the Sunset House - modern comfort with spectacular views

Welcome to the Sunset House in Leadville, Colorado!

We call it the Sunset House because it faces directly west and has spectacular views of 14,000 ft peaks from upstairs and downstairs porches. These porches include comfortable chairs to relax and recount the day's adventures as the sun sets, or to sip some morning coffee and be beckoned to adventure.

Every aspect of this home is modern and clean while having some rustic mountain character in the furnishings.

The other area is by the fireplace on leather furniture for relaxation, conversation, reading, game playing folk with a coffee table, an especially cozy feel in the winter months.

Amazing Location
The home makes a great "base camp" for everything Leadville has to offer. We love that it is so close to many amenities including the Mineral Belt Trail that passes right next to the house which is great for walking, running, hiking, biking or cross country ski right from the door. The home is on the north end of town so you can get quick access to Copper Mountain or Ski Cooper, two favorite ski destinations or maybe a snowshoe or summer hike at Mayflower Gulch and many other destinations. Short walk to Freight event venue. And still a short 10 minute walk walk will bring you to the main street of historic downtown Leadville, with many museum, dining and shopping options, including historic Tabor Opera House.
