As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
With so many incredible lodging options available across our beautiful state of Colorado — including luxury resorts, sleek hotels, affordable vacation rentals, and amazing bed and breakfasts — you might have a tough time deciding where to stay. Luckily, if you’re looking for a remote retreat far away from the hustle and bustle of Denver where you can relax your worries away and take a journey to another era at the same time, we know just the spot.
Nestled along a creek on a working Colorado horse ranch, this one-of-a-kind Airbnb was custom-built on an authentic, 130-year-old wagon frame. If you’ve ever wanted to try "glamping" — or glamorous camping — this is the ultimate retreat.
Just 35 minutes from downtown Denver, you’ll drive by pastures and pens full of horses as you make your way to DEKO Ranch and this stunning covered wagon.
Here, you will discover a beautifully-decorated, yet modest space, complete with an ultra-cozy queen-sized bed, cooktop, coffee pot, and battery-operated lights.
While you will find many of the comforts of home here, you should also be prepared for a getaway within the great outdoors. Bring extra blankets, bug spray, warm clothes, flashlights, drinking water, and anything else you might need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
An outdoor fire pit with firewood is found next to the creek, and a clean, portable toilet is located just a few steps from the wagon.
It is, however, important to keep in mind that this is a working horse ranch: you shouldn’t feed or touch the horses, but you are encouraged to say hello to Kirby, the fainting goat, and throw a ball for Elle, the ranch dog.
Ready to take a step back in time to an era when covered wagons where a major mode of transportation and get away from it all to truly relax? This unique Airbnb is just the place to do it!
