Nicknamed the 'Mile High City', Denver sits exactly one mile above sea level (whatever that means) and is popular for its stunning natural beauty. The capital city of Colorado has a unique vibe that attracts people from across the globe and has a thriving arts and culture scene – world-class museums, impressive public art, and bright murals and street art, just to name a few. The famous Rocky Mountains can be seen from almost every part of the city and there’s plenty to do and explore in Denver including over 150 beer breweries – not bad considering the first building in the city was a saloon. Experience the city in all its culture by staying in one of these picturesque Airbnb cabins in Denver, Colorado.
