Nestled in the mountains of Leadville, Colorado, the S.L.umber Yard at FREIGHT is the perfect retreat. The property, once home to a lumber yard and freight depot, now boasts a brilliantly renovated event space, outdoor stage, and thirteen luxurious cabins. Whether you're celebrating a big milestone or just looking for a getaway, the S.L.umber Yard is the perfect place to stay. Inspired by homes built in the mining days, these modern cabins were thoughtfully crafted using recycled materials found on site. With rustic charm on the outside, and all the amenities on the inside, our cabins provide all the comfort you need. In tune with our mission to honor the stories of Leadville, we named the cabins after female sex workers who lived here. First the men came to work the mine. Then the ladies came to work on the line. These women's stories are rarely told, and so it's our honor to shine a light on them.

Welcome to our little slice of mountain heaven! Tucked away between Aspen, Vail, and Leadville, Gondola Village is more than just a cabin—it’s a dream we’ve built at nearly 12,000 feet. We’re pretty sure it’s one of the highest-altitude retreats on the planet, making it a true bucket-list spot for anyone with an adventurous soul. When you stay here, the Holy Cross Wilderness is literally your front porch. You’ll have direct access to pristine trails, hidden alpine lakes, and peaks that feel like they belong only to you, all while being just a few hours from the hustle of Denver. It’s Colorado’s "water wilderness" at its most majestic, and we can’t wait for you to experience the magic of having world-class hiking, fly fishing, and backcountry skiing right outside your door.
We’ve poured our hearts into the design of our two cabins, the Alpine Gondola Lodge and the Lost Gondola Lodge. We wanted to celebrate the rugged history of our local mining towns while bringing in the clean, cozy vibes of Scandinavian mountain design. Every corner is filled with things we love: snuggle up with Rumpl blankets, sip your morning coffee from Miir mugs, and cook up a feast on a classic Coleman stove. We’ve even tucked in a guitar, a library of our favorite books, and a super comfy Metolius couch for those lazy afternoons. Fun fact: because our spot is so secluded that big deliveries have to come in by helicopter, we’ve hand-picked every single item to make sure your off-the-grid stay feels special and incredibly comfortable.
You might have spotted us on Discovery Channel’s Reclaimed or heard about our support from Airbnb’s OMG! Fund. We’ve spent years learning how to blend high-end design with wild beauty, and Gondola Village is the result of that passion. It’s a place we built for people who, like us, are looking for a little peace, a lot of seclusion, and a chance to really plug back into the natural world.
Part of the magic is just getting here—it’s the first chapter of your adventure! Since we’re so far off the beaten path, access is part of the fun. You can hike or bike the scenic 2.5-mile uphill trail or if you’re driving, you’ll need a serious off-road vehicle with a winch and lockers to make the climb. In winter, the approach is 11 miles of over-snow travel.

Weekend Trip to High Camp, Leadville, Colorado
Super nice little cabin for two, and a secondary flat turf spot for tent camping. Chris offers a full service experience! He'll build your fire and even cook if you'd like! We were completely over prepared. The shower has hot water, there is a grill, and a personal butane burner in the cabin, there's an outhouse, and everything is hand crafted and clearly a labor of love. Setup a chair and watch wildlife walk right up to you, or wander up the winding trails behind the property. The site is only 25 minutes north of Leadville, so your backyard consists of world class hiking and biking. Camp Hale is just a few minutes north up the road for the history buffs, and Ski Cooper just a few minutes south. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the site and the host's company immensely and we intend to return to see Sando's vision continue to come to life!

2 nights at Gondola Village at Holy Cross
This was an amazing experience! Such a special/ sacred, remote and beautiful place. We hiked up, thinking we were pretty acclimated to the altitude , being in Boulder and then Vail for a few days, but quickly realized the altitude was hitting us hard. We made it after about a 3.5 hour gorgeous trek. Pro- tip- if you are planning to filter water, do so BEFORE you get to Holy Cross City. We waited and then had to come back down a ways as there wasn’t a close water source to the cabin. Unfortunately my body was having trouble acclimating throughout the first night. If you are new to the altitude, like us Minnesota girls, do your due diligence and have a satellite communication device. We had one, luckily didn’t need to use it but it gave me some comfort when I was physically struggling to know it was there. I would definitely recommend this spot to seasoned altitude seekers- ! Unfortunately for us we had to cut the trip a day short due to the tough altitude symptoms. I still feel grateful and proud of this experience and will always hold it close to my heart. Like any good true wilderness experience, I left feeling a greater respect for Mother Nature, humbled, and in awe.

We absolutely loved our time in Cabin 1 at Sapinero Village. The view was stunning – waking up to the Colorado landscape was a highlight of our trip. The cabin itself was spotless and well-maintained, and we really appreciated the extra touch of having an external bathhouse that was cleaned daily and always kept in great condition. It made our stay feel comfortable and worry-free.
Perfect for a small group (we were 4) and great value for the experience. Would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Gondola Village at Holy Cross
As everyone else said, this was SO worth the hard hike! What an incredible experience, we can’t wait to go back
A few things to know:
DRIVING/PARKING:
as of Aug 2026, the GPS coordinates for the parking lot for Tacomas and 4Runners leads you up the 4x4 HCR on Google Maps, which is NOT doable, so make sure you follow the written directions provided and NOT Google Maps!!!!
HUT LOCATION:
We had a hard time locating the hut from the city - it is up the hill to the LEFT when you are facing the HC city. we could not see the huts at all because of the trees and were very unclear where to go and it took us a little while to find
Other things:
- Highly recommend Cleveland Lake day hike
- Easy access to water source when we went (slow trickle moreso than a stream but easy to get to)
- Don’t recommend relying on the solar generator/panels
- We hiked up the 4x4 road (by accident) and it was ~4.5 miles, ~2400 elevation gain. Constant uphill with tough rocky terrain
Don’t want to give all the fun away, but it was even better than we expected and highly recommend this experience! We can’t wait to go back

3 nights at Gondola Village at Holy Cross
A good high-alpine base camp. The construction is tight, the windows and screens are new, we didn’t have a single mosquito or fly during the stay despite keeping the windows open.
The small steel table works well as a camp kitchen, and there’s pots and a frying pan available. There was a tiny rivulet 30 yards from the cabin with just enough flow to refill bottles.
Off-roaders will love the jeep trails. We hiked, and carried water shoes for the crossings on French Creek but didn’t need them (it’s a drought year). There are nicer hiking trails up above the cabin and toward Fancy Lake/Pass. We found Gaia far more useful than Alltrails in this area since most of the old trails are unnamed/unmarked and without pre-recorded routes.
The bed is comfortable. We brought sleeping bags and pillowcases. At 1:00am, the first night, some animal was scratching at the siding and then on the beams underneath. Very loud. I used a long piece of wood (there’s still plenty of construction detritus around, handy for the purpose) to roust it out, then it left us alone for the rest of the trip.
Things to bring: water filtration, maybe sporks, charged headlamps and battery backup since the current solar/battery system in the cabin is not functioning. Ben intends to work on it…but near term I’d bring a backup, so your phones/nav don’t die like ours did before getting out of the wilderness.
All-in-all a great trip. Thanks, Ben, for managing this place and letting us stay. What a cool adventure!

I was on a month long camping trip so staying at a cabin to rest and have some AC for a few days, while being able to recharger devices, was a great reset that I needed. Working on the porch, sitting in the swing was a bonus! Beautifully renovated restrooms/showers too, it felt quite luxurious compared to other places I’d showered during the month lol. Linens/towels provided in cabin as well.
Quiet place at night which is much appreciated, respectful people, and each of the different camping styles are offered to suit all needs.
Amazing place to be to take a break from tent/dispersed camping!

1 night at Tomichi Creek Trading Post
Great community of riders. Owner Jon said hello within 30 minutes. Share stories and intel with other motorcyclists. Great location.
Cabins are tight but make for an easy stop.
Highly recommended as a base camp for riding.

Weekend Trip to Gondola Village at Holy Cross
We had a wonderful stay at Gondola Village - would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique backcountry adventure. The hike in was beautiful and enjoyable - about 3 miles, taking us around 3 hours because we took our time, soaked in the scenery, and chatted with a few friendly hikers along the way. There were plenty of opportunities to collect and filter water from the creeks, so we realized that carrying 2–3 liters each from the trailhead wasn’t really necessary.
Once we arrived, the area felt peaceful and remote. We enjoyed exploring the remnants of Holy Cross City, visiting Cleveland Lake, and filtering water from the nearby streams. We brought all of our own gear, but it was nice to find the hut well stocked with useful supplies, and the outdoor shower was a great bonus after a day of hiking.
One tip for future guests: when you arrive, open the windows and screens for a few minutes to let the moths out before settling in. Once it gets dark, keeping the lights off helps avoid attracting more. The views from the hut are absolutely incredible and made for a memorable place to relax.
The only unexpected part of our trip was being awakened around 1:30 a.m. Saturday by a group on ATVs, but otherwise it was remarkably quiet. We only encountered a couple of small groups at Cleveland Lake… on our hike out, which took us about 2 hours, we didn’t see another person until we reached the parking lot.
This was a fantastic and unique experience-we enjoyed our time!!!

We were glad to be someplace quiet with our scaredy dog on the 4th. We didn't realize they would have linens / towels so nice surprise. Tried the restaurant once and was decent. Store was surprisingly well stocked. Thank you! Small space inside as expected - once we added a dog bed and a pack and play for the baby, we could just barely get in and out to our beds.

1 night at Starry Nights Cabin
The starry night cabin was 10 out of 10 it’s in the perfect location, close to town and also close to off road trails. It’s the perfect size for a couples getaway with the hot tub and games we had a really wonderful time, thank you

Weekend Trip to Gondola Village at Holy Cross
Amazing location and great host. We saw epic views and got to explore around alpine lakes and streams. It was a great backpacking experience without needing to bring the tent/sleeping pads. We can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Riverfront Mountain Ranch
My spouse, two dogs, I stayed in the cabin closest to the bathrooms. Our stay was great! The large king bed is very comfortable, it reminded of my own bed, so that says a lot for comfort and good nights rest. We stayed for two nights. We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast as there were options for fresh hot food off the griddle made to order and other small breakfast treats on the side they offered (yogurt parfaits, bakery donuts, orange juice, and coffee with an array of creamers to your liking). I greatly appreciated the quiet hours enforced there, not once was there any disturbance. It was very peaceful. Biggest liking was the bathroom amenities and potable water availability! Rarely is it seen on any campground that bathrooms are so clean and water readily available. I know this is glamping, but you definitely get what you pay for and it was worth it. Just a few things to note - I thought there would be a picnic table at my cabin, but there was not unfortunately. I didn’t bring my camping table because I expected that, given it was provided in the description of the site. They did provide two patio chairs and a fire ring with endless free firewood on site. There’s a wonderful community tent area with games for kids and tables with chairs and a community grill. We didn’t use it but it was nice to know that was available. Bathrooms were stocked with items you would usually have at home, so that was very accommodating!
