Getting Around:
The Forget-Me-Not is in walking distance to most of downtown Leadville — Harrison Avenue restaurants, breweries, coffee, outfitters, and the Mineral Belt Trail. A car is recommended for groups planning to ski Ski Cooper (~25 min) or visit Twin Lakes / Mt. Elbert (~25 min) — there is no public transit between Leadville and the resorts. Free street parking is available out front. Allow extra time for snow/ice conditions Nov–April; plowing is reliable but Leadville averages 100+ inches of annual snow.
Other Things to Note:
ALTITUDE — Leadville sits at 10,152 ft, the highest incorporated city in North America. Some guests experience altitude symptoms (headache, fatigue, mild nausea) the first 24 hours. Hydrate aggressively and take it easy on day one. We cannot offer refunds for altitude-related issues.
NO A/C — Leadville stays cool year-round at 10,152 ft; A/C is not standard in any home here and is rarely needed.
NO HOT TUB — The home has an indoor jetted tub for two (one of the two bathrooms), not an outdoor hot tub.
NO PETS — This is not a pet-friendly home for renting guests.
WOOD STOVE — Primary winter heat source. Our guidebook + a quick text check-in walkthrough covers operation. Wood is provided.
PARKING — Free street parking out front. No garage.
WILDLIFE — You may encounter local wildlife (foxes, deer) and small critters. Doors stay closed; we maintain ongoing pest control.
LICENSE — City of Leadville STR license #001104.

Interaction with Guests:
We are local Leadville-based property managers. Self check-in via keypad means you can arrive late without coordinating; we send the code, the digital guidebook, and an introduction text the day before arrival. We're available by phone, text, or message 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. for anything during your stay — wood stove tips, restaurant recommendations, trail conditions, plumbing emergencies — and we run a 24/7 emergency line for urgent issues outside those hours. We don't drop in unannounced.
