Stunning Vintage Victorian-Era Cottage - Walk to train/river/park/downtown.

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.
