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.

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!
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.
We loved the house and the area.
Host Will was very helpful and easy going .
Great stay overall!!

Beautiful and comfortable home that the whole family can enjoy together. We absolutely loved staying here. The location is amazing and all of the personal touches that have been thought of for guests are truly special. Thank you!
We absolutely loved the property on top of the jeep tour business - loved how rustic it was. It made things super convenient for all the things we did while in Canon City! Cannot wait to come back - we will definitely look to stay here again!
We enjoyed our weekend get away so much, very comfortable accommodations and Mr. Will was a perfect host. We will refer to anyone coming to Canyon City Close to EVERYTHING wish we had time to do a Jeep Tour too
This was a great place to stay in Canon City. It’s a very quick drive to downtown and Skyline Drive is on the ridge right behind the house. Very clean and comfortable with nice outdoor spaces to enjoy. The on-site person I interacted with was really friendly and helpful. I stayed in the back bedroom so road noise was not an issue.
