Lovely Cottage by the river

We enjoyed our time in your cottage. Watching the birds, the deer and the duck races (with actual ducks) in the river kept us busy and amused. We even had a visit from a bear. Would highly recommend your home to anyone looking for total peace and quiet.

Nice, Clean, perfect location, love decor

We were there for a week to fly fish hike and float. Our visit was wonderful. The cottage was perfect. We are planning a return trip next year. My only recommendation is to have a larger garbage container in the kitchen.

Sightseeing!

Quaint little house on the river.We had deer everyday to watch out the windows. The beds and the bathroom were small and a bit outdated. 4 adults would have been a tighter fit, but for the 2 of us, cozy! We'd stay here again!

Pleasant Lodging

The property was nice. The second bedroom was A little small but the accommodations were comfortable. The best part of the property is that is backs up to the river. There is a swing by the river which makes is very enjoyable and relaxing in the evenings.

We'd stay again

It was such a peaceful location with rain and deer viewings included. Being right on the water made it over the top. A cabin/lodge vibe with quaint and comfortable decor. Includes lots of kitchen cooking equipment, enough to cook for a family. Note no disposal in sink. If we ever find ourselves in Gunnison again, we'd stay here. The only drawback was the one bathroom did not have a fan/vent in it.

Stay

Property was adequate a few upgrade would be nice, such as a larger trash can in the kitchen and curtains or blinds in the living room. There’s a pull out bed next to a large window and it has no blinds or curtains that could be shut. A fan or window in the bathroom would have been nice.. a broom or shovel for the front porch to clean off snow. Overall,, it was a convent location and ok. Things I mentioned would have been a nice addition. Thank you for asking.

Just Almost Perfect ....

Beautiful, convenient place. My wife and I plus my adult daughter and her significant stayed very comfortably, cooked a few meals, had a blast. We spent most of our time out and about, but this was such a great place to come home to. My wife and I fly fished everyday (creeks and rivers between Gunnison and Crested Butte), and we had a nice comfortable back deck to drop our waders, rig up our rods, hang out, happy hour, watching the rafters, fishing guides, and eat dinners. Ducks, geese, deer shared our view. Saw them everyday. The only reason I say 'almost perfect' is because I was hoping we could wade out from the backyard and fish. At least while we were there the current was a little strong, water a little high, but so it goes with any river access. It was fun enough to watch a couple boat anglers catch a couple right in front of us. Easy in, easy out. No traffic noise, peaceful.

The mattresses need updated. They were not comfortable. One was sunk in the middle, the other was very hard. The speakers on the tv in the bedroom barely work, even at full blast, and it only had dvd. We bought a dvd to watch. The kitchen utensils could be updated as well- no serving spoons. We have stayed here several times. The location is wonderful, the river is awesome. Because the beds were so uncomfortable, we may not be returning.

Relaxing by the River

Very comfy, peaceful place right on the Gunnison River.Great for 2 people. Town of Gunnison is nearby for supplies, groceries, restaurants. We got groceries at Natural Grocers and cooked in. Spent a lot of time out in the yard watching fishermen and rafters go by on the river.Spent a full day at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP, which was about 60 miles away. Very quiet neighborhood.Only visitor was a deer who came by while we were out in the yard reading! Contacted the owner with a few questions and she answered promptly. Enjoyed or stay!

My husband Steve and I have been coming to Gunnison for the past 35 years. This is home to my husband whom has been coming to Gunnison since he was 4 years old. He remembers the cabins along the river Before Blue Mesa Reservoir was created. We lived in Gunnison full time for 10 years! Now we have a part time home that we would love to share with YOU.

Why they chose this property

This property was the Historic Old Red Dolly (for you ol' timers) Located on the Gunnison River with some of the greatest fishing right out your back door. Put in a raft and enjoy the Gunnison River up close and personal. So close to Blue Mesa Reservoir, great boating!

What makes this property unique

This is a small private cottage on the Gunnison River with some of the best fishing in your backyard. If you like Lake fishing or Boating, our place is only 10 minutes to Blue Mesa Reservoir ! This home is cozy, quiet, yet close to everything the Gunnison Country has to offer.
