I recently had the most wonderful surprise weekend getaway, thanks to my husband, at this stunning mountain resort. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. Kevin(the GM) provided us with an incredible cabin right by the river and was there for us for every detail. The cabin was extraordinary spacious and beautifully designed, making it the perfect retreat. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Colorado River, we enjoyed a fantastic mix of activities-relaxing, fishing, and exploring the picturesque trails. This resort truly is a gem for anyone who loves fresh air, the great outdoors and fantastic service. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable mountain escape!

I just visited this resort to attend a wedding on site. Everything was awesome! I loved my Blue Spruce cabin! Adorable! The wedding site along the Colorado River was breathtaking! The bar & dance floor outside was so good and so fun! What an awesome space to hold a wedding. I'm also incredibly grateful to the staff for finding my wedding ring that I lost in all the commotion. They were honest and kind. I'm so so grateful! I love that it was a resort that felt remote but only a couple of miles away is an adorable downtown full of places to shop, eat and visit.

We had a riverfront rv spot. The view was amazing but the only downside was how small the spots are. It was very cramped and no room for even a picnic table. It was very cool to see the trains go by. My kids loved that. They do go during night but it didn’t wake any of my kids up. The location is great and the walking trail close by was nice.

We booked a quick stay here following our fall train ride from Denver to Glenwood Springs. The tiny homes are worth the experience, especially with kids but not for an extended stay obviously. The location was great, you’re one interstate exit away from Glenwood Springs and very close to the hanging lake trail. The accommodations were rustic and covered the essentials. We stayed in their basic tiny home, not the deluxe or the higher end tiny home since they had a wedding the weekend when we arrived. Highly recommended for booking several cabins for a large family gathering as your home base in Glenwood Springs!

We stayed in a Rustic Riverside cabin in September. The cabins are cute and clean, plenty of space for 2 adults and our kiddo. It was nice having electricity while “camping.” Cabin was directly on the Colorado River, and the leaves were changing - beautiful view! We saw lots of fly fishermen and whitewater rafters going by. The only downside of the location is the very noisy trains that pass by directly on the other side of the river at all hours of the day and night. The campground was quite busy and crowded on the weekend, but remarkably quiet at night (save for the trains). It felt very safe and family friendly. The bathrooms are a literal hike away, up a set of (well-lit) steep stairs, but clean and nicely maintained. Showers had hot water and great water pressure. Staff in the campground were friendly and helpful. The camp store closes early so plan ahead if you need to buy ice or firewood. The town of Glenwood Springs is one exit away on I-70 which made an easy commute to all of the activities we wanted to do. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Excellent place! We rented a riverfront tent site and had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly, the campground was clean, and the views were stunning. There’s a beautiful bike road with amazing scenery, plus the No Name hiking trail and plenty of other activities to enjoy. One unique detail is that we saw the train 🚂 passing by many times. At night it did wake us up a few times, which can be a little inconvenient, but it also adds a special charm to the experience. This was our second time here, and we’ll definitely be coming back for a third. Highly recommended!

What a lovely place! My husband and I stayed for several months for an extended work trip and it was the perfect cozy cabin to call home for our needs. It is such a beautiful location and always felt peaceful and natural. Kevin and Jessica were so kind and wonderful and always available when needed. The other sweet young lady working the office was also always a delight. Kevin and his maintenance team always kept the grounds clear and safe for traveling especially when it was snowing. 5 months flew by, but I can’t wait to recommend GCR to family and friends for a camping/cabin getaway! Hope we get to return again soon!

Great location with fishing and trails right there. Also rafting trips available on sight. Last time we stayed there anyway. Also bar with food real close , within walking distance from your cabin. Very pretty area and not far from Glenwood Springs. A little pricey but better than a hotel for sure. Folks are really nice to chat with also.

We love this resort!! The desk crew is so friendly and knowledgeable about the area!!! What we loved the most was the Defiance River raft trip!! There brochure is right on the desk & you get a discount coupon!! They come pick you up at the resort & drop you at the end!!! It was a fabulous rafting ride and we stopped at hot springs that you get in right next to the river!!! We stay in our motorhome while we are at the resort & have a spot to park 3 feet from the river!! Can’t beat it for relaxing & adventure!! This summer will be our second time staying here!!! 5 plus ⭐️!!!

Absolutely Stunning !! We stayed in RV waterfront RV site ! this is a must for any RV. The place is safe , clean , 1 exit (5 min) from town , walking path , free wifi that good speed. bike path. But the river and the train are just magical and worth every penny you spend. My only recommendation (if you can afford) and something I will do next , is rent 2 spaces. The spaces river front a snug, and if you want space for your stuff and simply privacy , get 2 spaces. Thank you for such a great place! S

We were guests at the resort for five (5) months. The cabins were very comfortable! We were allowed to have our dog with us! Lots a trails to walk and close to the Colorado River! Jessica Morgan was the manager on site often during our stay! Greeted you the minute the door to the office opened! Assisted with any of our needs! Great smile and pleasant demeanor! If what we needed was not immediately available, she made sure we did receive it as soon as she was able to provide for our request! Her husband Chris was also on site providing plowing for the driveway on days of accumulated snow, cleaning the driveway when needed and even shoveled/swept our deck after snow storms! Also provided occasional maintenance when needed! Chris is a very positive, upbeat young man! We appreciated all of their work to make our stay there “perfect”!! Steve and Victoria Johnson

Stayed there with a motor home and mountain bikes. Awesome place to start for trail riding along the Colorado river. They set us up for rafting and there was a bar and lots of places to sit and relax after a day of biking and hiking. Exit No Name, want to get back there soon.

I went to this business for a weekend trip with my girlfriend and I can confidently say it will be my go too spot from here on out when visiting that city for a quick getaway. I purchased the Luxury Suite option for myself and the girlfriend and was surprised by how amazing it was to have a tranquil view of the river, the huge space offered, and thr comfort of the bed. Being able to open the bedroom window and just hear the nice sound of the water just out my door. The destination being far enough away from the sounds of traffic and city life but close enough that if I wanted me and my girlfriend could easily make it to Glenwood Spring's downtown is just one of many benefits seen. In closing. Could you find cheaper options to stay? Yes, I saw a few. But would any of those places have the same value for your vacation as this location? Absolutely not. Enjoy your own stays here. :)

Apologies, I'm a little late writing this review but never the less this is a fantastic place to stay. We stayed here in July 2020 on our family road trip. The park was very nice.The staff was super friendly. The sites were large and spaced out nice.The bathrooms were kept clean. They had plenty to offer including a zip line across the river. They are also the home for Defiance Rafting (you need to do this, it is awesome). Taking a chain down to sit on the shore of the river and taking in the views was such a relaxing time. They had a three night minimum which we thought was a little excessive (thought 2 days would be enough, we were wrong). In the long run I wish we could have stayed longer. Being so close to town and the different attractions really made the location of the park that much better. Listening to the train rumble through the canyon was another plus. Only thing that could be an issue is the sewer drain hook-up is towards the from of the site. Needed 3 hoses connected together. This place will be added to our never ending places to stay. We were not disappointed and you will not be either. Check them out! We can't wait to return.

Where do I start. The pictures on web site are at best deceiving. The heater wouldn't turn on, after I got it to turn on it wouldn't turn off. The fully stocked kitchen is a joke. The pots and pans where all dirty, coated with dried food. Had to wash them before I could cook. My "FAVORITE" part of the stay was when I went to the office to inform them that there were MICE in the cabin. They informed us that mice were in ALL of the cabins, the could move us to another cabin or give us traps, because no exterminator could be there until spring. I had to buy containers for food to keep rodents out of them. A mouse actually crawled across our foot while we were in bed. Absolutely no maid service, no towels were ever offered. They did come to set mouse traps, with no bait. When we checked out they actually asked us if we cleaned the cabin. Don't waist you're money staying here unless you want to mice in everything
