Here's what our guests have said.

Five furnished bedrooms (3 Queen Beds; 5 Twin Beds) accommodating 8 people comfortably; 3 bathrooms; laundry room with washer/dryer; cable television, high definition large screen television; and high-speed internet. There is plenty of room for two vehicles and all your gear in the over-sized two car garage.

Our home is your setting for a perfect vacation getaway on the water.

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.

Our true home away from home!
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!

Week of Fishing with Friends
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.

Home is Awesome
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.
