Family Colorado Christmas

For the first time in many years our family chose this property to spend Christmas together. From the moment we walked in the home was perfect! Decorated for the holidays, we felt right at home. My children and grandchildren had such an incredible time! Spacious rooms and plenty of room for games, puzzles, cookie decoration and opening gifts. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals and a memorable Christmas dinner! 10/10 would recommend this property! Thank you for so many beautiful memories made in your beautiful home!

Wonderful Fall Oasis

This property is absolutely gorgeous! We had a great time soaking in the fall colors. It was conveniently close to Gunnison as well. We got to town a little early and were able to enjoy their homecoming parade. Janet was prompt and so nice in helping us check out this property as a potential wedding venue. :)

Perfect Property!

The property is beautiful and well maintained. We had 3 generations of family staying at the house and it fit our needs perfectly. Everyone had private space to relax and great spaces to entertain with the huge dining table, large porch, game room and bonfire area. The only thing I would change was the game room was extremely hot. Would be great to be able to open a window or door in there but we still enjoyed it and had a fantastic time. The views were beautiful!

The property is located in a beautiful spot, with a pond And creek running along the edge of the property. It was kind of warm during the day inside the house, but there were fans. The teens and young adults enjoyed the game room, basketball hoop, and pool table.

Perfect Spot on the Creek

My partner and I got married at this beautiful cabin on the creek. Janet and Mark's home was enchanting and quirky, exactly what we were looking for the celebrate each other and gather our closest family and friends. Janet was so patient with all of our questions leading up to our stay, and her daughter, Hunter, was so kind and gracious to us while we were on the property. Our family and friends had a wonderful time and truly felt at home in the cabin. The view, the sounds, the feel of the place made for a truly magical weekend. And their sweet horses were the cherry on top! I hope we can make it back to this beautiful place some day soon.

Summer vacay 2023

We had a great time staying in this home. Lots of room and the house and guest house kitchens are very well stocked. The kids loved the playset and pond (nothing was biting but the mosquitos). The only complaint from anyone was the heat. The guest house was really only good for sleeping because during the day it was unbearably hot even with the port a cooler running. The main house stayed cooler but would be nice to have some screens on the patio doors to get a breeze through.

Great spot for extended family gathering

Great home near Gunnison. We had a a wonderful time. The host was very responsive to questions we had about accommodations and when we couldn’t initially locate the pack n plays came over and dropped off an extra one to make sure we had everything. Great spot for an extended family get together - we really enjoyed having the extra guest house, the game room and made good use of the play set as well. Close enough to to Gunnison for easy access to everything the area has to offer. If we find ourself back in the area we will certainly look to stay here again.

Great Family Vacation

As Grandparents we enjoyed having our adult children and grandchildren (ages 4-14) under one (technically two) roof for a week. We enjoyed each others company and everyone still had a space of their own. The home was warm and comfy and full of things we could use. I highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Lucas

Host profile image
My wife and I built this home for our family especially so that we could enjoy a country home life style. We moved in with 2 children in 1997 added 2 more children and lived in the home until 2012 after that, we moved in to town to accommodate our very busy children’s sports and social life styles.
We loved the privacy we enjoyed and the beautiful views of the river, ponds and trees from our breakfast counter and the starry milky-way from the hot-tub. in addition, we also enjoyed the short distance to the small intimate town of Gunnison.

Why they chose this property

What is unique about this property is how well it can accommodate a large group gathering. It’s not fancy, it’s homey and it’s suited for making memories.
Also, because we prefer country living and the privacy this house affords us, we also enjoy that it is very close to Gunnison and it’s not completely isolated. It is conveniently located to all the things we love to do, including; fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, horseback riding, jeeping and much more. That is what makes this house an ideal place for anyone to enjoy as a country home getaway.
****During the slower seasons, it is possible that the main house will be rented to one party while the guest house is used by another.****

One last thing about Gunnison, if you don't all ready know-as the saying goes- 'It's Always Sunny in Gunny'

What makes this property unique

What makes this property so unique is that it has nearly everything one could want when they visit Gunnison. If they hunt, they can bring horse trailers and have a place for their horses to board on site. If they have an RV or 4 wheelers, there is plenty of private parking for that too and they can 4 wheel straight away to miles and miles of trails right from the house. If fishing is on their mind, there is a river fed pond and nearly a half mile of private river frontage with a confluence of 2 rivers near the back side of the property. The convenient location to 2 ski areas, a Victorian mining town, Blue Mesa reservoir, Black Canyon National Park, rafting, BLM land, mountain biking trails and so much more, makes this property an outdoor enthusiasts dream.
