Pioneers Lafayette and Mary Miller settled in a region east of the Rocky Mountains that later became Lafayette, Colorado. Mary built the town after her husband passed away. With her six children, she led a prosperous life after finding a rich vein of coal. “Law-fee-et” is beloved to its inhabitants. The open lands and leisure parks attract travellers. In 2019, Lafayette became the first Bird City in the state and people look forward to Bird Migration Day in September. The city’s admirable attitude towards conservation makes Lafayette one of the best places to live in Colorado. It’s also a great place to spend time with the family. Make the trip and you’d find city parks, trails, wildlife preserves, museums, and a flea market or two.

1. Cozy detached studio adorning a colorful garden (from USD 62)
When is a converted garage the best place to stay for two travelers? Well, when it has a suitable bed with memory foam, a mini-kitchen, and a full bathroom. A small studio space with its own private entrance should be more than adequate if privacy is important to you. You’d be happy to know there are pretty flowers just outside the door and by the windowsill. And as you walk out for a bite at a local restaurant (no need to go very far), there’ll be fruit trees giving you shade. There’s a particularly cozy Airbnb listing with all the qualities of a perfectly adequate studio vacation rental in Lafayette. PS, There is no television in this converted garage. How great is that? You can finally escape the TV’s incessant chatter!

2. Unique guest house for a distinctive vacation (from USD 70)
Some people go to Lafayette to experience the local art scene. If you have artistic sensibilities, there are many interesting diversions in the area. Since you plan to take a tour of local antique shops and galleries, you might want to book this captivating studio above a garage. The guest house is private and comfortable. There are amenities provided by your host so that you’d want for nothing if you’d rather stay in. What makes this Airbnb space interesting are all the triangular shapes that define the room and make it unique. The apartment’s dimensions may be unconventional but it offers repose and is big enough to accommodate four guests.

5. Peaceful house with elegant touches (from USD 79)
This property was built in 1889. Elements from the period are evident in the interior’s exposed brick walls and hardwood floors. This Airbnb offers a renovated master suite with its own entrance and a kitchenette a serious home cook would appreciate. The bed is ample enough for a couple of adults and a child’s cot is available if you need one. The hosts would want to know in advance if you are bringing kids so that they can ensure their comfort and safety during your vacation in Lafayette.

6. Charming, fully furnished cottage (from USD 80)
A wooden fence marks the spot of what is perhaps the most charming cottage in Lafayette. They call it Little House. It is squeaky clean and oozing charm on all sides. This Airbnb listing is spacious enough for two. If you are a solo traveller then Little House should be the perfect vacation getaway that side of the Rocky Mountains. The post-war cottage was remodelled so that it is equipped with all the modern amenities you are looking for, but all the old charm is still there. Your hosts live in the main house yonder and Lafayette’s tourist destinations are just a pleasant walk or a short drive away. (Park your car right out front.)

Two bedrooms with additional sleeping facilities make for a comfortable respite after a long day of seeing the sights in the city. It could be a fun-filled day for everyone even as they choose to stay in. The townhouse has a movie selection for guests, a selection of board games, and an open playground right outside.
