The Governor's Mansion was once the home of former Governor Jesse McDonald and is centrally located in Leadville's National Historic Landmark District. Part of this house was built in 1881, with the mansion portion completed in 1893. Former Governor, Jesse McDonald, who sought and found his fortune in Leadville, built this big house to entertain guests as they travelled through town.

Staying in the mountains offers a unique and nature-immersed experience, characterized by a rustic charm. You might occasionally encounter some of the local wildlife, insects, and small critters that are part of the natural surroundings. We recommend keeping doors securely closed whenever possible. Rest assured, we've implemented thorough measures to ensure your stay remains undisturbed by these natural inhabitants.

Leadville Marathon
We enjoyed our stay. The road construction right behind the house was very loud and they started early in the morning. The grass also needed to be mowed. There are some lights that need new bulbs. Wonderful location!

Rotary Event Leaders Accommodations
Seven team leaders for a youth leadership event stayed here for a weekend. The house was large enough to allow each of us our own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen had every utensil we required. Quiet and spacious.

A great Colorado stay!
This property is great for several couples or a large family as the house is quite spacious with several living areas. It is well maintained and the owner has great communication with guests. We will certainly be back!

Loved the house but needs improvements
I believe better communication is needed with this property. I usually get information about check in 2 weeks before I arrive. In your instructions please let people know you will conact them with 24 hours. More cooking utensils would be nice, skillets, measuring cups, mixing bowls, etc: better instructions with the tvs and the heat in the various rooms would be a plus. Communication between cleaning and maintenance could benefit both. Light bulbs needed to be replaced, dishwasher did not drain properly, outlet plates were broken and needed to be replaced. Other than what was mentioned above the house was great for our family.
