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.

This house is so cute and the host was very timely with all responses. The house had a nice outside space and lots of room inside to relax. The host thought of absolutely everything when stocking the house for our stay and the decorations were nice. The view of the park and mountains is spectacular and so close a drive to the Royal Gorge. I would stay here again.

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.

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.

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.

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!

**5 Stars – A Wonderful Stay at Royal Gorge Retreat**We recently spent 3 nights at the Royal Gorge Retreat and had an absolutely wonderful time. Our hosts, Mikel and Veronica, were warm and welcoming, and made our stay especially enjoyable.The property itself is beautiful — the landscaping and outdoor spaces are thoughtfully maintained and perfect for relaxing. We especially loved enjoying our morning coffee on the deck, soaking in the peaceful surroundings.Inside, the home is just as lovely — if not even better. Every detail was clean, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot to unwind after exploring the area.We highly recommend this property to any small group visiting the region. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely be staying here again.Thank you, Veronica and Mikel, for a wonderful stay and sharing your property with us!

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.

We had a great stay - location is ideal for families, you can walk to the park and river, walk to dinner and shops. The house is stocked with everything you need and thoughtful touches. The bedroom is pretty tight if you’re sleeping 4 with the rollaway bed, but we made it work. The hosts were very accommodating and great communicators. We would definitely stay again!

Royal Gorge Retreat was perfect! My family of 3 enjoyed our stay, the park and splash pad across the street was very helpful for our toddler. The house was very nice and cozy, and had everything we needed to make breakfast & dinner. The owners put much thought and love into their home for guests to be comfortable. Loved it and will definitely be back someday.
