About this property

Canyon city Royal Gorge/West Cliffe, Mt Views, internet/sauna, pet friendly,

Our rustic log cabin, nestled into a hillside at 8100 feet elevation, looks out across a valley at the spectacular 14,000-foot Sangre de Cristo mountain range, in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Located 35 minutes on well maintained gravel mountain roads from Canon City. New Kitchen renovation 2025.! Kicking back on the front deck, you have a panoramic view of mountains on three sides. And, sitting on a private 11-acre wooded lot, you have peace, quiet and seclusion – your nearest neighbor is 200 yards away.. The cozy great-room/kitchen area is the perfect place for family fun – a gas fireplace, comfy sofas around a game table, and a fully equipped kitchen. The three bedrooms sleep six comfortably, with space for 1more if you use the pull out cot, and sleeping bags in the rooms. We installed a new sauna and renovated our master bath. Just a few minutes away from the San Isabel national forest, you have access to Buffalo Peaks, Collegiate Peaks, Mount Massive, Sangre de Christo and Spanish peaks wilderness areas. Fantastic white-water rafting and tubing, or exciting fly-fishing await you on the Arkansas River, a 30-minute drive from the cabin. You can mountain bike right out the front door, cycling a few minutes down the road, or explore a fire road up the Wet Mountains for hours. If you are more of an ATV fan, this area of Colorado is loaded with some of the best trails with the most amazing views. During the hot summer months, you can swim or tube in the Arkansas River in Canon city. July, Aug, and Sept are great times to wade with the kids. Or, if you just want to sit in peace and quiet and enjoy a breath-taking view, this simple cabin is for you. Come and find your balance, re-charge your batteries, inspire your senses and sleep peacefully as a baby in this warm and sturdy cabin.

Great Weekend Getaway

We stayed here for a weekend family getaway. Great location, secluded, beautiful views and start gazing. We were met by deer out front our first morning, sadly they did not appear too fearful of people so letting our dog outside was a little tough. Overall a great place for any nature lover.

Great stay.

We go to Colorado every year. This year we couldn’t stay with my mom, because her new home wasn’t complete in time. We wanted something off the beaten path, and this fit the bill exactly. Beware though if you value cell service, but the WiFi helped alot. The owner was receptive to all of my questions. Overall it was a great stay. The view was amazing.

Relaxing and great view

Everything was as shown in the website. Cabin was very comfortable and relaxing. Kitchen and living room space was very nice to cook our own meals and sit and talk. Only issue was a dead mouse in the toilet one morning.

Family Getaway

This VRBO was nice. The cabin itself was clean and had all the necessities. Definately print the directions beforehand because service is spotty at best. The sauna was great & the owner was very nice and pretty responsive. It was not as secluded as I thought it would be as there are neighbor's close enough to hear. But for the most part it was a nice relaxing weekend with nice sights and wildlife.

Amazing cabin

I'm a born and raised Houstonian so we were fairly concerned about the lack of AC. Temperatures in Canon City were hitting 102 degrees but the temperatures were never a concern at the cabin. Even at the end of July we the temp was dropping into the 60's by the end of the day and we slept comfortably in this clean and spacious home. The living/dinning area was bigger than it looked in the pictures and was inviting and restful while the kitchen was supplied with everything needed. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also clean and comfortable. I was looking for a location that would be dark at night so we could enjoy the stars and this cabin fit the bill perfectly. We stayed up every night to enjoy the sunset and the night sky. The wildlife was certainly a bonus as well. We saw 3-4 deer within an hour of arriving and plenty of humming birds and rabbits as well. The cabin is a beautiful home in a beautiful location and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Family get away

Overall the property is fine-no air conditioning though so it was stuffy at night as the temps were in 90's. Could use some deep cleaning and updates. The owner/manager does not reply to questions very quickly via email--still waiting on reply about bringing a pet--we didn't because it says they are "considered" so we asked--no reply--no pet brought. Location is remote--it will take you every minute of the 45 it says it is from Canon city. I have dealt with home away many times and always a good experience - just a little disappointed from the lack of response. This was a short family vaca so we enjoyed spending time together anyway!!

Lacking and dirty

We stayed at this cabin in September. It was WAY off the beaten path on VERY rough roads. Going anywhere was a major production and because of the roads we had to be back before it got dark so our trips were limited. The refrigerator was broken and the property manager who lives at the end of the road could not be bothered to come up and do anything about it. His suggestion was he would bring a cooler and we could fill it with ice to store our food. There were rolling balls of dog hair behind the couch, mouse droppings in the pots and pans, the couch cushions had not been removed to clean underneath them in ages based on all that was under them. Dirty socks, food, etc. The carpeting was filthy and they put down so much powder to try and mask the smells that it was suffocating. Ripped screens, broken patio chairs, etc. There was no wifi signal or cell phone service. The HALF bath had a toilet in a room but the sink was in a box so it was not truly a half bath. The Games did not have all the pieces, the cards were not a full deck, I could go on and on. The price was right but you get what you pay for.

Mountain Getaway

My wife and I needed to get away for a weekend and found this place and booked it. The instructions were great but we really didn't use it. My wife put in the address in her phone while we were in town and GPS took us right to this place. Helpful Hint: Make sure you put in the address while you still have a good cell service. It was nice being away in the peacefulness of the mountains and forest with views that make this place worth while and the stars were spectacular. Overall, this place was exactly what we needed for our weekend trip.

Worth the drive

Family and I stayed here over the Memorial Weekend. I picked the location because it was near the Royal Gorge (a site we had tried to visit in 2013 when we were evacuated due to the fire) and because it had gorgeous views. The view was, indeed gorgeous and we enjoyed the remote location. It is a rustic cabin but had all the necessary Kitchen, Bath and Bed items. The beds were comfortable. I did, however, underestimate the drive from Canon City. There was approx 13 miles of dirt road with multiple switchbacks and drop offs without guardrails. The road was well maintained and for those accustomed to mountain roads not overly concerning. Just be sure to bring in everything you need (no quick trips to the grocery store) and allow 40-50 minutes to get down to Canon City. I would rent this cabin again but next time plan to spend the entire time in and near the cabin investigating the numerous trails off the road up.

Cozy Cabin

We immensely enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very peaceful. The cabin is well stocked with kitchen supplies for cooking and the new bathroom is lovely. We enjoyed watching the snow through the beautiful picture windows. We had a little difficulty getting the gas fireplace started, but the owner was quick to respond to our questions. I highly recommend traveling to the cabin in the winter months from Westcliffe instead of Canon City. Coming over the mountain can get a little scary when it’s icy.

Magical Christmas Stay

Stayed at this cabin with some family to enjoy the Christmas holiday together. I couldn't have been more pleased with the beautiful cabin full of amenities. We had a brief struggle lighting the fireplace, however, the property manager and the owner were incredibly responsive and helped us get it going. This is a must-stay for large families!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Reed

Host profile image
We are a family currently living on both sides of the Atlantic. We have lived in Boston, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Denver. But our favorite place in the world is the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountain range in southcentral Colorado. We are 'outdoor people' - love to hike with our dogs, take beautiful photos of nature, canoe on a lake or river, cross-country ski through a forest. And at the end of the day, take the time to cook a gourmet meal together and enjoy a nice glass of wine. We are also voracious readers and love board games.

Why they chose this property

The cabin was love at first sight. We are not Club Med or Hilton Hotel people. But we are nature/peace and quiet people. This rustic log cabin was barely visible from the road, hidden by pines, nestled into the side of a hill. It sits up higher than all of the other properties around it. With huge windows on three sides of the Great Room, you have commanding views of Locke Mountain/San Isabel National Forest and the Sangre de Cristos. We also value 'quiet' - living in, or near, a large city for most of our lives, it is nice to be in at a place where you actually hear nothing but the gentle breeze through the pinion pines, an occasion bird chirping, the braying of the neighbors donkey. Often, ou hear nothing at all. A car passes maybe once or twice an hour - and even then, it is 400 yards away, and down a hill. We chose this cabin as a perfect get-away for ourselves, never thinking that we would rent it out to others. The only reason we are not in Denver now enjoying our cabin is because of job opportunities abroad in Sweden. This cabin is perfect year-round (provided you have a good 4-wheel drive vehicle in the snowy months, or chains on your tires).

What makes this property unique

For nature-lovers, hunters and fly-fishermen on the Arkansas River (17 miles from the property) peaceful and majestic mountain views. Sauna, Relaxing , away from all noise, cooking and enjoying friends on the deck. Simple with no distractions, yet having everything you need - a full bath, fully equipped kitchen, well-appointed great room and three bedrooms. Because our 11 acres is fairly secluded, you can even enjoy skeet and target shooting on the Northeast corner of the property. We are only 500 yards across a valley from the San Isabel National forest. We are a 20 minute drive to the quaint town of Westcliffe with some great restaurants and great for art enthusiasts and shopping.
