The Governor's Mansion was once the home of former Governor Jesse McDonald and is centrally located in Leadville's National Historic Landmark District. Part of this house was built in 1881, with the mansion portion completed in 1893. Former Governor, Jesse McDonald, who sought and found his fortune in Leadville, built this big house to entertain guests as they travelled through town.

Staying in the mountains offers a unique and nature-immersed experience, characterized by a rustic charm. You might occasionally encounter some of the local wildlife, insects, and small critters that are part of the natural surroundings. We recommend keeping doors securely closed whenever possible. Rest assured, we've implemented thorough measures to ensure your stay remains undisturbed by these natural inhabitants.

Altitude sickness is real. In Leadville/ Twin Lakes, the elevation can be up to 10,000 feet. Symptoms can include dizziness and nausea, so please be mindful of this. We cannot offer refunds for guests experiencing altitude sickness. If you anticipate being affected, we recommend obtaining insurance at the time of booking.

Great spot in Leadville

This was a great place for a getaway with family and a dog. It’s right downtown and very comfortable. The Netflix was a nice bonus! The kitchen setup allows for dining in, a nice option when everybody is tired from hiking. Clean and spacious, with lots of homey touches!

Great location

This property is excellent for a family with 2 kids. It is on the third level and required navigating a few flights of outside stairs. I wouldn’t recommend for anyone with mobility issues or daredevil toddlers, but it was perfect for us. We’d stay here again.

Top of the Mansion at the Top of the Rockies!

We stayed in this loft apartment for 2 nights. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We chose this place based on its location to town and it worked out beautifully for us! We could walk easily to downtown Leadville's main businesses very easily. Plus - the views from the apartment were fabulous. From the top of the mansion, we marveled at the top of the Rockies!

Really great location in a modest residential area. I had a lot of difficulty finding it in the dark, no signage or building numbers visible. It's a cute little loft, comfortable, but lacking in maintenance. Some of the windows appear to date from the original 19-th century construction, the newest are mid-20th century and falling apart, which would make for a drafty, cold place in a winter storm. The shower dribbles feebly. Communication from host was excellent.

Great location for long weekend in Leadville

This place was perfect for a long weekend exploring Leadville with my husband and cat. The loft had everything we needed. The only thing I could ask for is some lighting to help with going up and downstairs at night.

Nice lodging,

The property was nice. It was heated quite warm when we arrived and we had to turn down the heat and open it up to cool it down enough to be comfortable. We didn't get to stay the second night due to altitude sickness and had to head to lower elevation. But very much liked the accommodations.

Perfect Rendezvous!

The Loft on top of The Governor's Mansion was a perfect meeting place for two "old" friends who first knew each other when we worked at the Climax Mine. We both love Leadville so there was no doubt about the location. After taking some time to review options for lodging I decided on the Loft. It was perfect. Two bedrooms - one with a king-size bed if we wanted to sleep together and the other with twin beds if not. A living room and kitchen which was perfect for bringing back take-out and enjoying cold beverages. Since downtown is less than a block away, it is easy to walk to any of the restaurants and shops. The trek up to the third floor is breathtaking due to the spectacular view of Mounts Elbert and Massive as well as the altitude. Go slow and savor the experience! The treads on the stairs and efficient snow removal provide a safe ascent even during the winter months. (We used to say Leadville has three seasons: July, August and winter.) The days were the favorite ones I remember about Leadville - sunshine, bright blue sky, white snow, and bitter cold! It doesn't get any better than that...except maybe the picturesque summer days.

Good place overall

Good place to stay, but with difficult parking if you have a big vehicle. Also trying to find this location at night would be very challenging as you are coming in from the back of the house in a tiny back ally.. Three flights of stairs carrying luggage isn’t much fun either. Place is clean, has character, and is walking distance to most shops and restaurants.

Upstairs Loft Governors Mansion Leadville

Good little place. It would have been good to have known that the TV in the main room did not work as expected. After contacting the property manager (by e-mail) I found out that it would work on a few streaming services (no Netflix). This information was not available to me except through contacting the property manager. Also, there were no details on checkout until we were checking out. This was also found out through e-mail contact with the property manager. I called the property manager with a question about parking and did not receive a call back. It would have been better to have all the information up front.
