What a gem! My husband and I love to travel and find local places to stay, our favorite being remodeled motels. And The Timberline did not disappoint. Easy to spot with the stunning black and red paint job! The perfect space to relax after a long day of exploring. The bed was 10/10. The modern design with outdoorsy touches was perfect. Don’t be turned off by the instant coffee… it was 10/10 too! I even ordered a box as soon as we checked out. If we are ever in Leadville again, this is where we will stay. Communication for checking was seamless. Professional. Enjoyable.

The family room we booked was perfect for two adults and two kids. Wish we had more time in Leadville than our one night stop over. If we find ourselves in Leadville in the future we’ll definitely do the Timberline again!

Leadville gem Recently stayed at the Timberline Motel in Leadville, a vintage motor court that has been updated. It had everything we needed and more. Breakfast in not included but there are a number of cafes a few blocks away. Linens and towels were nice and the innkeeper provides more than enough. Room was clean. The night hours were peaceful. There was a hot water kettle for tea and coffee and a small fridge. We were skeptical about the freeze dried coffee but pleasantly surprised and it was good enough to get us going. Nice bath products. Cute minimalist decor. We were able to park right in front of our door. The management texted us when the room was clean so we were able to access our room a bit before check in time.

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.
