in winter)



From I-70, take Exit 195 and follow Highway 91 south over Fremont Pass. Plowed year-round, but check COtrip.org in a snowstorm.



Other Things to Note:

License # 004338



No pets — Old Saint Vincent HOA rules do not permit pets in the building.



Smoke-free — no smoking in the unit, stairways, entryways, or anywhere on the building exterior.



Parking: One off-street spot per unit. No RVs, boats, or trailers. Additional vehicles park on the street.



No elevator: The building is historic — all access is via stairs. Please factor this in if traveling with an infant, small children, or mobility limitations.



Baseboard heaters: Electric baseboard heaters run along the walls and get hot to the touch. Supervise young children accordingly.



Winter temperatures: Historic building with original windows. It will feel cool on the coldest winter days. Space heaters, extra blankets, and the fireplace help — bring layers December through February.



Altitude: Leadville sits above 10,000 ft. Some guests experience headaches, dizziness, or fatigue — drink extra water, go easy on alcohol your first night, consider travel insurance. Refunds are not offered for altitude-related issues.



Wildlife: Occasional insects or small critters are part of mountain living. Keep doors closed when possible.



Interaction with Guests:

Our team is here throughout your stay — available or invisible, your call. Message us anytime through Airbnb and we'll respond within an hour during the day. Full private access to the unit; we'll only come by if you need us.

The building and rooms were very good. Gaining entry was ridiculous and I wasn't sent a code to open the lock until we were there and standing outside in the snow for several minutes. Even then, the code didn't work until someone showed up to help out. Thank goodness another guest let us inside, where the code into the room did work. It's easy to make this work better and it gave the location a black eye.

Very nice condo with all amenities. We only stayed 2 nights to visit with friends. Close to downtown. Ample parking. Hallways are dimly lighted but we managed. Our only issue was with VRBO in trying to get location and checkin information in advance as opposed to day before and contacting host. The website kept failing and had to contact customer service 2 times to get resolution.

The property was nice enough, but there were some nagging deficiencies. * The keypad to access the unit is unlit and the hallway is dimly lit, necessitating the use of the light from a phone. A real inconvenience when your arms are full. * There was no stopper in the bathroom sink.* There is no closet in the bedroom for hang up clothes.* General repair was a bit lacking, nothing major, but many little things, like chipped paint, and cabinets that don't close fully etc.

Gaining access to this property was like Amazing Race/Survivor game and incredibly complicated. If we weren’t having so much fun already, this topped off our day. Place was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. My 17 son did NOT appreciate the fold out bed however. Tough night sleep.

Cozy and quirky

This unit is nestled in an old turn-of-the-century building overlooking the historic town of Vail. It was quiet, cozy, clean, and had everything needed for a fantastic weekend getaway: warm electric fireplace, ROKU TV, kitchen with all needed cooking utensils and dinnerware, extra blankies, comfy bed, big fluffy towels, and lots of charm. The building still has much of its old architectural elements like high ceilings, creaky wood floors, beautiful wooden staircases, iron decorative fencing, stained glass entryway, and much more, giving it a quirky old-school connection to the past. We brought our EMF detector to see if any spirits were present. I'm happy to report that all is quiet in this wonderful historic location. Enjoy the mountains and local history in this lovely condo.

We wanted to climb a couple 14ers while in the area and this location was easily accessible to Mt. Elbert and Mt. Sherman and the downtown historic district. Communication with host was excellent. There was a distinct smell in the room that we couldn't ever figure out, but we didn't mention it. I'm sure if we had, they would have checked on it. Very accomodating hosts!

Historic Leadville - Historic Condo Property

We love Leadville for the outdoors and the history, and this condo is historic too - located in what was once the Old St. Vincent's hospital (built 1901), it is a fascinating building. This quaint condo is older but comfie, management is helpful. Property is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of downtown, and grocery store. We have stayed here before, and would do so again.
