Absolutely ideal. We are tall people with lots of big personalities and we didnât know how we would work in this âVictorian era cottageâ. It was perfect! I 100% recommend this or any of Kevinâs 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 âchallengeâ we had was figuring out the indoor lighting. Itâs 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
Kevin is a wonderful host of a stunningly restored property. The house had everything you could possibly want for making a celebration special. The beds are comfortable and the yard is a lovely space to relax in with a hot tub and bbq. The house is an easy walk to the Royal Gorge train and Main Street Cañon city.
This property in Canon City is at least what is described in vrbo if not better. It is in a sweet neighborhood close to downtown-very close to the train station.
The decorating is beautiful and it has absolutely everything you could ever need.
The owners have several properties around Canon City and I will definitely stay in their properties from now on when visiting. They are the best!!
This house is amazing! The home has been beautifully renovated and is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything needed to make a wonderful meal. The back yard is so relaxing with a water feature and a lovely sitting area with a fire table. The backyard also has a nice grill and table with an umbrella for enjoying meals outside. The lighting and ambiance in this house is spectacular!
Kevin is a great host and does everything to make your stay perfect! This property has our highest recommendation!
Great location, walkable to downtown. Home has been beautifully renovated with all modern conveniences and thoughtful touches. Will definitely be back!
This property is simply fantastic!!! Kevin spared no expense in his meticulous 18-month long total renovation of this 1898 Victorian home.
His eye for interior design is quite apparent in every tiny detail he has woven together to create the most exquisite and aesthetically pleasing home I've ever stepped foot in (and I'm an ex-real estate broker, so that's saying a LOT). He somehow managed to perfectly combine modern comforts (USBs by every bed and in multiple outlets throughout the home, automatic lighting, roku and spectrum, wifi, ring system, etc.) while also staying true to the time period of the home... you have to stay here to experience how incredible this property is! He really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, relaxing, and convenient!
Kevin was so friendly and fun- we loved that we got to hang out with him for a little bit at one point. 5***** STRONGLY RECOMMEND... you will not be disappointed!
This vintage & modern house 100% top notch. This property (house & backyard) suited us very well for a family (7 adults) birthday celebration trip. Host went above and beyond with all the details to make our stay comfortable.
This property is better than the pictures (which says a lot!) The decor and furniture was done very well and super comfortable. A fenced in back yard was great to unwind in after full days. We were very close to rafting, zip lining, hiking and food. Canon City is a great place full of history, natural beauty and activities.
This is the best VRBO house I've ever stayed in and we have stayed in several over the years. Host is 5 star. House is very clean and impeccably decorated. Contains everything you need from towels, to sheets, to shampoo/lotion, just bring your suitcase. House is in a quiet area and is walking distance to downtown area, park, hiking trails and more. Very comfortable in square footage size to accommodate our 7 adult family. Backyard with hot tub is a very relaxing area. Would recommend to anyone and already have.
Beautiful house, well appointed and loads of character!
We came down from Denver area to visit the Royal Gorge. With two small children we decided to make it a weekend since our Littles can really only handle one thing a day, having a kitchen to cook (as opposed to having to go out for every meal) was key. The beds were all very comfortable, the ac units in the upstairs rooms were key. We had coffee out back every morning and made smores out back at night. The hot tub made it feel like an oasis. The best part was the kids got a full weekend with their Nana and Auntie, and played games in the game room. The house had everything and we were truly able to relax and enjoy our weekend. Wishing we'd have made it a 3 day weekend. Kevin was a fantastic host as well - you can tell he cares about his properties, his town and his guests.
The home was beautifully staged and the lighting was incredible. The kitchen draws you in and then you have to decide to go out back and enjoy the peaceful setting with the water feature or stay inside and just take in the decor. The gas grill and gas fire table were great additions to allow us to entertain family. The home is close to everything, but yet far enough to not have the traffic or noise that comes with congestion. We were able to text the owner with questions that were answered immediately. You can tell they take great pride in their property and really cared about our experience! We will definitely stay here again if it is available next time we are in town!
My family visited Cañon City for a funeral and decided to all come together and stay in this house instead of separate hotel rooms. The pictures donât do this house justice! Itâs just stunning, top to bottom. Kevin greeted us at the house and gave us a tour. The house is decorated perfectly. No expense was spared. The sheets- so soft. Memory foam mattresses. Turkish bath towels and Beekman 1802 bath products in all bathrooms.
The kitchen is loaded with all the appliances youâll need, although I do recommend bringing plastic bags for food storage as we didnât find any food storage containers. The hot tub was delightful- but Iâd recommend bringing a swimsuit you donât love because my red swimsuit is now a delightful shade of coral (which I actually like!).
Bottom line- if youâre looking for a place thatâs close to everything and great for a group, this place is for you. Bravo Kevin!!
This place was beautifully finished and perfectly accommodating. Definitely one of the nicest places Iâve ever stayed! The host were great and bent over backwards to get us booked. I highly recommend this stay for couples or families and large groups as there are plenty of comfortable beds. The hot tub just topped everything else off.
A Step Back Inn is a very beautifully restored & decorated home, cozy and quaint, yet modern & roomy. Its layout and function is for modern life & family, with efficient use of space, and plenty of amenities. The kitchen, dining and sitting areas are perfect for family meals, fun games, reading, and relaxation. Backyard patio & table is great for an outdoor meal, with soothing sounds of the water fountain, or just a lazy afternoon nap after a white water rafting trip. Upstair bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and dormers invite you to an evening of relaxation. The chair couch at the landing invites you to just sit down and relax. The choice of hand soap, shampoo, lotion, soft towels, and linens are superb. The lightings sets the mood of each room. The tin ceiling and antique decoration reminds you the history of the house and its surrounding town. Kevin is a great host, who explained everything about the house to us clearly at checkin. Just as our family enjoyed our white water rafting trip very much, we enjoyed our time and stay at the A Step Back Inn, which allowed us a brief moment to step back in time, relax, and rejuvenate, before we head back to our hustle & bustle life at work and school. A Step Back Inn is definitely a great choice for us, we highly recommend it to anyone who visit Canon City.
