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.

A wonderful stay in this quiet, charming house. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our week long stay. The location was excellent (great views of the city) and we saw many deer on a daily basis - some in the driveway and on the bluff. We appreciated all this property had to offer and will stay here again.

These three days are an extension of the bigger trip. I was not ready to leave, and they had availability! So I stayed just a few days longer. Love the quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors - wave when they see you. The house was a comfortable and welcoming place to be after days of travel, visiting family, and exploring the area's treasures. Florence and all of its shops and restaurants, and The Pour House ( I love me some great coffee and the vibe). We will be back for a few weeks in September!

Absolutely LOVED our stay. The house is adorable, pics don’t do justice. Very peaceful atmosphere. Very well stocked kitchen, with all the amenities many rentals never have, even had ziplocks, Tupperware, and all kinds of spices. You can tell a lot of care and thought has gone into stocking the home. Master bed was extremely comfortable. Billie was such an awesome host. We will be back!
