About this property

Skiers, kayakers, climbers, cyclists, relaxers wanted

A Peaceful 2 bedroom +loft house on a beautiful property with a large pond and a big yard. The house is located just north of Gunnison on the way to Crested Butte. We are 25 miles away from Crested Butte. We feel that we are in the middle of all of the great outdoor recreational activities. That is why we are here. We will be able to help you plan any outing. From kayaking to skiing, biking, climbing, or hiking we can be your base camp. This house is also perfect if you are just looking for a nice getaway or are coming up to cook your Western student a home-cooked meal. (Please leave your furry friends at home when staying at this property.)

Our stay in Gunnison, Colorado

We rented this house because of its location, only 2 miles into Gunnison. It also has a pond which was lovely. There were geese and ducks plus they have four goats and chickens. Our daughter and her three daughters were able to spend a couple nights with us. They loved it! They got to pet the goats, see the chickens up close so saw where the eggs were laid. There was one male goose, Dave the goose was friendly. Dave loved grandpa. Dave protected grandpa and let grandpa pick him up and would wrap his neck around grandpa’s neck. We would come back in a heart beat! Linens, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, dish and hand soap, plus a coffee maker, toaster and blender, came with the rental.

Wonderful Property!

The home is in a great location, on a small pond with lovely views of the mountains. It's a terrific place to enjoy both Gunnison and Crested Butte. The owners are terrific hosts who encouraged us to enjoy the baby goats, ducks and chickens on the property. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked. We're looking forward to coming back and staying longer next time!

Nice place to stay. Clean, quiet and equipped. Beds are a bit soft but each to his own. We initially had communication issues with the owner since his vm was full but got through about 30 minutes of arrival and got the code to the door. He called back to confirm we got in which was good. Very pleasant stay!

Great place to stay in Gunnision!

We loved staying here! It was super convenient to drive into Gunnison as it was only 3 minutes. It was right off the highway. Everything inside is dated but it is functional and clean. They have a little pond that ducks and swans go to, that my kids loved to watch. They have chickens and goats as well. It was a great place to stay at with small kids (ages 2 & 5).I highly recommend!

Lovely location, close to the river

A buddy and I stayed to do some fishing. The location was excellent, less than one mile from the boat ramp and a restaurant. The house is out of town enough but is still plenty close to get supplies, etc. We loved the grounds. The pond is beautiful, and the birds and goats around were very nice. The owners are on the land in a different house, and were very helpful throughout. The unit itself is not really updated, but is plenty comfortable. I look forward to taking my wife back to stay there sometime soon.

Quiet getaway!

This location is a gem! The house sits on a quiet lot with beautiful views from every direction. Close to town if you need supplies, and far enough away from town to feel like you are away from the busyness. The owner was very kind and friendly and generous! We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful escape to the past.

My husband and I needed to escape for a few days. This little cabin sits on a private lake with ducks. The driveway is shared with the owners who are friendly but non obtrusive. You are encouraged to recycle and there are well labeled recycle bins in the garage. The cabin decor is rustic and comfortable with a retro vibe that we found quite charming . We never ventured up the ladder to the third bedroom. The other parts of the house are fairly level with few steps. We were very happy with our few days here.

Gunnison fishing trip

This was our annual trip to fish the Gunnison area. House was perfect location for us to fish the area and has everything needed. Listing should probably do a better job of showing that a ladder is the way to access the loft and makes it difficult to get your stuff up there. You would need to be very careful with kids or anyone with any difficulties climbing a steep ladder. It was fine for me and only a minor inconvenience, but could be a problem for many. Beds up stairs were firm and comfortable but my buddies said the main bedroom mattresses were not, too broke down. Overall very good and we would stay again. Decor is pretty dated but not an issue for us at all. We were there to fish and be comfortable.
