The Power Plant near historic Main St, Train Depot and Ark. River. Pet friendly!
Welcome traveler!
Come stay at the original Power Plant of Canon City, built in 1890. Enjoy the 13' ceilings, large windows with mountain views, and oversized kitchen with lots of space to create. King bed with large smart TV. Pass thru the main bedroom to Bunk Bed Room (also with Smart TV) - good for families and close friends. W/D. Walk in shower. Nice little patio out front.
The space
This place is so cool! Built in 1890, it's filled with character and history. We are located in the historic district - not in a traditional neighborhood. Slightly industrial with the train depot and Alta next door, but set back enough to provide privacy and exclusivity. It's fantastic for walkability to the town's historic Main Street (1.5 blocks) and the delightful Arkansas River walk trail (5 minute walk). About the same to the popular Royal Gorge Train ride.
The home feels like a loft with 13' ceilings and an open floor plan. There's bead board on the walls and ceiling. Main living are has huge wall mounted flat screen TV and leather couch. There's a vintage hifi stereo system with turn table and smart phone cable jack. Mid-century modern decor including tulip dining table and Eames type chairs. We also have a desk area.
The kitchen has been updated and expanded with lots of counter space for cooking or other projects. Fully furnished with pots and pans as well as spices and other essential equipment like coffee maker and water kettle. We've got nice knives and cutting boards.
The main bedroom features 4 windows and gets beautiful morning light. The king bed has a down comforter and organic cotton sheets. There's a huge flat screen smart TV. Knock off Eames lounger completes the space.
Pass through the main bedroom to the Bunk Bed room, featuring a queen bed on the bottom and a twin on the top. A third smart TV sits on the dresser. (You must walk through the main bedroom to get to the Bunk Room). See last photo for floor plan.
The bathroom has a walk in shower with excellent water pressure. We provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash as well as a hair dryer. Laundry is available.
Out front there's a great little patio deck with a couple of chairs and a few plants. And an ashtray.
You may park right outside the front door. Roll your luggage in. No steps.
Owner's private art studio and workshop located next door. Owner's do NOT live on site but are just a few minutes away. We self manage and take great pride in providing exceptional value and experience.
With just one bathroom and vintage plumbing, this is not a place for gathering other than registered guests. Please do not plan family reunions or cookouts. This will pose a problem. Thank you for understanding and respecting our property.

About the host
Hosted by EMILY FLOWERS
My husband and I love creating cool spaces to share with people. This is our 7th Airbnb. We sold the others and now we put all our energy into this place. I've been a realtor for 20 years and my husband spent the last 30 years working as a Prop Master in the film industry. We've both traveled a lot and stayed at a ton of vacation rentals. Tired of cheap furnishings and unoriginal art, we have mostly real furniture, real plants, and real art. We do our own housekeeping and resetting. We live 5 minutes from our vacation rental.
Why they chose this property
Canon City is a lovely small town in the high desert of Colorado. The historic Main St and Arkansas River are charming. Royal Gorge Railroad and Suspension Bridge are highlights. Nearby Florence is the antique capital of Colorado and a good stop off on your way to Desert Reef Hot Springs. Skip the crowds and come to Canon City!
What makes this property unique
Built in 1890, it was the original Power Plant of Canon City. The space feels like a loft with 13' ceilings. It's cool. Curated art and furniture, vintage cameras and radios. Turntable with records and good speakers.
We're in the historic district, not a traditional neighborhood. Flanked by the train and an Alta station, you're poised for walking over to Main St or down to the river walk trail. We're right off the 50 so it's super convenient for travelers passing through.
