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.

Quaint and wonderful neighborhood home
The host was very quick to respond to any questions or requests I made. The home was accurately described and more than sufficient to make our stay pleasant. The location of the home was right in the middle of town and close to everything, yet having a backyard the house felt like a welcoming home in a neighborhood...perfect. There was a wonderful hummingbird in the various trees and the home had a huge lyme tree...very great characteristics of a loved and well taken care of a neighborhood home. Impressively, the home was less than 2-3 minutes from the Royal Gorge train station so that made our adventure on the train ride even more convenient. The host, Billie, was very accommodating to our requests as well as initiated with me to make sure all was well. I felt very well welcomed and taken care of in the best way. Thank you Billie, and if you, family or friends are staying in Canyon city, I couldn't more highly recommend staying in this wonderful 2 bedroom 1 bath home. Thanks for allowing and caring for my brother and I to stay in your wonderful home.

Quick visit
This home had everything we needed for a short stay in the area. It was our first time in Canon City as we tried rafting, climbing and the train. We’ve stayed in many home/condo rentals through this service and others - and this one was well stocked for anyone wanting to do their own cooking. We ate out, but I noticed cooking spices, all the kitchen tools you’d need as well as plenty of dish soap, plastic storage bags, paper towels, etc. Weather was hot, but the swamp cooler did cool the home (note that it’s located in the entry room at opposite end from bedrooms - so I set up a fan to blow the cool air down the hall to reach that area). Great option for our family. The coded entry was so easy and convenient.

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!

Not as expected
Arrived on a warm day and home had no working ac/swamp cooler. Had to open windows which had several inadequate screens and let in MANY moths. Also opening windows exacerbated my allergies. House smelled of freshly sprayed pesticide. Rain over multiple days revealed a leak in the enclosed patio that wet the carpet. Old moldy coffee grounds were left in the coffee pot and unsanitary trash left in bathroom trash can. Great communication with owner on all this, as this was not the way the home was the first time we stayed here Dec 2022. Other than the above, great location, well appointed home.

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!!

Memories made
From the time of booking to after our stay, Billie, the owner, was amazing! Communication was timely and cordial. We decided to leave for Canon City a day early to beat the winter storm so needed the home a day earlier. Without a glitch, Billie was able to accommodate our need. The home is well stocked with everything we needed to prepare a family Christmas dinner and comfortably seated 7 at the dinner table. The front window gives you a beautiful view of Canon City and we were also blessed with a massive Mule Deer Buck (who I named Donner) that walked right in front of the home as the sun was setting behind the mountains. The location is within minutes of town and everything you need. Even had a DoorDash grocery delivery the day we arrived which was nice! I highly recommend staying here. This will be our go to on our next trip out! 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!

Cozy Getaway
The property was clean and well-managed, and the location in Cañon City can't be beaten! You are close to a few river trails, the train station, downtown Cañon City, and great food. The Royal Gorge and other adventures are a 20 - 30 minute drive, and you get great mountain views! The biggest draw of the house is the backyard space, which is fantastic and beautiful. There are apple trees set off against the fence, which almost guaranteed some excellent wildlife watching during our stay. The propane fire pit is a nice touch and was a great surprise!

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.

Nice house, great location!
We took our granddaughter on a Colorado adventure to celebrate her twelfth birthday and stayed in the Canyon House. Our host, Billie, thought of everything. Communication back and forth with her was effortless, she responded to my several questions immediately, check in info was easy and thorough. The house is located just above downtown Canyon City in a very quiet neighborhood at the top of the hill, maybe a half mile from the train station. We were greeted by two buck mule deer lounging in the backyard… that was a thrill for our granddaughter. The house itself was well appointed, think visiting your favorite aunt’s house! Fully stocked kitchen, although we didn’t cook, comfortable beds, and two TV’s. Leaving the 108* heat in Texas for a week was a treat, but finding a swamp cooler instead of central A/C was a shock… it needn’t have been. The cooler dropped the house temp down quickly, and kept the whole house comfortable as long as you leave the bedroom doors open. We were so happy with our stay, we’d be happy to recommend the Canyon House to anyone who needs a base to explore the Canyon City area.

Like home, but way better...it is in Canon City, Colorado!
We needed quiet and sweet relief from "adulting" and Billie, along with her cadre of friends, provided us just that space. The home is very well cared for and there are special touches everywhere that make you feel welcome and to relax, get comfy and enjoy! I loved watching the sun rise from the front porch, looking over the city during my morning stroll, and watching the deer and other critters from the patio in the shady backyard. We were in the area celebrating a few major milestones and visiting family. Billie's neighbor brought over greens from her harvest, which we served during dinner that night. Having such a lovely place to host dinner while watching two deer grazing in the backyard was priceless! When we had questions, all we had to do was text and Billie (or her property manager) and they were more than happy to help! I would live here if Billie would let me! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Awesome home with all amenities you could want
Great property!!! Very responsive owner. Location is fantastic, close to everything. You could walk just about anywhere you want to go. The house is super cute, decorated so nicely. The beds are so comfortable, extremely nice bedding and even good pillows. The kitchen has anything and everything you could want. It has a nice barbecue and everything is clean. Owner thought of a lot of nice extra touches. The sun room is such a great room to relax, read a book. The yard is massive if you want to sit out there too. It a very quiet neighborhood. The stars at night were amazing, so cool to look up and see so many stars than in the city. We will definitely stay here again. Also there is a lot to do here, we didn't have enough time to do everything so we need to come back. Royal Gorge is just an amazing place,. I highly recommend this property it's really great, you won't be disappointed.
