About this property

Welcome to The CañonHouse, where your adventure begins!

Begin your journey by enjoying a homey stay in our quiet neighborhood overlooking the historic town of Canon City. Our home has 2 bedrooms with 1 double bed & 1 king bed, 1 bathroom with a walk in shower, a den, a living room with 2 couches, a full kitchen, and an enclosed sun room and outdoor patio with a large fenced yard. Don’t be surprised if you have a deer or two come and visit! You will love sitting in the enclosed sunroom enjoying the lush yard or reclining back watching tv or gathering around the table to play games with the family. It’s a wonderful place to escape to, hang out and catch up on a little R&R. But, if you’re looking for a little more fun, You are just minutes from downtown and all our town’s amenities. Canon City hosts many restaurants, breweries, wineries , grocery stores, Walmart and a movie theater. Old downtown offers many unique, one of a kind shops. We have several city parks for families to enjoy, one has a splash pad for water fun! The Royal Gorge, which is America’s highest suspension bridge, is 15 minutes away. The Royal Gorge train is minutes from the house and ushers you up the floor of the canyon. You can take a helicopter tour, raft down the Arkansas river, rent a Segway, ride the zip line or go to the dinosaur museum which are all local attractions. Our golf course is 15 minutes away. For the Antique lover, Florence is 15 minutes away and is filled with Antique stores and specialty shops. Colorado Springs is an hour drive and opens up all the attractions a big city has to offer. It is the home of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the Airforce Academy, the Olympic training center, the Broadmoor Hotel and much more. You can drive up Pikes Peak which is over 14,000 feet in elevation and ride the Cog railway at the top. For you skiers who love the snow Monarch Ski Area is about 90 minutes away. Cripple Creek is a gambling town and is a beautiful 1 hour drive. After your fun filled day of adventure, return back to the house to relax or just recharge for your next activity. There is NO smoking on our property and NO pets are allowed.

Spacious accommodations, and many nice amenities. The kitchen was truly fully stocked, which I appreciated. They even had resuable shopping bags, bicycles we could borrow, paper plates, and other conveniences. Easy access to the Gorge and the local activities. We saw deer in the front yard, and the area seemed safe. A great experience.

We had a wonderful stay a the Canon House. Our host went above and beyond by providing all of the things that made our stay more enjoyable. The little touches like providing extra trash bags, dish washing detergent, and laundry detergent were much appreciated. The house is fully equipped with all of necessary extra kitchen appliances. Our host also provided us with brochures and information that outlined local activities of interest. The Canon City house is located on a quiet street and we really appreciated having deer visit the yard nightly during our stay.

We loved our stay at The Cañon House! My husband and I met our two daughters and their families in Cañon City for a weeklong vacation. We stayed at The Cañon House, while they stayed at a VRBO in town, five minutes away. In the mornings, our son-in-law picked us up, bringing the older children with him. They enjoyed a ride on the bicycles each day. The last day, I put dinner in the crockpot to cook while we were away, and we ate on the patio that evening. Each day, we saw deer. The house was cute, homey, and comfortable. We did enjoy many of the attractions the area has to offer, including the shops in town, the Royal Gorge and the Royal Gorge Railroad, the Garden of the Gods, and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. The Cañon House added warmth and family time to our vacation. It truly transformed our stay from a touristy vacation to a family visit.

Such a great base to explore the Area

My husband and I stayed for 5 days and couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable, clean and pleasant stay! We loved exploring Canon City and the area around it, then going back to the house and kicking back! Billie was so quick to respond for everything we needed- thank you! We’ll be back!!

Overall, we had a lovely stay. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures, and on a quiet street. The only downside is the swamp cooler, which is located in a window at one end of the house. Instead of vents supplying cool air to each of the rooms, the swamp cooler sends air into one room. The cool air must then find its way to the rest of the house. This has two unfortunate results. It takes a long time for the farthest parts of the house (the bedrooms) to cool off. And the room that has the swamp cooler in it becomes noisy, windy and too cold for comfort when the swamp cooler is on.

Wonderful!

I booked this property for my husband who was out helping his parents move into a new place. He had nothing but wonderful things to stay about the property and location. Billie was an amazing host and graciously accommodated him by tacking on an extra day at the end of his stay due to travel delays getting there. She is very responsive and sincerely wants the best stay for her guests. We will definitely book this place again when visiting.

Awesome Place

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and 3 days. Had a great time! The pictures of the house o line does not do this place justice! All though they are good pictures, in person it is much better. Very homey, nice furniture, very comfy beds. Everything we needed was there. Billie was very nice. Back yard was amazing, had 2 deer there most of the time. We will definitely be keeping this on our list to visit again in this area. FIVE STARS AND VERY INEXPENSIVE FOR WHAT IT IS. BETTER THAN A HOTEL! THANK YOU BILLIE!

Great Location!

This was a very nice property. The location was convenient for activities, but exceptionally quiet. It was thoughtfully arranged and clean. So many VRBO's I've stayed at have nice "looking" furniture, but often broken down, worn and uncomfortable. Not this house! The owner was quick to answer questions for clarification. Truly, this place was like home. We normally go to Colorado Springs/Manitou Springs area, but decided to try Canon City this time. We love this area and it was nice to avoid a lot of crowds and busy-ness. If we come back to Canon City, this will be our "go-to" place!
