Lady Sage — 1890s Leadville Victorian with Two Kitchens

Summary:

Lady Sage is a restored 1890s Victorian home on West 7th Street in downtown Leadville, Colorado — less than one block from Harrison Avenue, the town's main commercial corridor. The home is configured as two separate living areas: an upstairs suite and a downstairs suite, each with its own full kitchen, full bathroom, living room, and washer/dryer — built around the way two families actually want to travel together.



The home sleeps up to 8 guests across three bedrooms (1 King + 2 Queens) plus a pullout sofa. In-floor heating runs throughout. The kitchens are both fully equipped with full-size appliances. Mountain views from multiple windows; a gas grill and patio seating outside.



Harrison Avenue is a 1-minute walk — every downtown restaurant, bar, gallery, and museum sits within 5 minutes on foot. Turquoise Lake is 12 minutes north. Ski Cooper is 25 minutes north. Copper Mountain is 25 minutes east. Mt. Elbert trailhead is 26 minutes south. Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Beaver Creek are 30–50 minutes.



Parking is generous for a downtown Leadville home: one vehicle fits in front of the home and approximately four vehicles fit behind the home (with room for a camper or trailer). No air conditioning — not needed at 10,152 ft. Pet-free home. Managed by Traverse Hospitality. City of Leadville License #002472.



The Space:

Lady Sage is a restored 1890s Victorian home on West 7th Street in downtown Leadville, Colorado, configured as a two-level home where the upstairs and downstairs each function as a complete living area. Each level has its own full kitchen, full bathroom, living room with cable TV and DVD player, and washer/dryer — the design answer for two families traveling together or a multi-generational group that wants genuine separation while sharing one address.



The home sleeps up to 8 guests across three bedrooms (1 King + 2 Queens) with a pullout sofa as the eighth sleeper. In-floor heating runs throughout the home — noticeably warm on a Leadville winter morning. Both kitchens are fully equipped with full-size appliances: range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker. The two living rooms each have cable TV and DVD playback.



The patio holds a gas grill and outdoor seating with mountain views. Parking is generous for a downtown Leadville home: one vehicle fits in front of the home and approximately four vehicles fit behind — enough room for a camper or small trailer.

Other Things to Note:

ALTITUDE: Downtown Leadville sits at 10,152 feet. Plan your first 24 hours easy: drink double your usual water, ease up on alcohol, and avoid heavy exertion the day you arrive. Symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, and shortness of breath. We cannot offer refunds for altitude sickness — if you're prone, consider travel insurance.



NO A/C: Nights in Leadville run 40s–50s even in July. Windows and cross-breezes handle daytime warmth. A/C is not installed and is not needed at this elevation. In-floor heating handles winter.



NO PETS: Lady Sage is a pet-free home.



TWO-LEVEL SEPARATION: The upstairs and downstairs function as separate living areas. If your group prefers one family per level, coordinate room assignments in advance. There is an interior connection between the two levels.



PARKING: Generous for a downtown Leadville property — 1 vehicle in front, up to 4 behind the home. Campers and trailers can fit behind the home.



CHECKOUT TIME: Checkout is 10:00 AM. This is earlier than some rentals — please plan departure accordingly.



QUIET HOURS: Leadville observes Quiet Hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Turning off exterior lights during those hours helps the neighborhood enjoy dark skies.
