The Space:
The Tennessee Pass Cabin sits on 8.87 wooded acres along US Highway 24, ten minutes north of downtown Leadville and six minutes south of Ski Cooper. From the deck, Mt Elbert and Mt Massive run the southern horizon.
The 2015 build is three stories — living and kitchen on the main level, master and loft up top, workout/bunk space on entry.
▸ Bedroom 1 (3rd Level / Master): King bed, en-suite with separate glass shower and a freestanding clawfoot tub
▸ Bedroom 2 / Loft (3rd Level): Queen Murphy bed
▸ Bedroom 3 (Main Floor): Queen bed, full bathroom across the hall with glass shower
▸ Lower Level (Entry): Queen-over-queen bunk in a multi-use room with a treadmill, free weights, and a TV
Note: 5 beds total, but the property is licensed for 4 guests max (Lake County License #2025-P2).
KITCHEN
Full kitchen stocked for actual cooking, not just reheating: Ninja blender, KitchenAid stand mixer + hand mixer, crock pot, toaster oven with built-in air fryer, plus the basics.
LIVING & ENTERTAINMENT
Wood-burning fireplace in the living room (this is the cabin's primary heat — see Cons below). Two TVs (living room + workout room) with Starlink, so guests sign into their own Netflix/Hulu/whatever.
OUTDOOR
8.87 acres of forest, a deck for the views.
3 PROS:
✔ Real privacy — 9 wooded acres, no neighbors in sight, the kind of quiet that only exists outside town
✔ Mountain views from the deck — Elbert and Massive on the skyline, plus the Sawatch ridgeline running south
✔ Six minutes to Ski Cooper (480 acres, 64 runs, Colorado's most affordable family ski hill) — plus 25 min to Copper, 35 min to Vail/Beaver Creek
2 CONS:
✘ Heat is wood-burning stove first, radiant backup. If feeding a wood stove on cold nights isn't your idea of a vacation, this isn't the right cabin.
✘ Three levels with stairs to every floor — no single-level access to the master or the kitchen/ living room
Guest Access:
You have the entire 3-bedroom cabin and the full 8.87-acre lot to yourselves.
Self check-in via smart lock.
Free parking in the driveway for 2–3 vehicles. The driveway is on a hill and ices up in winter — 4WD or AWD recommended November through April.
No shared spaces. No on-site host. Traverse Hospitality is a phone call away if anything comes up.
The Neighborhood:
The cabin is on US Highway 24 about 10 minutes north of downtown Leadville and 6 minutes south of Ski Cooper, in the high forest just below Tennessee Pass. This is the corridor the 10th Mountain Division trained on at Camp Hale during WWII — ski and mountain history is everywhere up here.
You're roughly halfway between town and the ski hill: a Harrison Avenue restaurant or a Ski Cooper lift ticket are both about 6–10 minutes away.
WHAT'S NEARBY
▸ Ski Cooper — 6 min (480 acres, 64 runs, 100% natural snow)
▸ Downtown Leadville — 10 min (restaurants, the Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad, the National Mining Hall of Fame, Tabor Opera House, Melanzana flagship)
▸ Tennessee Pass Nordic Center — 5 min
▸ Camp Hale historic site — 15 min north on US-24
▸ Turquoise Lake — 15 min (boating, fishing, paddleboarding)
▸ Mt Elbert / Mt Massive trailheads — ~20 min south
▸ Copper Mountain — 25 min via Hwy 91
▸ Twin Lakes village — 25 min
▸ Vail / Beaver Creek — 35–40 min over Tennessee Pass
The neighborhood itself is forest. Other cabins exist along US-24 but they're tree-screened and spaced. No restaurants, gas station, or convenience store within walking distance — Leadville is the closest town for groceries and dining.
Getting Around:
You'll need a car. There's no public transit and no reliable rideshare in Leadville.
FROM DENVER (DEN): ~2hr 15min via I-70 W, then Hwy 91 S through Copper Mountain to US-24. Crosses Fremont Pass (11,318 ft). 4WD or chains recommended December through March.
FROM EAGLE / VAIL (EGE): ~50 min via I-70 W, then US-24 S over Tennessee Pass. Easier winter approach.
FROM ASPEN (ASE): ~2hr via Independence Pass — but Independence Pass is closed November through May, so winter requires going around via Glenwood Springs (~3hr).
ONCE HERE: Everything is on US-24. Ski Cooper 6 min north, downtown Leadville 10 min south, Copper Mountain 25 min east via Hwy 91.
PARKING: Free in the driveway for 2–3 cars. The driveway is on a hill and ices up November through April — 4WD or AWD recommended in winter. US-24 itself is plowed reliably by Lake County.
NO UBER / LYFT: Plan groceries and dining around having your own vehicle.
Other Things to Note:
License Number: License # 2025-P2
Read this before booking — the things guests sometimes don't expect.
▸ HEAT: The wood-burning stove is the primary heat source. Radiant backup exists, but in cold months (October–April) you'll want to use the wood stove to keep the cabin comfortable. If feeding a wood stove isn't your idea of a vacation, this isn't the right cabin.
▸ NO AIR CONDITIONING: At ~9,800 ft of elevation, summer nights cool naturally. You won't need it — but you should know.
▸ STAIRS: Three levels, stairs between each. Master is on the 3rd floor, the workout/bunk room is on entry. Not single-level accessible.
▸ ALTITUDE: ~10,000 ft. Altitude sickness is real — headache, dizziness, nausea. Hydrate, take it easy your first day, consider travel insurance. We can't refund for altitude sickness.
▸ WINTER ACCESS: 4WD or AWD recommended November through April. Driveway is on a hill and can ice up.
▸ NO OPEN FIRES: Outdoor open fires not permitted. Indoor wood-burning stove is fine.
▸ HUNTING SEASON: Property is in Trophy Elk Area 49 (adjacent to 48 and 45). If you're a hunter, this is a working basecamp. If you're not, the cabin is still quiet — but you may hear hunters in the surrounding forest in season.
▸ LICENSE: Lake County Land Use License #2025-P2. Maximum 4 guests — please don't bring extras.
▸ CHECK-IN: A digital guidebook link arrives by email a few days before arrival. This is the only way check-in details are sent.
Interaction with Guests:
Managed by Traverse Hospitality with a 24/7 answering service. We're as available or invisible as you want — Superhost team responds within an hour. Check-in instructions arrive by email a few days before arrival via our digital guidebook.
