Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Rustic off-grid mountain cabin just minutes from Leadville and Turquoise Lake. Enjoy solar power, Starlink Wi-Fi, outdoor shower, and wood stove. Cozy full bed and couch for comfort after hiking, fishing, or skiing nearby. Relax on the porch with stunning mountain views or gather around the fire pit under starry Colorado skies. A perfect retreat for couples or adventurers looking to escape and explore the Rockies without losing all modern comforts. Tennessee Creek Rd is part of the Leadville 100 race course (road does remain open during the races). During winter the same section of road are groomed snowmobile trails, so you can ski in or snowmobile in to the cabin. Bring your mountain bike, ATV/UTV, snowmobile, skis or snowboard to enjoy year round excitement! Blankets, bed linens, towels and pillows provided for guests comfort and convenience. (Summer months only! Winter months guests need to provide their own bedding & pillows i.e. sleeping bag, as cleaning services do not have access. No cleaning fee will be charged during winter months and guests are asked to leave the cabin in clean and ready to use condition for future guests) Cooking pots & pans, cooking utensils, 1 burner butane stove, charcoal smoker grill (bring your own charcoal), wood burning stove and fire pit are provided for cooking. ❄ Winter Vehicle Access Disclaimer Tennessee Creek Road typically becomes impassable to wheeled vehicles between Halloween and Thanksgiving and generally remains closed until Memorial Day. Depending on snowfall, this may occur earlier or later in the season. During times when the road is snow-covered and impassable, guests may access the cabin only by snowshoe, backcountry skis, or snowmobile. A public parking lot, which is plowed and maintained throughout the winter, is available for guest parking before using these alternative methods of access. 🛷 Trail Conditions: About a 2-mile stretch of Tennessee Creek Road is groomed during winter for skiing and snowmobiling up to Forest Road 103. Beyond that point, the road is ungroomed and may have deep powder or snow drifts, making travel more challenging. 🚰 Water: Running water is not available during the winter months, as water storage is winterized. Guests must either bring their own water or melt snow.

Trade the bustle of town for a stay that feels straight out of Colorado’s mining days at this quiet off-grid hideaway near Leadville. Tucked beneath a sturdy pole barn and surrounded by the rugged remains of historic mining camps, this cozy 2-bedroom, 2-bath camper blends frontier charm with modern comfort. Towering peaks, old mine workings, and roaming wildlife create an authentic Rocky Mountain setting, making it an ideal basecamp for prospecting local history, hiking alpine trails, casting a line, or relaxing by the fire after a day of adventure. Summer days are pleasantly mild, with temperatures often reaching the 70s before cooling into crisp 40-degree evenings. Open the windows, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy star-filled skies much like the miners once did.

Fresh water is hauled in from Leadville, so guests are encouraged to use water and electricity thoughtfully during their stay.

The location was perfect for us to have our own space and be close to friends that have a lake house. The spot was very private and had lots of shade.
