Beautiful Cabin

We really liked the cleanliness of the cabin and our stay was so easy because of the communication from the wonderful host. The location was awesome as well we walked to get on the train and the park was so beautiful across the street. The river was so relaxing to walk by from the cabin as well.

Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

Amazing place to stay! Super cozy location, our family loved the location’s proximity to the playground and train ride. Veronica and Mikel were very communicative and kind. Fantastic hosts. The property was very beautiful, clean, comfortable, and quickly felt like home. We especially appreciated how accommodating and considerate Veronica and Mikel were, even providing toys for our 3-year-old to play with. Highly recommend. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for the memories!

Great location, cute property

It was clean and comfortable and a short walk to the river and train boarding for the Royal Gorge train. Also walking distance to Downtown Cañon City. Overall very nice place and well cared for. One note, for two adults the bunk bed setup was not the most comfortable but it wasn't awful.

Cute little cabin

Cute little vintage cabin in Canyon City. Walking distance to river and historical downtown. Easy drives to white water rafting and Skyline Drive. Clean house, lots of yard. Had everything we needed for 2 night stay!

Working in Colorado

This place was awesome. I was in Colorado working and came upon this place. I am glad I chose to stay here. For the price, you can not beat it. Nice and cozy. Just across the road from an awesome park. I walked the park every morning and it was very relaxing. I strongly recommend anyone staying in the area consider staying here.

Wonderful dwelling

The park/duck pond was directly across the street and we had an awesome view of the mountains. The home was nice and we especially enjoyed the dining room. The yard was beautiful with a nice set up for enjoying the outdoors as well. Great location for heading to dinner or the mountains. I accidentally left my coat behind and the host got right back to me, and I was able to go pick it up. Would definitely book here again.

short Review

It worked perfectly for us and was very comfortable and was very well outfitted in the kitchen. Our only minor complaint would be the master bed with a bunk bed above. Kind of un unusual but it worked. communication with the hosts was fantastic so if you had any issue or question, you got an answer immediately.
