The Space:
A 2-bedroom loft inside Old Saint Vincent — an 1880s hospital converted into residences on Leadville's Main Street. Second floor, 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and floor-to-ceiling windows with mountain views.
The infrared sauna is built into the master bedroom — step in after a day on the mountain without leaving the unit. The private balcony faces the peaks and catches both sunrise and sunset. An electric fireplace handles the evenings.
The kitchen is fully stocked with a GE stainless steel range, full-size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and hot water kettle. Cookware, dishes, and spices for 4. The dining area seats 4 with mountain views through the windows.
A dedicated workspace with high-speed WiFi sits in the main living area — 14ft ceilings, exposed brick, Smart TV with streaming.
What this loft does well:
— Infrared sauna + private balcony in a walkable historic building, 1 min from Main St
— 14ft ceilings, exposed brick, and massive windows — the architecture carries the room
— 2 queen beds with 2 full en-suite bathrooms — each bedroom is self-contained
What to know before booking:
— No air conditioning — at 10,152 feet, Leadville stays naturally cool year-round
