About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gem Palace with Hot Tub & Sauna!

Summary:
The Gem Palace is in the east wing of the Cloud City Castle. Located downtown, this home is beautiful, historic Victorian home.

The Space:
This is a 2 story home and includes 4 bedrooms (2 upstairs, 2 on the ground floor), 2 bathrooms downstairs. The downstairs queen bedroom has a two person infrared sauna.

1.5 blocks from Main Street! Once you get here, you won't need your car to do anything in town! Fancy some snow activities? Copper Mountain and Ski Cooper are each just under 30 minutes away!

You have your own privacy indoors and a shared courtyard (including hot tub) with the group renting out the west wing. Also, the property owner sometimes stays in the West Wing.

Guest Access:
You have access to anything in the house! Help yourself to anything in the kitchens except what's labeled in the owner's cupboard. Make yourself at home!

The Neighborhood:
The location of Cloud City Castle is one of the main reasons we chose to manage it - it's amazing! You're only 2 blocks from Harrison Street, Leadville's Main Street, but the neighborhood itself is quiet, peaceful and safe. The house has a shared courtyard (with the West Wing) with a hot tub and plenty of indoor space!

Getting Around:
Located just 2 blocks from Main street means that most places in town can be reached by foot.

There is free street parking right in front of the house, but you can catch a bus in town to Copper Mountain and to the Frisco Transit Center.

Other Things to Note:
License # 002060

This property does not have air conditioning.

If it snows more than several inches, look for snow removal signs to make sure you don't violate any temporary parking rules.

Since this unit is part of a duplex, there can be some noise transfer from unit to unit. As such, please respect our quiet hours policy of 10PM to 8AM daily.

Must climb stairs to get to 2 of the bedrooms.

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.

Interaction with Guests:
I stay in the other units on the property on occasion and love meeting my guests! If I'm not around and you have any questions just reach out via the app or call/ text and the High Rocky Homes team can help you!

Boom Days
We came as an extended family (5 adults, 4 kids, 1 dog) to both celebrate my wife’s birthday and for Boom Days, with the main attraction the Burro Races. The home is ideal, only 2 blocks from the main drag, and plenty of room for all of us. Kids loved the hot tub. We only stayed one night so didn’t use many of the facilities, well appointed kitchen, washer and dryer, etc. The only downer was Boom Days does not want dogs, so we took turns walking him around the perimeter. Would recommend, especially for a good sized group.

Great getaway spot walking distance to downtown
The house was perfect spot for our vacation. The proximity to the main street couldnt have been any more convenient. The history of the house was pretty cool amd the layout worked for a larger group. There can defintely be some upgrades in the house without compromising the original characters of the house (appliances, carpet, etc). The hot tub was a great amenity, however the water was dirty and needed to be cleaned. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would rent again.

Great place and good location
We come to Leadville many times a year for training camps and races. This is one of the best places we've stayed due to the bedding arrangement and the large kitchen. The sauna and hot tub don't hurt either! There is also a good amount of space for hanging out between workouts.

Great spot
Great place! Very interesting old home with a lot of character. We didn’t realize checkout was at 10 so we were late getting out the door and they were very understanding. Only downsides were that the hot tub smelled very chlorinated so we didn’t use. And we got locked out of one of the bedrooms for awhile bc the door lock jammed (which was scary bc my infant was in the room). And it took some time to get in touch with someone to help. There were a lot of doors w a lot of weird locks. But overall it was a great stay!!

Just As advertised
Older home with plenty of room. Upstairs better for younger folks as the stairs are winding. Kitchen adequate and hot tub was great after a day out. Would definitely stay here again.

Stay at Leadville
Property was nice and quaint. I would not recommend for younger people as it has no WIFI and the bathroom facilities are in general areas that are not comfortable to younger people (no privacy). Also, toilets are old and not very private in one location. Kitchen facilities are limited and appliances are old and in disrepair. No toaster but a toaster over which is old and not very efficient. Overall a very nice place but could be improved for guests.

Wonderful Little Gem!!
We went to get away and have our own Lillie place for some solitude. Upon arrival we were skeptical of sharing a yard and some of the amenities. Turned out this time it was not too bad! We got to meet Pants which is a very large poodle with an even bigger heart he was very friendly and welcoming!! Checking in and out was easy easy!! Property managers are great to communicate with. We loved the uniqueness of the home from the pictures on line, later discovering it was possibly owned by the famous “unsinkable” Molly Brown!! That made it just that much better!! Plenty of room for the four of us! Never felt crowded or on top of each other. If we get back we’re thinking we will try to rent out both sides of the home and bring a couple more girls along ☺️

Loved the hot tub and sauna! These were perfect after a day at Ski Cooper. Everything else as expected, had what we needed and was clean. All the lock boxes on doors is a little odd but the character of this historic home is charming.

Leadville Vacation
Very cute property - definitely has a fun funky vibe and lots of nooks and crannies. Kids would love this property! I ended up renting both sides of this property-the East for the entirety of the trip and the West for a portion. Very cute property that is super close to downtown and all that Leadville has to offer. The host was very communicative and the check-in process was very easy. Love that this property is dog friendly and has a great fenced in backyard. We enjoyed using the hot tub and the sauna after a long day of outdoor activities. The East side does have two very steep winding staircases. This could be an issue for some individuals or pets. It also states 4 bedrooms in the listing, but there are actually 3 and then a 4th tiny room within the attic bedroom. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked all of our meals there. There is a Safeway grocery store nearby which made grocery shopping easy. We look forward to visiting again! It was a great relaxing getaway with lots of fun outdoor adventures!

Perfect getaway spot for our big group
Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying here over Christmas. We struggled to find a reasonably priced rental that could fit our group of 7 adults, two young children and a few dogs. We booked both the East and West wing so that our group had the whole house, and this fit the bill and gave us plenty of space to not feel cramped and on top of one another. The house has tons of character, and it's just about a block from the Leadville main drag. Communication with management was easy. I don't have a single negative thing to say about our experience!

Great house in Leadville
The house is so cute and quirky, perfect for small or large groups! The house was very clean when we arrived and the check in/check out instructions were very simple and clear. The house is very unique with lots of winding staircases and odd little nooks and crannies everywhere which would be great for families with small children! We had a great experience here and highly recommend it to future travelers!

Cute and Comfy House
Cute and comfy house with fun 70s decor, furnished with a kind management service offering warm welcome. The house was absolutely great except it’s a duplex and the next door renters were barely 21, partying all night and really loud next door and in the hot tub. That was the only bummer, but they were also bad tenants and not to be blame the owners. Thanks again for the hospitality!
