Pics don't do it justice. You are the ONLY house within the Royal Gorge. And the view is simply spectacular. There is TONS of space in the common area which was great for our group. The kitchen was fully stocked and beyond (loved the tea and coffee setup :). Probably the best communication and hospitality from any VRBO host I've ever had. Gail went out of her way to make sure our stay was memorable and the rangers that we worked with to get access to the house were so kind and accommodating. We can't wait to book again! ##### Katie H.

My only complaint was the lack of a communication channel to resolve questions regarding the property. One othe issue, the closets in the master bedroom(carpeted room) were locked and there was no place to hang clothes in this room. ##### Mitchell A. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haley S. 15 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful views, very special stay It was beautiful and spacious, one of the most special and unique stays. The fireplace is huge and really nice. The windows are amazing. Very impressed. A bonus that it is pet friendly and we could bring our dog along. This is actually owned by the Royal Gorge and the only property within the park - makes you feel like a VIP! You get free entrance into the park. Stayed here with my family for my husband's 30th birthday and enjoyed ziplining, via ferrata, the train, and more. Definitely reccommend. ##### Haley S. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth U. 7 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adult Sibling Vacay! We selected this lodge for our stay and were not disappointed. The views are fantastic, the wildlife was amazing, and the location could not be beat. Three siblings and spouses, total of six guests, staying for 5 days. We used the Lodge as our home base as we explored the area. It was everything we needed and more. The home was clean and comfortable. Could have used a few more kitchen items but we made it work just fine. I highly recommend this to all. ##### Beth U.
