Colorado earns its nickname, ‘Colourful Colorado’, from its diverse scenery. Deserts, snow-capped mountains, river canyons, and hip cities, Colorado has all of these, and each landscape is stunning in its own unique way. Make your own adventure, and find the best things to do in this beautiful American state. Here are some of the best Airbnbs in Colorado to give you every colour of the state’s palette.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

Contemporary city scene: Denver
Mile-High City likes its apartments lofty, industrial chic, and Pinterest-ready.
1. Two-storey listing with huge windows (from USD 350)
This Airbnb vacation rental in Denver is in the hippest area, River North. It’s quite an interesting one too: a converted industrial two-storey loft with bits of exposed brick ceiling to add character. It’s a place that’s probably great for hipsters. If you need a lot of events to make your vacation fun, you’re in luck. Yoga classes and live music are in abundance in the neighbourhood. You’ll also be a two-minute drive from The Source, one of Denver’s most trendsetting, sophisticated restaurants/markets. In the entertainment den, you’ll get a projector with a 96-inch (244-cm) screen so you can watch all your movies in a setting that reminds you of an indie cinema.

2. Family-friendly loft minutes from downtown (135 USD)
This Airbnb loft is a non-smoking unit that lets you bring along your family and furry friends. Despite only having one bedroom, it can sleep four as there is a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room. The host will not be on site to allow for maximum privacy and downtime with your loved ones, but there is a guest manual available as your guide around the city. It’s a cool place in an urban neighbourhood, Cole, which is minutes from downtown and River North. You’ll never have to worry about dining options here, as it is walking distance from coffee shops, a barbeque joint, neighbourhood bars, and an authentic Mexican restaurant.

3. A soulful, refurbished 50s school bus (from USD 65)
Whether you’re a fan of ‘The Magic School Bus’ or ‘Into the Wild’, stories of adventures in old vehicles and caravans have made a lasting impression on many of us. Enter one of the quaintest and best Airbnbs in the Colorado mountains; this refurbished old school bus has seen many exciting days and is rather affectionately named Elouisa. Today, it’s available as a vacation rental for weary hikers to the ever-so-near Mesa Verde, and to couples who want some time off the grid to rekindle romantic sparks. It’s a small space but it has everything you need, such as a kitchenette, a queen-sized bed, a wood-burning stove, and lots of private space for R&R. A full toilet and bath are available in a nearby building, and a compost toilet is available on the grounds of your bus camp.

4. Oso Verde studio (99 USD)
Nestled on the Marcos River with a stream right outside and a pond full of spring-fed trout is an Airbnb vacation rental that is sure to delight with its simple charms. From your patio and little seats around the golf course’s natural features, you are able to see the Mesa Verde Park in the distance. Homey and warm with its decor and amenities, this cheap cabin in Colorado for two gives you the impression of escape from busy modern life. But don’t be fooled; this place is only five minutes from Mancos’s downtown area, so you get enough seclusion to be recharged, but enough convenience to feel relief.

5. Slope-side vacation home
This picturesque Airbnb cabin in Colorado can sleep five in a type of ski resort vacation rental that you’d only ever see in holiday movies. The snow-capped Red and Smuggler Mountains and cable cars surround you from every angle. All this while you relax and dine in a well-equipped home with multiple entertainment options. Board games like Monopoly, Quiddler, and Apples to Apples, and many movies, are provided for you and your fellow vacationers. A recently upgraded tram can carry you up to the apartment if you’re not willing to lug your stuff up 80 steps. It’s a walk to town, and shuttle buses to Highlands, Snow Mass and Buttermilk are a short walk away from your Airbnb apartment.

6. Fancy, floral studio
Want to be surrounded by rich, detailed decor that even Marie Antoinette would approve of? Look no further than this opulent Airbnb studio, reminiscent of the excesses of an old aristocracy. The Mad Hatter chandelier illuminates your room with its quirkiness. It’s located in downtown Aspen, which is fitting as the area is known to be home to many a rich celebrity, and it is a place of million-dollar mountain views. Above everything, it’s an interesting place with a lot of character and surprises at every corner. You’d think only dolls would have this sort of room. Now you (and your pet) can experience it too.

7. Sunlight-soaked rooftop apartment
From the outside, it looks like any other classy vacation rental penthouse out there, but enter and you’ll find a unique and refreshing interior layout.

With its wide, airy windows, you have views of the majestic Flatirons, surrounding trails, and trees gracing your Airbnb holiday home.
