Planning a getaway to the awe-inspiring Royal Gorge Region of south-central Colorado? Excellent choice. This area is one of the most spectacular—and best-kept—secrets of the Mountain West.
But where should you stay? If you’re comparing Royal Gorge Cabins with local Airbnb options, we believe the difference is clear. Our cabins and glamping tents deliver more space, comfort, and convenience— here’s why they’re the smarter choice for your Colorado stay.
1. More Space for the Whole Family
Many Airbnbs can feel cramped, especially for families or groups. At Royal Gorge Cabins, you’ll find a range of spacious accommodations designed for comfort and connection.
Choose from our two-bedroom Double King Cabins or the five-bedroom Piñon House, which sleeps up to ten guests. Each offers multiple bedrooms, roomy living areas, and fully equipped kitchens, giving everyone privacy and plenty of space to relax. More room means less stress and more time to enjoy your Colorado getaway.
2. Family-Friendly Amenities and Entertainment
Our cabins are designed with families in mind, offering all the comforts of home in a stunning Colorado setting. Each unit includes flat-screen TVs, unlimited Wi-Fi, fireplaces, and private patios where you can unwind together and enjoy mountain views. The Piñon House adds even more with a full kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a BBQ grill, and a relaxing hot tub.
Shared spaces like decks and kitchens naturally bring families together. Whether you’re preparing meals, watching a movie, or stargazing by the fire, every moment becomes an opportunity to reconnect and make lasting memories.
Outdoor Activities
Step outside and the fun continues. Kids can explore open spaces, play yard games, or watch for wildlife while adults take in the scenery. With trails, picnic areas, and fresh mountain air right at your doorstep, family adventure is never far away.
3. Privacy, Safety, and Peace of Mind
Unlike many Airbnbs located near or within an owner’s home, Royal Gorge Cabins offers complete privacy and professional hospitality. Each cabin and glamping tent is a standalone retreat surrounded by peaceful foothills about eight miles from Cañon City.
You’ll enjoy the quiet of nature along with the assurance of clean, well-managed accommodations and responsive on-site support. It’s the perfect balance of independence and peace of mind.
4. Easy Access to Colorado Adventures
The mountain views from our cabins are just the beginning. Staying at Royal Gorge Cabins puts you right in the middle of Colorado’s adventure playground, with world-class outdoor recreation only minutes away.
Start with whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, one of the most celebrated rafting destinations in the country. Through our partners at Echo Canyon River Expeditions, guests can take on the family-friendly rapids of Bighorn Sheep Canyon or the thrilling whitewater of the Royal Gorge itself. Both are just minutes from your doorstep.
Prefer to stay on land? You’ll find scenic hiking and biking trails, rock-climbing routes, and off-road adventures nearby. The legendary Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, one of the highest suspension bridges in the world, is just a ten-minute drive away and offers breathtaking views of the canyon below.
No matter the season, Royal Gorge Cabins offers a front-row seat to the very best of Colorado adventure.
5. Exceptional Value Compared to Airbnb
