About this property

Rustic lodge centrally located to all the Royal Gorge attractions

This rustic lodge is located on the iconic Colorado Jeep Tours property just West of Canon City on Hwy 50 in the heart of the Royal Gorge Region. Just a half a mile from the Royal Gorge bike and hike trail system that runs 22 miles mostly along the Arkansas River which happens to be the most rafted river in the United States. Historic downtown with local cuisine and shopping including the Historical Royal Gorge Route Railroad is all just minutes away. And the World famous Royal Gorge Bridge and Park turn off is just 6.5 miles down the road. You can’t beat the location as everything is within a 10 minute drive.

The space

The comfy lodge was remodeled, has new furniture, and is ready with all the amenities of home including a massive covered back patio great for cooking out and having dinner or just sitting back and reading a book. The private back patio has plenty of room to keep your recreational equipment secure and out of the elements, including a bike rack and towels to wipe down your bikes and kayaks. The front patio is a great place to enjoy morning coffee or an evening night cap while soaking in the great views of Fremont Peak sitting at the propane fire pit table. Each of the three bedrooms has a queen bed and ample room to unpack your belongings. The dining room and living room have large windows with views of Fremont Peak and the zen garden. The kitchen has a farm look with modern appliances including a microwave, dishwasher, and oven.

Guest access
Entire upper level, front & back patio, and garden area. Plenty of private off street parking.

Other things to note

Exterior Security Cameras are in place for your security. There are security cameras monitoring & recording the public business areas on the front and sides of the building, as well as the driveways for business security purposes. There is also a camera on the back patio as well as an elevated camera above the front steps.

The lodge is located above the Colorado Jeep Tours office but out of the way of business activities. During the summer months you may encounter other guests during business hours on the rest of the property.

During the summer months we will need to water the garden so you might see us out there or on the patios during the day.

Winter months may require snow removal, we will be over to clear the walkways.

Due to severe health conditions and allergies we do not allow pets inside the lodge.

Overall it was a good stay. The beds were comfortable overall. It was fairly quiet. It is right next to a highway so that could get a little noisy. It was a nice place to stay though.

Nice Place

We enjoyed our stay here. As it says in the listing, it is rustic, kind of cabin-ish but has everything that you need. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs. The beds were comfortable. We were thankful for the ceiling fans and air conditioning as it was very warm the weekend we stayed. We'd definitely stay here again.

Royal Gorge

Great location, plenty of room and the deck patio amenities were fantastic. I was a little worried that we would be sharing the property with other guests, but it's actually above a shop and there wasn't any interference. One of the best VRBO experiences I've had.

Better than described. Very private despite over tour office.

Perfect choice for stay in this area. Location: Close to town - but just outside. Hard to describe unless know what skyline drive is. Look on map. Less than ten minute drive to Royal Gorge, and an hour to Pikes Peak, Cripple Creek and other sites. Huge house. AC was great for summer, and I’m sure heat would be too. Comfortable open feeling, covered decks on each side of house, with wonderful furniture. Even an extra garden area. Everything thought out - with plenty of towels, blankets, detergent, TP, kitchen and dining ware, etc. Washer and dryer nice to have. Huge smart TV. Beds, linens excellent. We’ve stayed in over 100 vacation rentals in several countries. This was a last second rental I did not have time to research (needed something close to friends and not much left anyway) and thankfully ! it was amazing. I cannot imagine anything better. Also very excellent value on top of being so nice. We were only the second guests. The owners/hosts/manager were incredibly kind, and there for us if needed. We took a Jeep tour as well, which was the highlight of trip. The owner has been in business there for so long and makes it the best for sure. Make your trip easy and go for this place to stay, and way to book Royal Gorge visit also. We were just a couple, but this accommodates 6 easily. Even though one bathroom - it is nice with very high water pressure, huge tub, plenty of hot water, lots of towels…It is hard to tell what you are renting from photos…just imagine better than looks and you won’t be disappointed.

Canyon City Adventures

We had a wonderful time at Will’s VRBO. When booking a place, I was looking for a location that was outside the city but had ample space for our family. I was pleased to find this VRBO. It has 3 bedrooms that easily fit our family. Will and his wife were very responsive if we needed any assistance. I can’t thank them enough, they were wonderful hosts! We checked in on the 4th of July and we were able to watch the fireworks next door. It was amazing! I had asked Will about ATV rentals and he suggested Westcliffe Offroad - UTV Rentals. We spent our Saturday off-roading outside of Westcliffe, CO. It was beautiful! On Sunday, we went Whitewater rafting with Royal Gorge Rafting (ask for Wyatt). We did the full day rafting that included levels 2-4. It was the highlight of our trip. We ran out of time on this visit but we would like to check out the Colorado Jeep Tours.

Great place

Great place to stay! It's far enough away from town that you don't get the city noise, but close enough to run to the store if needed. Close proximity to Royal Gorge. Rooms were plenty big with comfortable queen beds, Great living space for a family, and a nice, stocked kitchen. And Will was great to work with!
