Leadville Colorado Vacation Rentals
Highest in the Land
Cielo Vista Vacation Properties would like to Welcome you, your family, friends, or group to the "Highest Incorporated Town" in the United States, Leadville, Colorado, 10,152'. Civilization as you know is all down hill from here! Literally. In fact the backbone of the U.S., The Continental Divide, runs just to the west side of town. You can't miss it. It's that grey rocky thing that rises 2,500' above tree line and runs from Canada to New Mexico. On the day the Duke died, Jimmy Buffet found himself on the Continental Divide. Pondering which direction to take, he decided to ride into Leadville and have a beer. Or so the song goes. Leadville is that kind of town where you can slow down, have a beer, and reflect on life or go for the gusto in the great outdoors with extreme activities such as climbing to the top of the 2 tallest mountains in the entire Rocky Mountain Range.Warm Welcomes

In Leadville it's all about choice, living on the edge backcountry skiing in the middle of a Rocky Mountain winter storm or kicking back all curled up by the fireplace watching the snowflakes the size of a silver dollars cover everything that doesn't move. Please permit me to make a suggestion before you embark on your Rocky Mountain Vacation. Choosing equal parts of living life large and laid back leisure, seems to generates the most memorable vacations. At least that's what our quest say. Each day there is a new kind of adventure for the young and old such as hiking, biking, snowshoeing, or skiing. Afterwards you might want to head into town for awesome libations and sustenance or back to the deck for chilling and grilling. There is extra cool things for the kids like train rides, ice skating, or sledding. And when the night falls it really falls. A chill fills the air and the stars are so close and bright you can actually see the Milky Way with the naked eye. No kidding. Our Activities and Events page has hundreds of suggestions to keep you busy and engaged in the Rocky Mountain lifestyle we all adore and love.
Enjoying Your Stay
Leadville is a unique piece of Americana, filled with Western Mining History, the lure of Gold and Silver, and the Boom and Bust of the rich and infamous. The "Iron Horse" carried more gold and silver out of this town than any other in Colorado. Leadville is one of the reasons why Colorado has a U.S. Mint located in Denver. It houses the second largest stock pile of Gold in the Nation. Second, Only to Fort Knox. But it's not just a mining town. It is blessed with shear Natural Beauty.
