Great escape from the city

This is a fantastic property. The owner is very responsive. The caretakers which live next door are friendly and helpful. The cabin is rustic yet modern. I loved the exposed logs. The cabin's location right on the Gunnison River made for relaxing next to the river, playing in the water and fishing very convenient. I personally caught (and released) four very nice brown trout right next to the cabin. I shared this rental with my wife, 16 y.o. daughter, and my sister's family (incl. her husband, 1 y.o., 5 y.o. and 7 y.o.). We were able to fit everyone with a bed or mattress/cot on the floor. It never felt crowded because there are two great outdoor spaces to escape to and relax. The owner was very attentive to your requests, even going out and buying a portable play pen for the toddler for us when we inquired if they had one. Upon arrival, the hosts left a fruit basket on the counter for us to enjoy. If you like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment, spices, oils, etc. We prepared all our meals in the kitchen and on the grill. There is a great fire pit right next to the river and we had a fire and ate s'mores one night. It was simply a very relaxing, enjoyable weekend and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Delta is only a few miles away so access to grocery stores and restaurants is very convenient. Everything we needed was either in the house or readily available in town. We discovered a drive-in theater in Delta so we took advantage of that as well. It has been 30 years since the last time I went to a drive-in movie. My only word of caution would be to make sure you bring bug spray during the summer/fall to fend off the mosquitoes. It's a small price to pay for the stunning setting right next to the river.

Not Great…

My family stayed here for almost a full month, so I have a lot of thoughts but will try to be brief. Overall, there are definitely good things about this property but I would absolutely not stay here again. The cabin itself has a lot of potential but has a few quirks that made it overall unenjoyable. First, if the weather is hot outside then it will be very hot upstairs. There is A/C but vents are only downstairs! Upstairs rooms were 10-15 degrees hotter which made it hard for people to sleep upstairs every night. Second—and this is maybe the oddest thing I’ve seen in a rental home—the master bedroom has almost zero privacy. Instead of installing a normal door, there is a pantry-style bi-fold door with open slats. Not only that but it doesn’t even fit the doorway, such that it only closes halfway. Then the windows have only lacy curtains that can still be seen through. Essentially there’s no way to make it such that others can’t see straight into the master bedroom. A couple more minor things to point out: The upstairs bathroom only has a spray handle and not a real shower. People staying upstairs have to share the downstairs master bath to take showers. There’s no dishwasher so you’ll need to wash dishes by hand. The host was not very friendly or hospitable, which further detracted from our vacation experience. The good thing about this property, however, is the location and setting right on the Gunnison River. When you sit in the backyard it is peaceful and secluded. The fire pit is great and we enjoyed it many nights. Our kids had fun playing in the river and we also enjoyed fishing right there on the property.

There aren’t enough stars to give this home. Everything about it was top notch. Kitchen well stocked with pots, utensils, etc. beds super comfortable, plenty of towels. Home was spotless. We were on a fly fishing trip but rain run off made it tough. House is.close to Delta restaurants, Black Canyon, & Grand Mesa. Lots to do if you don’t fish. Would not hesitate to come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming cabin! It was very clean and comfortably furnished. And it was well stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen supplies to toiletries to extra blankets for the cozy bed. It even had a great selection of games; we waged many rounds of cutthroat Yahtzee and Sorry! under the lovely lights of the covered patio. The aspect that really made it hard for us to leave was the location. Yes, it had easy access to the highway for our trips to Colorado Nt’l Monument and Black Canyon. But it was the riverfront setting that utterly charmed us. It drew us outside every evening for peaceful relaxation as we admired the ever changing sky at twilight. Simply beautiful. And many thanks to property manager Liz who graciously and promptly responded whenever we had questions. If we return to this area in the future we will definitely want to stay here again!

Excellent stay with all the benefits of camping… fire pit, dark night sky, nature sounds, outdoor dining activities and games… but without the hassle and downsides. The cabin was spacious, clean, with comfortable beds, and A/C to keep cool. We enjoyed a tethered inner tube float on the river out back, fishing, and watching all the hummingbirds buzzing around. There are multiple areas for outdoor seating including a large covered patio to keep you dry. The location was convenient to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the Grand Mesa. We had yummy Third Bowl ice cream at a cute shop in Crawford called the Lucky Horseshoe and the kids enjoyed the swarm of sunflower seed seeking chipmunks at the Lands End observatory. Would definitely recommend this property!
