Superhost Shannon’s retreat in the Rockies elevates the geodesic dome to an art form—and to 9,817 feet above sea level. Hike, bike, and fish nearby, or take a day trip to Breckenridge Ski Resort. With a backyard yurt and fenced-in dog run, it’s also a paradise for kids and canines. If you bring yours (either variety), just be prepared to promise a return visit. Photo: @thevistadome

This cabin on the edge of Routt National Forest might look secluded, but don’t expect total solitude—moose, elk, foxes, marmots, and countless hummingbirds are just a few of your neighbors. No one knows the surrounding wilderness better than your Superhosts (Deb, Eli, and Pat), so be sure to ask them about their favorite trails and hidden lakes. Photo: @gcalebjones

After a day of exploring the canyons and mesas of Colorado Monument National Park, give your feet a rest in Superhost Corey’s vintage RV. This riverside retreat may be secluded, but you’ll hardly be alone—don’t be surprised if a friendly alpaca or two stops by to check you out. If you feel like company of the two-legged variety, head into town for live local music at Palisade Brewing Company. ⁣ ⁣ Photo: @victoriamorse
