Right Where You Want to Be
In the heart of downtown Leadville, we’re just steps from restaurants, shops, and local landmarks — including the historic Tabor Opera House and our very own silver miner mural.
Whether you’re here to hike, bike, fish, ski, or just unwind in the mountain air, The Timberline is a great home base to explore it all. We’re not just close to downtown—we’re part of it. Quiet when you want rest, but just steps from Leadville’s small-town buzz.
Rooms That Fit Your Style and Stay
We offer three unique room types to fit your group size, budget, and travel style:
Motel Rooms
Clean, quiet, and better than you’d expect. Perfect for solo travelers and couples.
Kitchenettes
Great for families or friends traveling together. Includes a mini kitchen for longer stays.
The Loft
A spacious, 3-bedroom apartment with stunning views and lots of room to gather.
Curated art and decor in every room
Inspired by the incredible wilderness surrounding Leadville, we carefully curated art for every room. A mix of leadville antiques and treasures, old family photos (Stereo realist slides from the 50s!), and found art on the walls of all the rooms. No two are the same!

so many reasons to book direct
When you book directly with us, you’re doing more than just getting the best rate — you’re helping keep Leadville wild, welcoming, and thriving.
As an independent, family-run motel, we’re able to offer lower rates when you skip third-party booking sites — and we put those savings to good use. We proudly donate 1% of every direct booking to 1% for the Outdoors – Lake County, a program that protects the lands, trails, wildlife, and outdoor spaces that make Leadville special.
Funds raised support the work of the Central Colorado Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the beauty and heritage of our region — from scenic open space and recreation access to working lands and historic mining sites. It’s a small way to give back to the land that gives us so much.
We’ll keep you in the loop on special events and when we open future booking dates.
