Best Airbnb in Denver: 18 Great Options for Couples and Groups
One approach to ensure your stay in the city is memorable is to opt for a place to stay in one of the city’s best neighborhoods. We’ve spent a lot of time in Denver, and have stayed in some of the city’s top neighborhoods like LoDo, LoHi, and Berkeley Park.
We think those three locations, in addition to RiNo, the trendy bohemian zone, best suit being used as a base, so the below options are focused on those areas.
Cool Airbnbs in Denver for Couples
If you’re planning an escape for two people, here are eight great choices for your trip to Denver.
Historic Carriage House in Denver’s Oldest Neighborhood
This location must be among the best choices for an Airbnb stay in Denver! You will surely appreciate this historical carriage house accommodation situated just blocks from the charming River North Arts District area.
In the late 1800s it was a stable used to shelter horses, and today, it exudes character and distinctiveness, with revealed brick walls, repurposed wood and distressed furnishings.
In fact, the house is so unique it was featured in Architectural Digest online as Colorado’s most beautiful Airbnb!
Original elements skillfully combine with modern amenities. There’s a fully equipped kitchen where one can prepare and enjoy meals, and a living room furnished with a television, WiFi, leather sofa and a wall map of America created from vehicle license plates. The bedroom features windows facing the living room accompanied by quirky artwork and gas lamps adding atmosphere. The bathroom includes all necessary amenities and there’s even a shared space providing gym equipment, a private hot tub and patio.
The house provides free on-street parking, but if driving is not preferable, you’re within a brief walk of RiNo with its trendy restaurants, breweries and shops.
A Tiny Slice of Heaven
We are drawn to tiny homes, and we admire this tiny, intimate studio set within a shipping container (saved for our future Colorado excursions!).
We’ve truly stayed at one of this host’s amenities before – this one, which is adjacent to the listing we’re discussing – and strongly recommend both Sarsha’s places, and the area in Berkeley Park. It’s compact, stylish, and will make a great home foundation for exploring Denver.
The rental unit was compact – only 264 total square feet – but cozily nestled in the trendy Berkeley Park suburb of Denver, a prime location for families exploring the city. The neighborhood was within easy walking distance of Tennyson Street, considered one of Denver`s top areas for food enthusiasts, home to one of our favorite eateries in the city – Vital Root.
The studio itself, situated in the owner’s garden with a private entrance, is fully stocked with a queen bed, ensuite bathroom, smart TV and Wifi. There’s storage space for clothes, and a small but well-supplied kitchen from where you can serve takeout or prepare light snacks. After a day exploring Denver and its surroundings, you can return here to BBQ food on the private patio and unwind beneath twinkling lights as the sun descends.
If you’re arriving in Denver by car, you can also benefit from free parking on the premises.
Beautiful Bungalow Half Duplex LoHi/Sunnyside Area
You’ll enjoy staying in this trendy lodging in LoHi/Sunnyside, a lovely neighbourhood just across the river from the city center (it’s totally walkable).
We stayed in this neighborhood previously during our first journey to Denver, and find ourselves returning here whenever in town. It`s within an easy walk of around 50 outstanding dining establishments such as Root Down (thought to offer Denver`s best brunch), Acova (many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free selections), and Avanti Food & Beverage (a cool rooftop bar + food court).
Their drinking establishment, which is 15 minutes outside of downtown San Diego, is well worth stopping by for cider fans.
Decorated in muted tones with wood floors and stylish furnishings, you`ll feel right at home in this bungalow. The living space/kitchen is fully equipped with appliances like a stove, oven, and large refrigerator. The bedroom is bright and roomy with an ensuite bathroom.
There`s an outdoor patio with a bench where you can enjoy an evening glass of wine while taking in the LoHi scene, benefiting also from free on-site parking.
In our opinion, this is one of the coolest Airbnbs in Denver based on the fantastic setting and in-house amenities for couples.
King RiNo Private Yard
We are fond of this renovated row home in Denver’s trendy RiNo neighborhood. From here you can browse local markets, hang out at local breweries, and head to bars and restaurants such as Barcelona Wine Bar and Shake Shack.
The clean, stylishly decorated house has amenities catering to all – think separate air conditioning, king size bed with a Sealy iComfort mattress and a private yard for morning coffee and alfresco dining.
The open plan living room/kitchen has a loft-like feeling with exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, and a cozy sofa where you can curl up and watch movies. There’s wireless internet if you need to check in with friends and a well-equipped kitchen where you can create your own culinary masterpieces.
The property is impressive, but the highlight is the location. There’s free on-street parking if traveling by car but you probably won’t need it during your stay as Larimer Street and RiNo are moments away.
Modern Guesthouse With Garage & Parking – Walk to RiNo
You`ll be comfortable in this modern guest residence not quite two miles from downtown Denver. All the notable attractions and destinations are accessible by a light rail station within easy walking distance. You can stroll to City Park, home to the Denver Museum of Science and Nature and Denver Zoo, in approximately 20-25 minutes, and pubs, breweries and eateries of the RiNo area in 30 minutes
A private bedroom with a king bed ensures one can get a great night’s sleep, and if cooking is desired, there is a large kitchen equipped with everything needed for meal preparation. The attention to finer details in this guesthouse is unmatched with options like a coffee bar, pillow choices, private garage space, and a patio with a BBQ grill overlooking the park!
Jog Around Berkeley Lake from a Charming Craftsman Home
We are fans of this charming craftsman home dating waaaaay back to 1906. The beautiful house, painted in soft blue, has been renewed throughout, demonstrating a simultaneously modern-yet-vintage vibe.
It comfortably accommodates two people with one bedroom and one bathroom. It’s a compact location with garden space and a patio where you can sip morning coffee, grill dinner or bask in the sunshine. Which, incidentally, Denver experiences plenty of.
The living and dining area lets in lots of light and air decorated in cooler shades, with a double bed, fully equipped kitchen and cozy dining spot for two. There`s a complete bathroom where you can refresh after a day of sightseeing and free parking on the grounds. The property offers good WiFi if you plan to work during your stay, and air conditioning so you can stay warm in winter and cool in summer!
This home is near Berkeley Lake with its hiking and jogging trails, Lakeside Amusement Park, and Oriental Theater, a live music venue. There are excellent restaurants and cafes within walking distance too along Tennyson Street, involving Amethyst Coffee Lakeside, which is one of our preferred coffee shops in Denver.
Cozy Neighborhood Spot Close to Downtown
This home located at an address in the neighborhood exudes character, featuring wooden wall accents, warm decor, and stylish furnishings.
The space provides opportunities for cooking and food preparation in the kitchen, curling up with a good movie on the couch or relaxing in the purple clawfoot bathtub after exploring the city of Denver for the day! The bedroom is decorated in soothing blue shades – ideal for promoting deep rest, and those traveling by vehicle can find parking on the adjacent street.
The property itself is situated on a family-friendly street in Sunnyside, within walking distance of cafes, yoga studios, and Rocky Mountain Lake. For food lovers, there are several restaurants within a short walk, and you’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Highlands area, where you’ll discover all sorts of good food and drink options.
Tiny Denver – A Brand New Urban Experience
Tiny Denver is a compact home providing an urban living experience in the heart of the city. Positioned in the Villa Park neighborhood, just a few blocks from the RTD Light Rail, one can experience all that downtown Denver has to offer in just 10 minutes.
Though small, this modern tiny home is perfectly designed and eco-friendly! Only 200 square feet yet beautifully furnished with indoor/outdoor living, a queen bed, kitchen, workspace, patio, fire pit, hammock, grill and dining area.
The property owners have installed a composting toilet for environmental friendliness, wifi access is available, and dogs are permitted for an additional $25 cleaning charge per pet. Renting a vehicle in Denver will avoid dealing with street parking since free parking is offered on the premises.
Stylish Airbnbs in Denver for Groups or Families
If traveling to Denver with family or a group, here are some of our recommended accommodations with ample space for 4+ guests.
The Whittier Wonder – Close to Downtown and RiNo
You’ll absolutely enjoy this three bedroom home in Whittier close to downtown Denver and the RiNo neighborhood. Antique cameras and bicycles decorate bared brick walls, Edison lightbulb attributes hang from the ceiling and antique trains make the space unique.

Sit in the Peaceful Garden of the Chickadee Cottage in LoHi
This place is amazing! Tons of outdoor space to enjoy the 300 days of sun you’ll find in Denver.
The Chickadee Cottage is a vibrant two bedroom, one bathroom lodging in LoHi, and we think it is the ideal place to unwind and relax in Denver. This cottage focuses on combining indoor and outdoor living areas. One can hang out watching a movie in the living space on the L-shaped sofa, or gather around the fire feature with a glass of wine under the stars.
Indoors you have a full kitchen, equipped with everything necessary to prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner, and outdoors there’s a communal garden area with tables, chairs, BBQ and even a hot tub!
You’re sure to appreciate the relaxed atmosphere of Chickadee Cottage, and once you`re ready to branch out, you’ll find many local treasures in the nearby LoHi District worth investigating.
Modern LoHi Townhouse with Private Rooftop Deck
We’re pretty certain you’ll love this stylish modern LoHi Townhouse as much as we do – especially the rooftop deck with views of the Denver skyline. With three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, there’s ample space for family and friends vacationing together in Denver.
The living and dining area maintains an open layout, air conditioning allows temperature control during warmer months, and the bedrooms offer sufficient privacy thanks to their ample size.
You can enjoy the stunning perspectives of the city skyline from the rooftop deck as you savor your morning coffee, or benefit from the natural illumination streaming in through enormous windows as you feast on a hearty breakfast made in the modern full kitchen.
Fishtown is an area that’s north of Old City, and it’s currently home to an up-and-coming food and drink scene. It’s also a gentrification hotspot in Philadelphia, and the neighborhood is undergoing a major change, similar to the ones we’ve seen in places like Brooklyn (in New York City), the Mission District (in San Francisco), and Capitol Hill (in Seattle).
View Downtown from a Rooftop Hot Tub in This Custom Home
Three key words: Rooftop. Hot. Tub. We believe this beautiful custom home could be the place you’re searching for, especially if your group is six to eight. The house accommodates eight guests with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and its trendy design makes it perfect for style fans.
Within walking distance of the Light Rail, Highland Square, shops, brewhouses, delis and restaurants, it’s perfectly located for foodies and culture lovers.
You’ll have a full kitchen, elegant dining space, living room with smart TV, Netflix, and sound systems. There’s plenty to entertain both adults and children.
However, the highlight is the private outdoor hot tub on the terrace. Spend the evening outside with a glass of bubbly under the stars and unwind after a day of shopping and sightseeing in Denver.
Additionally, if work obligations require attention during your stay, internet access is provided on the property and free street parking is available should you rent a vehicle in Denver.

The living room boasts an indoor incinerator, guests will have climate control for those scorching summer days in Denver, and also cable programming and a balcony where one can appreciate morning espresso.

LoDo, essentially in downtown Denver, boasts over 20 art galleries, almost 100 restaurants, shops, cafes and clubs in close proximity, with Union Station and Museum of Contemporary Art Denver just a short distance away.
Artisan Loft in Historic Five Points with Rustic Red Bricks
This apartment in Five Points is an ideal home base for exploring Denver, and has ample exposed brickwork to satisfy even the most discerning urbanites. The spacious apartment with exposed brick walls has a sort of steampunk, artistic flair with wall-mounted television, industrial-style lighting and a full kitchen with breakfast bar.
The two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed, generously accommodate guests, as does the tub-equipped bathroom ideal for relaxing after adventures.

Light-filled Loft Style Living in the Ballpark District
This charming light-filled accommodation is near the South Platte River and parks with hiking and biking trails. It`s centrally located between the two best areas to stay in Denver– LoDo and RiNo. You can watch a Rockies game (that`s baseball, for those unsure) at Coors Field, visit a museum, or enjoy the bars, restaurants, and shops along the streets of RiNo and LoDo.
Magnificent perspectives will be offered from this loft, with floor-to-ceiling windows and sizable balcony.

The two bedrooms are perfect for two couples vacationing jointly or a family of three or four, plus there`s a adequately sized bathroom including soaking tub to refresh and reinvigorate after a day exploring.
I was fortunate enough to see green and hawksbill turtles, white-tipped reef sharks, eels, and an overwhelming amount of bright tropical fish.
