    What a wonderful location. Could not have been more relaxing. Accommodations were better than advertised. Staff at the Gorge were very helpful (and the food at the cafe was really good). Recommend going offseason. We had the whole canyon to ourselves, except for the deer we said hi to every morning out our front door.

    This was one of the best stays I have ever had. The views, the cabin, the access to the park. This is the perfect getaway. This felt like a home, a beautiful log cabin with everything you could need. Very clean and plenty of room

    The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook wonderful meals. Nice air fryer was an added touch. It was great that it was pet friendly. One of the most spectacular stays we have ever had. Cannot top the views. I have no words to describe the beauty. The place was super clean and beautiful. It had everything we needed and then some. Stay couldn't have been any better. We HIGHLY recommend.

    Enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen. Loved the peacefulness and ability to hike from the property. Got out of my comfort zone and experienced the bridge walk and gondola. Was super excited to see a ringtail! Appreciated the cleanliness.

    Rim of Royal Gorge home is amazing! We are an active family, and we could sit and look at the incredible view, out the windows and sitting in the chairs in the deck, all day long! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    This place is absolutely incredible. 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!

    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.

    Everything was amazing. The property is stunning! A minor hiccup at check-in and the host was immediately responsive and rectified it! We stay at a LOT of VRBOs and this one ranks up with the best! Communication, cleanliness, LOCATION - all perfect!

    Would definitely stay there again. 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.
