Dreaming up a vacation, some people crave head-to-toe relaxation. Others thirst for full-throttle adventure. Both ends of this spectrum, of course, represent the chance to bust out of the routine of everyday life and nine-to-five stress: either by blissing out by doing nothing, or filling one’s days with chockablock thrills. And, hey, you can always combine the two as well, balancing out the excitement with plenty of indulgent downtime.
At Royal Gorge Cabins, we’re proud to provide one of the most relaxing getaways in Colorado—and a truly spectacular setup for outdoor adventure! Set just outside the charming hub of Cañon City, we give our guests ready access to the staggering scenery, world-class outdoor recreation, and bone-deep serenity of the Royal Gorge Region.
Royal Gorge Cabins: The Perfect Accommodations for Outdoor Thrills & Hardcore R&R
Located about eight miles outside of the small, slow-paced, and beautifully situated town of Cañon City—Royal Gorge Cabins enfolds you in a magical setting. Here, the Southern Rocky Mountains ease down to the vast sweep of the Great Plains—although part of that “easing down,” mind you, takes the form of the mighty chasm of the celebrated Royal Gorge, an extraordinary landform that sees the Arkansas River churning some 1,250 feet below sheer walls that, in places, are a mere 40 to 50 feet across.
Our cabins and luxury glamping tents put the Royal Gorge Region—a scenic wonderland and outdoor playground—at your fingertips. When it comes to fun places to stay in Colorado, we (humbly) suggest you can’t do better!
Adventure in the Royal Gorge Region
From ziplining, mountain biking, and hiking to some of the best whitewater rafting in the country, Colorado’s Royal Gorge Region is an adventurer’s dream world—and everything cast against some genuinely glorious scenery spanning the high country of the Rockies down through the lovely foothills and out to the plains.
And enjoying a climate that’s relatively mild compared to much of the Rocky Mountain zone, the Royal Gorge Region tempts with outdoor recreation throughout the year. Rafting—as via our long-running partners, Echo Canyon River Expeditions—generally goes down in a late-spring-through-early-fall window, with prime river conditions in the early to mid-summer. But hiking, mountain biking, rock-climbing—there’s a lot you can do here just about any stretch of the calendar, thanks to abundant opportunities and that favorable “Banana Belt” setup.
Relaxing Getaways in Colorado With Royal Gorge Cabins
OK—but let’s say you’re more on the unwind end of the scale when it comes to your Colorado getaway. Well, we most certainly have you covered here at Royal Gorge Cabins!
Our spacious cabins and luxury tents—tailor-made for glamping in Colorado and decked out with amenities and extra-special features—deliver just the right amount of pampering, set as they are about eight miles outside of Cañon City: ensuring you even all the more quiet, amid the foothills of the Southern Rockies. Savor the view of sunrise glow—or the blaze of a sinking sun—against the rugged ramparts of the Sangre de Cristos from your private patio or the expansive windows of our cabins. Savor the crackle of the firepit—or kick back in a hammock during the (low-humidity) heat of summer.
From a laidback train ride aboard the Royal Gorge Railroad or a pleasant stroll over the mind-boggling Royal Gorge Bridge to toasting the Sangre de Cristo sunset with a glass of wine on your very own patio, we’re your portal to full-on R&R in one of the most dazzling regions in the American West (and, if you ask us, the world!).
