Summary: I’ll be honest, I was skeptical booking this place. The only thing I knew about Cañon City was… prisons. But I was so wrong. The town is adorable, quiet, and felt completely safe. Everyone was friendly, and it has that easy small-town charm that instantly puts you at ease.Now, the house... the photos do not do it justice. You can tell a lot of love went into the remodel. Whoever decorated it deserves an award! It’s that perfect mix of cozy and elegant. I was worried it might feel cramped with my in-laws, but we had plenty of space to spread out and still feel like we each had our own corner to breathe.And the backyard… just wow. The patio is made from bricks stamped with “Royal Gorge,” which is such a cool touch. The fire pit area is perfect for hanging out, the water feature is super relaxing, and the hot tub... I honestly could’ve slept in it. (It’s also closer to the house than it looks in the photos.)The host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s also walking distance to a cute park and a bridge that crosses the Arkansas River into town and the train depot.Speaking of, do the train ride! You can grab the regular seats and just hang in the open car for the best views. We also did a Jeep tour across the Royal Gorge Bridge - totally worth it.This house gets a 20/10 from us. Every part of this trip was incredible, and nothing about Cañon City disappointed.
