1. Stunning views of Pine Valley in restored cabin (from USD 142)
We could blabber on and on about the million-dollar views that each fantastic accommodation along Highway 285 can offer. Or you can simply scroll through the alluring photos that each host has proudly put up in his Airbnb rental posting. This beautiful cabin overlooks the Pine Valley, and you can lose yourself staring at the undulating mountain range in the distance. The accommodation is also wonderfully restored from a 1920s cabin, and has all the necessary home comforts to make your stay an unforgettable one.

4. Luxurious lodging for great comfort (from USD 252)
This is a luxurious lodging well-hidden along the creek that runs through Bailey. The huge premises can host up to eight guests, and there are plenty of plush beds and cozy leather sofas to enjoy. Amid the stylish modern decor, there is a classy-looking kitchen, a flat-screen TV, a soundbar, and a fireplace. Don’t just stay indoors though, as the cable-rail deck comes with a hot tub and a BBQ grill, practically inviting you to stay outdoors. While you are outside, check out the hiking trails along the creek that offer paths to explore the region.

5. Serenity and solitude in cabin studio (from USD 199)
No TV, no wifi, no heater, no kitchen. This petite cabin studio offers the ultimate rustic accommodation in a private estate near Bailey. A sign on the premises says “Phone off, sit quietly, restore soul”, and the studio is certainly ideal for those in search of serenity, solitude and perhaps some artistic inspiration. Spend your days hiking amid the many trails into the wilderness, or learn how to make wooden signs from the estate owner. Without urban distractions, you can follow your muse wherever it may take you to in the Rocky Mountains.

Aptly dubbed “The Refuge”, this is a single-bed guestroom in a mountain home that is nestled into natural rock-outcroppings. There are plenty of things to soothe your soul: you can relax in an outdoor hot tub, laze about among the two decks of the cabin, or just gaze across the expansive vistas that the surroundings offer. As the location is just about an hour’s drive from downtown Denver, this accommodation is perfect for business travelers who crave some peacefulness away from the urban hustle and bustle.

7. Simple cottage by a beautiful creek
Ah, a cottage by a creek - quite possibly the quintessential image of rural living. This gorgeous cottage house is located in Silver Plume, a small community similar to Bailey. It is close to the major Colorado ski resorts such as Loveland and Keystone. The host has set up a nice, little sitting area to enjoy the tranquility of the mountain stream, but other than that, the cottage is bare-bones with two beds, a kitchen, and a small bathroom. Still, that simply means you are compelled to go out and enjoy the fantastic Rocky Mountains outdoor life.

8. Sublime getaway with lots of outdoor fun
In addition to skiing, the Rocky Mountains offer plenty of possibilities for outdoor fun such as hiking, cycling, ice-skating on ponds during winter and even the quaint sport of disc golf (throwing frisbees along a golf course). All these activities are available near this serene mountain cabin close to Bailey, which offers accommodation for up to four guests. Impeccably decorated with shelves of books for your chill-out indoor moments, this is a sublime getaway spot to soak in the outstanding countryside that the Rockies can offer.

9. Gorgeous cabin with great views
Nestled along a quiet side road near Bailey, about 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometers) off Highway 285, this wooden cabin offers outstanding mountain views along with cozy comforts within its premises. Check out the ways you can enjoy the views: you can soak in an outdoor hot tub, chill out in the cabin’s courtyard which comes with a miniature waterfall and twinkle lights, or simply lie on the snug bed and stare out of the cabin’s huge windows. Don’t forget to look out for non-human neighbors paying a visit, such as bears, foxes, and deer.

10. Cabin near scenic spots and recreation areas
It goes without saying that it will be far more convenient if you have some kind of personal vehicle to reach these remote accommodations. So make full use of the vehicle to explore the region’s many recreation areas and scenic spots. You’ll be surprised at the diversity of activities the Rockies has to offer, such as concert venues like the Red Rocks Amphitheater and even motor-racing circuits like the Bandimere Speedway. This cozy cabin is nestled away from the main highway, and is within easy driving distances from scenic spots like Wellington Lake, Staunton State Park and Guanella Pass. So ditch the thought of using Uber to get to this location, and rent a decent vehicle to maximize your vacation stay.

Therapeutic stays away from the urban bustle
These remote but beautiful accommodations around the community of Bailey are excellent bases to explore the magnificent Rocky Mountains. They also offer quietude for guests who want to be far from human traffic. There is an old Colorado saying that states that the best prescription for illnesses is a stay amid the state’s countryside, and judging from the stunning vistas and serene atmospheres of these vacation rentals, there is definitely some therapeutic truth in that.
