Guest Access:

Guests have the full private home to themselves — all three bedrooms, both bathrooms, the kitchen, the open living and dining areas, the covered deck, and the driveway. No shared spaces. Self check-in with door code. Your door code, WiFi password, and Leadville guidebook arrive by email before your stay.



The Neighborhood:

Ruby Lane is a quiet, wooded residential neighborhood in Leadville, Colorado — a few minutes' drive from downtown Harrison Avenue. Lots are spaced out, trees are abundant, and mountain views are visible from the deck. This is the mountain-retreat alternative to an in-town Victorian rental.



Walkable / short-drive downtown Leadville amenities (about 5 minutes by car): Periodic Brewing, High Mountain Pies, Treeline Kitchen, Silver Dollar Saloon (opened 1883), Melanzana (made-in-Leadville fleece), Delaware Hotel (1886), Tabor Opera House (1879), Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad depot, the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, and dozens of galleries, coffee shops, and mining-history attractions.



Year-round outdoor access: Turquoise Lake (15 min north — fishing, kayaking, Nordic skiing), Mt. Elbert (14,440 ft) and Mt. Massive (14,428 ft) trailheads (25 min south), Twin Lakes recreation area (25 min south), the Mineral Belt Trail paved loop (short drive), Ski Cooper (25 min north on US-24), Copper Mountain (~35–40 min east), Vail / Beaver Creek (~45–55 min via I-70), and Independence Pass to Aspen (1.5–2 hr in summer only; pass closed November–May).



The Leadville Trail 100 Run and Leadville 100 MTB race routes are accessible from nearby roads.



Getting Around:

Ruby Lane is a residential wooded neighborhood — you will need a vehicle for both your trip to Leadville and for getting to outdoor destinations. There is no regular public transit.



Airports: Denver International (DEN) is about 2 hr 15 min via I-70 and US-24. Eagle County Airport (EGE) is ~50 min via I-70. Colorado Springs is ~2 hr 45 min.



Parking: 2–3 vehicles fit in the driveway. Neighborhood roads are maintained year-round, but 4WD or AWD vehicles handle winter conditions more easily — snow is part of the environment up here. A standard sedan can work on plowed roads, but budget a bit more drive time in storm conditions.



Downtown Leadville is ~5 minutes away by car.



Other Things to Note:

For stays longer than 15 days, a mid-stay cleaning is required and an additional fee of $150 will apply. This helps us maintain a high standard of cleanliness and ensures the home stays comfortable for the duration of your stay.



ALTITUDE: Leadville sits at 10,152 feet — the highest incorporated city in North America. 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.



NO PETS: Ruby Lane House is a pet-free home.



WINTER DRIVING: Neighborhood roads are maintained, but 4WD or AWD makes winter access easier. Budget extra drive time during and after storms. Chains may be required on some Colorado roads during winter — check COTrip.org before long drives.



PARKING: 2–3 vehicles in the driveway.



NO FIREPLACE: This home does not have a fireplace.



OUTDOOR GEAR: Covered deck with Adirondack chairs, hanging egg chair, metal patio set, and propane grill.



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.



WILDLIFE: You're in a wooded mountain neighborhood. Expect the occasional insect, small critter, or mule deer walking through. We pest-treat regularly and ask that you keep doors closed.



LICENSE: License #2026-096.
