Like others have said, the Alps is comfortable and includes the amenities that most people want. It certainly is cheaper than most other Leadville motels and a good value. It isn't large enough to have a breakfast and that helps keep the prices down. When full, the parking can be tight but not really a problem unless you are pulling an ATV trailer. Watch the water temperature, Jeff makes sure the water is hot for the cold Leadville winters. We will stay here again.

Though I had originally intended to only stay for about five days the breakdown of my car stranded me there for the better part of two weeks. This hotel is probably one of the best in the mountain top town of Leadville which is located just off of HWY 24S. about 70 miles southwest of Denver. The rooms are nicely furnished, equipped with small fridges and microwaves and are very reasonably priced. The owners were on vacation during my time there but the former owners who were holding down the fort were extremely personable and helpful during that most trying of weeks on the road. Located at the edge of a town which stands at 10,430 feet elevation, the motel offers a scenic view of the nearby snow covered mountain peaks.

Love this place. Best Cabins in Leadville. Great views & super clean.

We thought that was how they all were, until we saw others and discovered that it was only this one particular unit (Lakawanna 1B). No exaggeration, there was not more than 1 person able to be in the entire kitchen at the same time. The second we put 2 people in there to expedite breakfast, we accidentally broke a glass. And of course, felt awful about it! There is a nice area between the cabins for playing horseshoes or other outdoor games, but the weeds are so high that it makes for a challenging game when people are not wearing long pants, as the children in our group did not like to. Also, we discovered that other cabins had very nice back decks with tables to encourage eating outdoors. Ours had a large front deck, with just some dusty plastic chairs. Positives were the amazing view, the ability to get our large group all lodged nearby one another, the comfortable beds, large bathrooms, and the fact that we did not have to put a hefty deposit down. Overall, this resort is fine and I would stay there again - but I would be certain to select one of the other cabins that would allow more space for cooking and family time.

Nice to have a table, but these chairs were not comfortable at all. I had to sit on the bed to do my computer work, which is difficult for someone with back problems. The toilet in the bathroom is very close to the sink and you are literally sitting with your legs under the sink. I could tell prior guests were sitting on the toilet at an angle because the seat was off kilter and it pinches your thigh when you get up off of it. I did like the special touches such as the little goodie bag and the water and drinks in the mini fridge.

The bathrooms are impeccably clean. Seriously the nicest and cleanest bathrooms we've ever seen at a campground. The staff is kind and very helpful. We had a problem with the electricity in our camper when we arrived and one of their employees came immediately to help us. Very kind. The campground is 5 minutes north of Buena Vista- a cute small town. Be sure to visit the newly-constructed "new downtown" that looks right out of a magazine--charming. Excellent whitewater rafting in the area. About half an hour south of Leadville. This area doesn't have your stereotypical mountain scenery but it is nestled in a wide valley between mountains. Morning and evenings are especially nice. I recommend staying here.

This was my first bed and breakfast experience, and it was a good one…read more The guest house is a large clean space above the garage. It has a private bath, a bed and a pull-out couch. There is also a long counter area with a sink, microwave, and small refrigerator. The proprietors supplied the room with a portable burners, if you wish to cook. Since there weren't restaurants in the area, we stopped at Whole Foods in Denver and stocked up on food for the weekend. After a long day of hiking, this was a great place to relax and unwind. Oh yes, there was also wireless internet for those who must stay connected. Liz was a great host to us. She offered to loan us winter gear for our trek, and she had homemade peanut butter cookies waiting for us upon our return. We stayed two nights- early the morning of our attempt at Mt Elbert, she made a robust breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast. The next morning was more relaxed, and she met us with pancakes and sausage. Delicious. The view was wonderful as well- on the patio, there are plenty of chairs to lounge around an outdoor fireplace, and there is a jacuzzi. All this overlooks Twin Lakes and the majestic mountains in the background. Next time, I hope to indulge in the outdoor amenities!

We had traveled out there in November to recon for the Leadville 100 MTB race. Then again we returned in August 2014 for the Leadville 100 MTB race. They have an awesome home, which they've shared with us as a B&B. Liz has cooked great us many great breakfasts and we've shared awesome conversations about all things in life - kids, life, teaching and the Leadville 100 MTB race. Since they live along the Leadville MTB race route and usually have racers staying with them, for the race they go out to cheer on and support the racers. They have a beautiful home, which I wish I could actually buy since they're selling it to move on to their next chapter in life. However, until they sell it appears they will either rent the entire house or just the B&B portion. Don't hesitate to contact James or Liz to spend the night or even 10 days with them... You won't regret it! We really hope to can stay at A Wolf Den for the 2015 Leadville race. Not only have Liz & James been great inn keepers, they have become friends whom we'll keep in touch with for years to come.

The lake is minutes away (as many other review mention), the hiking trail ties the campgrounds together - some take reservations, some do not. This one does not.

Even though it's just a pit latrine. It's not bad! I love this campsite!
