Weekend Trip to The Views at Gateway

It was a beautiful spot, the cabin was nice. However, I was disappointed and left kind of at a disadvantage, because according to the description, there was supposed to be potable water on-site! There was not, There was also supposed to be electricity! There was not, did not see the bathroom pit either. The description indicated there would be a trundle bed, which there was, with one mattress on the upper part, no secondary mattress. The host was supposed to meet us on-site and never showed up. Luckily, we came prepared for some things. Had an air mattress to make up the difference. However, we shortered ourselves on water as we expected to have potable water on-site. Aside from the misrepresentation, it was a beautiful sight. And we did enjoy our stay.

We did a 2 day stay in cabin C8. We loved it! Very well built. AC was definitely a huge bonus for the summertime. Basecamp was very kind friendly with the nice pool, sandbox, outdoor games, perimeter walking trail, large grassy area & river access

1 night at Colorado river Airstream

Pat’s airstream was the PERFECT way to wrap up a multi-week roadtrip! We were greeted by our host, as well as several friendly dogs, alpacas, peacocks, goats, and several other friendly animals that are on the property. The airstream was perfectly situated on the Colorado River, well stocked, comfortable, and quiet. I’d highly recommend Pat’s airstream for an ideal glamping experience with wonderful hosts and animals.

Beautiful private camp space with super friendly and helpful host. Stayed one night on our way through to Utah and wish we could've spent another. Cabin was cozy with camp cooking amenities. There was even a telescope for stargazing. We got a great view of the full moon. Great place to stay for couples or small groups.

Weekend Trip to The Views at Gateway

I loved staying at this little spot - it was close to the river which my dogs absolutely loved! The views were gorgeous and sitting by the campfire watching the cliffs change color was therapy! We stayed inside the little hut on the property but I think next time I will pitch a tent to enjoy the breeze as the hut got warm at night! The property was very easy to find and get to. Would love to go back one day to get sometime off the grid.

3 nights at Camp Eddy

The best part was we could see the Arkansas river and mountains in the distance right outside our window. Camp Eddy is perfect for all groups and especially families coz we went with two kiddos: lots of things to do around the river like biking, playing in the sand close to the river, walking around the river. We went in March, and I am sure in the summer there's going to be more stuff to do like boating etc. The hosts were attentive and went out of their way to make our stay a great experience like bringing camp chairs to our airstream even though the protocol was for us to get those from the office. The airstream is cozy and had comfortable beds and adequate amenities to easily spend a week. Our favorite part was to light a campfire and gaze at the stars. Next time we're going to plan a week long trip!

The host Jody was great. Made sure I had what it needed. Beautiful views, right on the river, solid walls for cold fall nights. She made sure I had a heater. Did a ton of fishing and exploring. Felt like you had the entire canyon to yourself. Loved it... so did my pup. Thanks!
