About this house rental
RELAX and feel instantly pampered in the region's most acclaimed property for five years running. Enjoy a peaceful morning coffee on a front porch rocker looking out to the charming historic neighborhood homes under a canopy of century-old trees. Take in a short stroll to explore nearby Centennial Park, the Arkansas River trails, and the quaint downtown historic district. This location is central to all activities in the region and makes a perfect home-base while visiting and exploring the Royal Gorge Region.
This expansive 1898 Victorian-era cottage underwent a meticulous 18 month top-to-bottom renovation specifically designed to provide a five-star experience. As with all of our "A Step Back Inn" properties, this house was re-imagined as a unique yet cozy elegant experience for our guests through a blend of modern unexpected conveniences and vintage charm, paying homage to the bygone era through carefully curated furnishings, décor and amenities. Noteworthy features include a breathtaking chef's kitchen, large, connected family and dining rooms, game room, cozy workspace with desk, four fashionably appointed bedrooms with luxury linens, and three full bathrooms with all-natural luxury bath products provided.
Smart Roku TVs throughout all bedrooms and the main room will keep you connected and entertained. Dramatic ambient lighting and integrated USB outlets add an unexpected yet delightful touch of convenience.
A falling waters custom fountain will entice you into a private backyard oasis with hot tub, dining/lounge area, vintage brick pavers, atmospheric lighting, firepit and gas grill.
NEW FOR 2024 - MULTIPLE ADJACENT PROPERTIES CAN ACCOMMODATE YOUR LARGE GROUP!
We are excited that we can now accommodate even larger groups in multiple, nearly adjacent homes, all operating under the trusted "A Step Back Inn" brand. With two additional historic renovated homes coming online in the spring and summer of 2024.
House 2 will sleep 12 people in five bedrooms over two levels (also designed with the first level to be wheelchair friendly)
House 3 will sleep 8 guests in three bedrooms and a sleeper sofa (also pet friendly), for a total accommodation of up to 28 guests between these three nearly adjacent homes. Perfect for your gatherings such as weddings or family get togethers/reunions. We work with many area event venues as well for further cohesive booking opportunities.

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.

Absolutely ideal. We are tall people with lots of big personalities and we didn’t know how we would work in this “Victorian era cottage”. It was perfect! I 100% recommend this or any of Kevin’s properties. His attention to detail is amazing. We had amazing gatherings around the big dining room table. Cooked yummy meals in his amazing kitchen. Took hot tubs in his pristine hot tub. Kevin had great advice for local food and activities for the time of year when you visit. Who KNEW Cañon City was such a great destination. We took the jeep tour with Colorado Jeep Tours and it was great. Good tour guide and bouncy fun AND dinosaur footprints . Enjoy !

We loved this property! The house was more than what we expected. The location was fantastic. We were able to walk everywhere. The owner went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He met us the night we got there and told us about the property and also shared places that we should visit while in Cañon City. We all loved the kitchen as there was plenty of room wall of us to hang out in it at the same time. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The outdoor area was private and beautiful. We highly recommend this property and would love to visit again!

The house was wonderful. Beautifully decorated, layout is great for guests, location was so convenient - just around the corner from the Royal Gorge Railroad station, lovely park close by, and quiet neighborhood. Kevin met us at the house to show us around when we arrived and was very helpful. Check out was super easy when we left. The only small “challenge” we had was figuring out the indoor lighting. It’s looks lovely but on timers and the switches were a little confusing but we figured it out. We would stay here again in a heartbeat
