Excellent place to stay in Leadville. Our room was very comfortable and well-equipped. Staff was great in that they let us check in early as the weather had turned very snowy and so nice to be able to get into our warm room. Everything in town is within a 5-10 minute walk or a short drive (Safeway). Will definitely stay here again. Would love to be here in the summer.

Perfect place for a quick getaway for the weekend! Great location. Doesn’t feel motel-y. Walking distance to everything in town. Cute little fire place / hangout spot. We were able to bring our pup too!

The beds were fantastic!! Although We did not eat from the snack bar, I thought it was a great idea. It was a nice cozy room. I loved it was pet friendly, I was able to bring my dog. Don't worry he behaved And did not destroy anything. We will definitely come back.

We had an amazing stay while we were skiing at Cooper. We stayed in a renovated room with a queen bed and two bunks. This was the nicest room we’ve stayed while in Leadville. It’s within walking distance to downtown restaurants.

This was our second time staying at Timberline. We decided on the loft for this trip and it did not disappoint. The large open space was great for a group to gather. We love that Timberline is dog-friendly and the design and furnishings provide form and function. The bunk rooms (in the loft and rooms we stayed in previously) have their own lighting and outlets in each bunk- a huge plus for adult groups. The location is also a plus, right in the heart of Leadville with easy access to Ski Cooper, Tennessee Pass, and not too far to day trip to BV. The only downside to the loft is the stairs (would not be accessible if stairs were a limitation) and they do make bringing in a lot of gear and supplies somewhat difficult.

Our family loved staying at the Timberline. It was 2 adults and 2 kids (age 1 and 6) plus a dog. We stayed in the queen bed + bunk bed room upstairs. When we arrived after dusk the light in the stairwell was out, and it was pitch black. I texted the service number and they came and fixed it right away. The room was a good size and had so many little storage nooks that I was able to keep all our stuff organized over the 3 nights we were there. The little kitchenette was such a life saver. We cranked out breakfasts and dinners in there so we could still eat our normal healthy diet even while on the road. The location is perfect at the end of the downtown strip- perfect little jump off point to visit twin lakes, independence pass, and the fish hatchery. My only complaint which is very minor is they have a ton of hooks everywhere which I love, but they are very short so stuff falls off. Put some more substantial hooks in this place and it would be absolutely perfect. Review update: my husband lost his beloved hat I knit him with yarn I got in Norway that he has been wearing for 8 years. I texted the manager a pic to look out for it. A week later they found it!!! And sent it to us!!! So meaningful to have them go that extra mile on a special item that they very certainly could’ve forgotten or ignored.

Amazing place to rest during travels, perfectly located next to downtown, most comfortable beds in Lake County. Friendliest staff, super accommodating, and the best local recommendations. (High Mountain Pies was 🤘!)

Wow, what a great place! Did the booking online with Ethan and he was so helpful. The room was perfect for a quick road trip (not too fancy, not too stark) and the bedding was so wonderful we were tempted to take it home. The downtown location is perfect for exploring the shops and restaurants on foot. We even ran into Ethan on the street the next morning and he made it a point to ask about our experience. Definitely recommended!

Sleeping on a cloud The loveliest fluffiest bed. I slept like a princess. Attentive staff and easy check in. Easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. I would stay here again This place has been nicely remodeled and I hope they maintain it well because I'll admit that is was clean enough, but it wasn't sparkling clean (stained shower curtain, some dusty corners). Some folks won't make that distinction, but I know other travelers out there notice those little things. Other thing to note is that this place has a classic motel layout with the rooms all facing a central parking lot, which means you're at the mercy of how quiet your neighbors are when they arrive and leave or turn their kids loose to use the parking lot as a playground.
