We stayed 2 nights for a paddle boarding trip down the Colorado through Horseshoe bend with our dog and enjoyed our stay. The motel is relatively small with just a handful of rooms, but has a nice big property. We enjoyed walks from our room through the little paths behind the motel and around their greenhouses on site. Our room had a Western theme and while you shouldn’t expect room service or other mega-resort amenities, our room was clean and comfortable.

They have a tavern right next to the rooms where we were able to play a game of pool & have a couple drinks after paddle boarding. They don’t have food available but have a nice big community kitchen with a refrigerator,stove, kettle, ice maker, etc. It was very well-stocked. There are also two restaurants within a 10 minute drive.

It was quiet and peaceful with many international tourists in town visiting all the surrounding natural beauty. We would absolutely stay again. Kayak The Colorado was also able to accommodate our dog on their back haul taxi boat so we could take him with us on the river. (The other company we called first did not allow dogs on board.)

We’d definitely stay here again. The room & everything we used was immaculate & appeared to be new. There was no pet fee. When we checked in we were offered snacks, bottled water and even dog treats. A couple things to note from their pet policy: dogs are not allowed in the common areas (such as the lounge & pool), they’re not allowed on the furniture, and you’re not supposed to leave them alone in the room. The pet relief area was small but it got the job done & it was just outside the exit. If you’re looking for a clean comfortable place to stay with your pooch, this a great option. Nearby (a 12 minute drive away) is Quail Creek state park, which has a lake, where you can rent jet skis, boats, ATVs etc from Mad Moose or get paddle boards & kayaks from Dig paddlesports. Dig allows dogs on their equipment, so you could take your dog paddle boding.
