Most visitors rent a car for their stay. Thanks to its sprawl, the easiest way to get around Denver is by driving. But it’s also important to have access to the mountains nearby, along with the scenic small towns they’re hiding.
The only catch is that you need to cover parking. Some hotels in the city offer free parking, while others have street parking available. But if you want to avoid the headache altogether, and avoid paying pricey room rates when you’ll spend most of your time outdoors, you might want to book an Airbnb or a VRBO in Denver.
If that’s the case, start your search here. These are some of the best private rentals on VRBO and Airbnb in Denver that come with easy parking.

You’re close to award-winning restaurants and lounges, along with the RiNo Arts District. It sleeps up to seven, including a twin sofa bed in a hallway nook.

Townhouse in a quiet neighborhood (LoHi)
Located in Lower Highlands (LoHi), near Lower Downtown (LoDo), you get a fabulous location with tons to do with this rental. It’s a stylish one-bedroom that’s newly renovated. There’s a fenced-in backyard for your pup, too, and all those little amenities that experienced Airbnb hosts know to include, from a French press to spotless cleanings. Just know that the garage is off-limits—you can find street parking easily in this area.
Budget-friendly guest suite (Arts District)
This new rental puts you right in the heart of the Arts District, which is one of Denver’s most historic and walkable areas. This rental is located in the guest suite of the host’s home. While there’s no full kitchen, the kitchenette should do for most basic meals. Just make sure to ask about parking—it looks like this is another street parking situation.
Minimalist guesthouse (LoHi)
Cozy, bright, and with a private garage, there’s a lot to love about this guesthouse. It has a private entrance and its own private outdoor area, meaning you won’t run into hosts. Aside from the solid setup, the location in LoHi is also one of the best in the city. It’s both walkable and close to major highways.
1-bedroom with a backyard (Speer)
This gorgeous brick home has everything you need for a seamless couple’s escape in Denver. There’s off-street parking out back, along with a small yard. The interior is bright and clean, and has extras like a working space, a Peloton bike, and a fully stocked kitchen. If you’ll be exploring Denver and the mountains, Speer is a solid in-between neighborhood.
Cozy home with workspace (Denver Highlands)
Escape the hustle of downtown Denver with this relaxing escape. You can walk to the LoHi neighborhood or relax on the back patio. The setup is otherwise simple, with a small bedroom and workspace. The rental also comes with a straightforward guide to the rental, meaning you don’t need to reach out to hosts if you have a question about wi-fi. There’s no private parking, but street parking is easy to find.
Resort-style condo (Union Station)
If you want to stay smack in the center of downtown Denver, Sentral Union Station is one of the best places to stay. There’s just a catch with this resort-style condo: You need to pay $30 a day for parking. Also, it’s a hotel—not a private rental. If those two factors sound doable, you’ll get to stay in a new, state-of-the-art building that has a saltwater heated pool, a courtyard with fire pits, and a rooftop lounge that’s open 24/7.
Awesome amenities (hot tub, game room, etc) (Arvada)
Arvada is a town that’s around ten miles northwest of Denver. If you’re okay staying outside of town, you’ll be rewarded handsomely at this Airbnb. It’s got unique OTT amenities that will make any stay a treat. There’s a standalone indoor sauna, a hot tub, and a garage that’s been refitted as a game room. Despite the trendy features, this is still a homely, cozy rental. It sleeps ten in a three-bedroom setup, which includes a sofa-bed mattress in the living room.
