You’ll find this Airbnb just in the foothills beyond Denver, the perfect spot for a rustic getaway. A private bedroom featuring a queen bed and a private full bathroom and shower, you’ll be waking up to sweeping mountain views every day - even better if you take them in from the wraparound deck or the living room. Just as good for a vacation as it is for remote work, this Littleton spot is the perfect place for relaxation and inspiration - whichever you’re after. Just 25 minutes from the iconic Red Rocks, there’s so much in the nearby area for you to explore.

In the quiet neighborhood of Morrison, just outside Denver, you’ll find this gorgeous mountain retreat studio with its tasteful wood design. However, don’t let the exterior trick you into thinking this is just any old-fashioned cabin. Modern tastes fill this studio getaway, from the dining area to the bathroom. Instead of a TV, this Airbnb boasts board games and a restful setting for you to finally get through that neglected pile of books. Feel like stretching your legs? You’ll be just 15-20 minutes from the famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Evergreen Lake and countless hiking and biking trails.

Leaning more towards being a carriage house, this property promises all your home comforts and more in the historic neighbourhood of Speer. With its own separate entrance, the light and tasteful apartment sleeps up to three people. If you’re after somewhere to remotely work, there’s even a little desk for you to crack your knuckles and get on with it. Perhaps the most enticing feature of this holiday home is the breathtaking courtyard - completely with a pond and all manner of lush, sprawling foliage. When you need to relax, pop yourself on a lounger and simply recline.

Ideal for: Anyone looking to inject their holiday with a spot of opulence.

5. The relaxing mountainous one

Boasting three bedrooms and sleeping up to eight people, a stay in this Evergreen cabin-slash-mountain-home offers a completely unforgettable stay. Newly remodelled, this location is all about entertainment, relaxation and breathtaking views thanks to being high up on a hill and, you know, floor-to-ceiling windows. When you’re worn out from biking, fishing and exploring Red Rocks—or even from playing darts, shuffleboard or foosball in your own accommodation—slip into your very own, very new and very large hot tub to soak your muscles just right. Sure, you’ll be up in the mountains but you’ll have all your home comforts—and much more—to hand.

Ideal for: Families and groups

If you’re after a proper cabin holiday—as in, a return to the great outdoors with the bare minimum—this studio might be the one for you. Nestled in the woods just north of Denver, this quaint location awaits you. With beautiful wood architecture throughout, you’ll also find a sweet artist’s desk inside alongside some basic essentials—perfect for any broody writers in need of some inspiration for that pesky manuscript. We weren’t messing about the great outdoors - there’s no bathroom or shower, just the good old open woods. Thankfully, there’s a filtered water tank in the studio—enjoy the simple things indeed.

7. The light and airy one

Described by the hosts as a “beautiful mountain oasis”, this vacation home certainly won’t disappoint. A mountainside retreat originally built back in 1936 (thankfully, it definitely doesn’t look it thanks to renovations over the years), there are four bedrooms up for grabs, sleeping up to eight people, each with their own bright and unique styles. Thanks to this Airbnb backing up onto Mount Falcon Park, you’ll be privy to so much wildlife right by your door. If preserving the environment, no smoking and no fires (due to the area being heavily wooded) are light work for you, this home - just 20 miles from downtown Denver - might be the one for you.

Ideal for: Families and groups

8. The cosy one (with a chicken coop in tow)

After a classic, comfy cabin? Then look no further. Furnished with classic mountain decor with modern finishes, this relaxing space is perfect for a comfortable escape. Named ‘Coop Cabin’ for a reason, in the backyard, you’ll find eight lovely hens in the chicken coup - fresh eggs every day are yours for the taking if you feel like whipping up an omelette. Bask on the large outdoor deck - preferably with a drink in hand - for glorious sunrises and sunsets or to witness one of the large local elk herds ambling by. If you go in the colder months, warm yourself up in front of the stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove - an authentic cabin treat.

Ideal for: Families and small groups

It’s not every day you get a chance to stay on the side of Lookout Mountain - of American Civil War infamy - but thankfully, if you’re after a view that’ll make you swoon, you need look no further than this Airbnb. Your view extends across miles, allowing you to take in everything Denver has to offer. A studio-style space with a seperate entrance and all the classic amenities, you’ll never be far from the iconic historic streets of Golden or the rambling beauty of the mountains. When you’ve worn yourself out with your activities, retreat to your private deck to see out the sun for yet another day.

Ideal for: Solo travellers and couples

10. The pretty quirky cabin

While most of us a pretty familiar with the Rocky Mountains - the Rockies, if you will - this cabin getaway offers you the chance to get even closer. Tucked away in the midst of two private, forested acres, the cedar cabin is the perfect location for escaping the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. Think large windows, a roasting fireplace and a huge sun room for full-on basking. Wake up every morning to the smell of the forest, enjoy a cuppa on your bedroom’s balcony while spotting the local elk and deer. Quite the Rocky Mountain retreat.

Ideal for: Solo travellers and couples
