About this property

Cabin 3 | Alpha Centauri - A-frame cabin with loft and full kitchen, sleeps six

Wake up to mountain views and wide-open Colorado sky at this charming A-frame cabin, just minutes from Royal Gorge and the Arkansas River Valley.

The loft bedroom with a queen bed feels like your own private treehouse. Downstairs, a second queen bed, full kitchen, and a living room with sofa bed give your group plenty of room to spread out. Heat and AC keep things comfortable no matter the season.

Spend your days exploring Royal Gorge Bridge, floating the Arkansas River, soaking at nearby hot springs, or just sitting outside watching the sunset paint the mountains. Come back to a quiet cabin on a real Colorado ranch — no traffic, no crowds, just space to breathe.

Sleeps up to 6. Perfect for families, couples, or a small group looking to get away from it all.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Loved staying here with my husband, two adult-ish age kids and my nephew. Fun location in a nice area for multiple RVs and cabins. We loved the A-frame cabin. Close to the Royal Gorge and Canon City. The toothpaste tablets were a hit too!

Such a cute place, and very accommodating! The house could have been a little cleaner but it wasn’t the end of the world! This trip was just my husband and I but I really wished my two small children were there with us because they would have loved being there!

About the host

Hosted by Barb

Host profile image
Observer Ranch is a 76-acre dark-sky retreat in Penrose, Colorado. We built it for stargazers, glampers, families, and anyone who needs to slow down for a few days. The whole team lives and works on property year-round, so when you check in, we're the ones meeting you at the gate. Hospitality here means the cabin's lit, coffee's on, and someone knows where Saturn is rising tonight. We're a small operation. We treat every booking like it matters.

Why they chose this property

Penrose sits in a sweet spot most travelers fly past. We're 45 minutes south of Colorado Springs, 30 minutes from Pueblo, and on the doorstep of the Royal Gorge, the Arkansas River, and some of the darkest measurable skies in Colorado. You can rock climb at Garden of the Gods in the morning, raft the Arkansas in the afternoon, and be back here under the Milky Way by nine. The land out here doesn't demand anything from you. It just lets you exhale.

What makes this property unique

We're a working learning center, not just a place to sleep. Our cabins are named for stars (Sirius, Vega, Polaris, Rigel) and our campers carry the planets. Guests get an indoor learning hall that fits 50, a Little Spark area for kids, a library, and on clear nights, a deck pointed straight at the sky. Pets welcome at Mars. Open year-round. Long stays encouraged. Show up curious. Leave with a constellation map and a new habit of looking up.
