Less than an hour from the world-famous winter wonderland of Aspen, you’ll find the quiet, scenic city of Glenwood Springs.

The mountain town is known for its world-class hot springs, which have made Glenwood Springs a stopover for wellness-seekers for generations. And they’re not small by any stretch—Glenwood Springs Resort is home to the world’s largest mineral soaking pool. You can also book steam treatments at locations around the area.
Hot springs aside, Glenwood Springs has plenty to do outdoors regardless of the season, from white water rafting to hiking to fly-fishing to snowmobiling. Best of all, it’s a more affordable alternative to the luxury, upscale amenities in Aspen. No, it’s not cheap—it’s got Colorado prices. The point is that Glenwood Springs is worth the slightly heftier price tags.

Airbnbs in Glenwood Springs, Colorado
1903 Victorian Home
This two-bedroom classic 1903 Victorian home sets you up right in the heart of Glenwood Springs. You’re just a short walk from the Frontier Historical Museum in the original town site, established in 1883. The home is warm, cozy, and has a spacious back patio where you can soak up the varied Colorado climate.
Victorian Charmer
This large Victorian home dates back to 1897, making it one of the older homes in town. But it’s got more than history for you to enjoy with its truly spacious three-bedroom layout. You can sleep seven guests using a pull-out sofa in the living room. Aside from its size and historic flair, this Airbnb also delivers on location. You’re in Glenwood Springs’ historic district close to its top attractions.
Spa House
If you’re okay swapping a central location for a truly boutique-feeling cabin, head to this spa-lover’s retreat. The two-bedroom home has a large yard with mountain views, along with an outdoor hot tub where you can soak it up. Next to the hot tub is a barrel sauna and a fire pit for added indulgence outdoors. As a perk, you’re only ten minutes from the popular No Name Trailhead.
Chic Retreat
Travelers heading to Glenwood Springs are usually after the great outdoors and fresh air, but if you also look for Airbnbs with high design, here’s your rental. This two-bedroom home has a bohemian, minimalist setup that feels chic and elegant. There are other fantastic features, too, like its central downtown location, large yard with a hot tub, and a two-car garage that you’ll have all to yourself.
Classic Downtown Cottage
Some travelers like modern design, while others prefer a classic cottage. If you belong to the former group, you’ll feel right at home with this wood-feature-heavy cottage. It’s a restored Craftsman cottage located close to the hot springs and Doc Holliday’s grave in downtown Glenwood Springs. Its front porch is picturesque, along with its grand living space. As an added perk, this cottage is huge, with four full-sized bedrooms that sleep eight.
Funston Suite
Many of the Airbnbs in Glenwood Springs have partial views of the mountains that surround the city. However, if you want full-on views, go with this two-bedroom condo. The large back balcony offers views of Red Mountain. It’s got a grill and dining setup that lets you maximize your time outdoors, whether for a morning coffee or a midnight feast. If you prefer modern builds, you’ll also enjoy the Funston Suite—it was built in 2022.
Kaiser House
I’ve got one more historic stay: the Kaiser House in downtown Glenwood Springs. If you’re on the hunt for homes with historic features and antiques, here’s your rental. The interior has a stellar balance between old features and new pieces, giving you a clean and classic décor. The large four-bedroom home is also spacious and has a front porch to die for. There’s even a fire pit with seating, perfect for a glass of wine in the evening.
Life is Grand
This three-bedroom rental is full of surprises. If you like striking and bold design, you’ll feel tickled by the mashup of colors in this home, located near Glenwood Springs’ popular Sayre Park. You can also sleep up to eleven guests in this home, although there aren’t any details on additional beds outside the bedrooms. Other amenities include a game room with foosball and air hockey, along with a hot tub in the backyard.
Hot Springs Haven
This three-bedroom home has all the bits and pieces that multi-generational families, especially those with young kids, look for. There are toys and books for kids, along with a triple-bunk room, a high chair, and even a stroller that you can use. There’s a backyard for running off added energy that has a grill setup. Lastly, you’re close to Glenwood’s famous hot springs at this West Glenwood Springs location.
Riverfront Magic
If you’ve got the budget, this three-bedroom home puts you right on the Roaring Fork River. It’s accessible via the backyard, which has its own boat ramp, fire pits (plural), and patio. The catch is that you’re about three miles from Glenwood Springs’ main drag, including its springs. As a perk, you’re even closer to Aspen/Snowmass, which is a forty-minute drive away.
