NOTE: We apologize but we cannot host families or groups of any kind associated with a wedding. Historically these stays have resulted in our home becoming a gathering point exceeding our maximum guest limit and disrupting the privacy of our neighborhood.
We're located just 3 minutes from the town of Gunnison as well as the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport. Just a few miles downstream the Gunnison River flows into Colorado’s largest body of water, known as Blue Mesa Reservoir where sight seeing, boating, sailing, and fishing abound. If you’re inclined for a game of golf you’ll be excited to know that we're actually surrounded by the Dos Rios golf course where the public is welcome.
Fishing – ESPN recently ranked the Gunnison River as 'the best overall freestone trout river in America'. The famous blue ribbon waters of the Gunnison River offer trophy Brown, Rainbow, and Cutthroat trout literally within 50 feet of the house. Within 30 minutes drive you can also be on the Taylor River, East River, Spring Creek, Lake Fork of the Gunnison, or Blue Mesa Reservoir. The possibilities are simply endless. Also, if you happen to stay with us in the September-November timeframe you can catch the Kokanee salmon in the river as they make their way upstream to the Roaring Judy hatchery. Picture yourself spending a day from dawn to dusk with great fishing, rafting, kayaking, hiking, skiing, exploring abandoned goldmines, or just relaxing on the deck and listening to the river.
Skiing – Just a short 30 minutes away is the picturesque town and resort of Crested Butte. Crested Butte features some of the finest snow skiing and snowboarding in the country. Crested Butte is not only known as the 'Last Great Colorado Ski Town' it offers an amazing shopping experience with its prominent Victorian architecture within the ever popular Crested Butte's national historic district. You'll pay a fraction of the cost with us, versus lodging in Crested Butte. In fact, this home would cost upwards of $800/night in Crested Butte.
Hiking and Biking Adventures - The Hartman Rocks, visible from the front yard, provides a high-desert (8,000 ft above sea level) riding/hiking adventure over a 6,000 acre basin. Diverse options include both miles of smooth, sage-lined single track to concentrated slick-rock technical sections. Trails are for bikers, runners, hikers and there are climbing/bouldering areas as well.
Jeff and Beth's home far exceeded our expectations. I've stayed in a couple VRBO's and they didn't portray the real home from the pictures, but our Gunnison River Lodge was exceptional! It was exactly like the pictures showed and absolutely every accommodation was thought through. Everyone of my family had their own space and all accommodations for my elderly mother for her safety as well. The home, the setting, the neighborhood was perfect. John, the he caretaker was amazing! He checked on us daily, ensured the driveway and sidewalk were shoveled and safe to walk. Throughout the entire process, Jeff, Beth and John promptly responded to any question I had. Their hospitality and home is impeccable and far exceeded our expectations. This home is hands down THE BEST. If you are looking for a home in Gunnison or near Crested Butte, stop looking and book!! I hope we can return soon!
Thank you so much for hosting our family in your home. It was the perfect place for our group and we will definitely stay here again. We loved it!
We have stayed at this property multiple times over the past decade. It has always exceeded our expectations. It is located right on the Gunnison river. The sound of the river while you were lax on. The back porch is not to be forgotten. The house itself is always well-maintained And easily fits large groups. The owner is easy to contact and always has superb recommendations. This is one of our favorite rental properties to visit.
This is the third time to stay at this property with 5-6 people. The home is very well kept, clean and just overall very comfortable. Layout of home is great for larger group needing separate bedrooms and baths. Location on golf course and Gunnison river is awesome. Jeff is the best host. Absolutely zero issues and a great time for all of us. Look forward to staying here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - weekend with friends and a much-needed getaway. This property has an amazing location on the river, well-equipped, close to town, and a quick car ride away from some beautiful hikes and fishing. The owners gave us an amazing rundown of things to do places to go and everything the house has to offer!
Clean house, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great communication with owners. Great stay at a beautiful place.
What a great location with fishing right on the river
Very nice facility - good proximity to Gunnison downtown. We weren’t aware the house was in a subdivision, a nice subdivision but still a subdivision. It was well equipped with most things you could need.
Beautiful home. Great for a larger group. Very clean. Not a single complaint from me. Thank you
This house felt just like being home! It is a beautiful home in an amazing location. It was wonderful being out of town, but still close enough to everything we needed. The home is beautiful inside and out. It was equipped with everything we needed. We are looking forward to coming back soon!
The property was amazing. The house was well stocked, and impeccable clean. Location was easy to find and the neighborhood was quite. Love the house. Would love to stay there again next year.
This beautiful home was perfect for our family stay in Gunnison for my son’s graduation. The house was well furnished and well stocked with everything we needed. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.
Very comfortable and clean! It was perfect for our family. Would have liked to spend more time here, but we were largely with the rest of the family at another residence.
This is a great house. Perfect for our family to spend time together celebrating my son graduating from Western Colorado University. The location was exceptional and so relaxing Everything about the house was as expected and more. The space was amazing for enjoying meals together and playing games. The pool table was definitely a hit. We saw a fox daily trotting through the backyard along the river. This property is well maintained and the surroundings are beautiful. Plan on staying again sometime. Thanks for sharing your house with us!
It was great. We rented it last year and it works well for our family.
The house was perfect for our group. The setting is beautiful and the space is comfortable for everyone. Highly recommended!
Our group had a great time and everything was as expected. The location is extraordinarily beautiful, and I would recommend it for anyone who would like a relaxing time in Gunnison.
Our stay was amazing. The location was perfect for our fishermen. Also, being so close to golf course was perfect. The house was unbelievable. We are already looking at dates for next year.
The owners are wonderful to communicate with- quick to respond and super friendly! The property is amazing- the house is more spacious than the pictures suggest, we were able to hangout together for meals and games/movies or spread out when we needed space! We enjoyed meals on the deck listening to the river and the birds. Would definitely come back !!
Jeff is passionate about the experience. It's clear he has gone above and beyond. Place was very clean, everything was in order. My family flew in from New Zealand to meet me here. They were stunned by how beautiful the surrounding Colorado area was. Caught and released some nice rainbow trout at the back of the house. Jeff left some recommendations on places to day trip. These were excellent. Plan to stay here again!
We have stayed at this property previously and our experiences have been above expectations. The property is well maintained with beautiful views of the Gunnison River. The property manager is very proactive in outreach making sure everything is to our liking. I have family in Gunnison and every two years we meet for a family reunion. This is our property of choice for those of us who are out of town guests. We are looking forward to our reunion in 2024.
