Amazing location! Just as described. I stayed here for a fishing trip and had a great time. Even caught a few Brown and Rainbow trout in the river right on the property! Thank you so much Karah and Bob!

Meticulously clean and neat. Plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. Plenty of parking. Beautifully crafted cabin with attention to detail. All the amenities of home. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood, just step into the large yard to immerse yourself in nature and hear the river flowing by. The yard is full of fun for the family with a swing, horseshoes, frisby golf thingy, furnished wooden teepee with electricity that kids would love or lovers would love to get away from the other guests for a little privacy or relax by the river. Definitely worth the money, if you’re not staying here while in Gunison then you’re missing out.

Excellent Getaway for Two

We spent a very delightful week and look forward to returning. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. The cabin design was well thought out and, while small (500 sq ft), it “felt much larger.” Important design features include a full-sized, fully-equipped kitchen, a full-sized bathroom (with tub-shower combination), a covered front porch with table and seating for two, and a large back deck with an adjacent patio that can accommodate several visitors. Inside, the owners included several important extra amenities: many more lights and electrical outlets than usually found in units like this; several outlets with USB charging capabilities; and high-speed internet access. The cabin location near the dead-end of the road resulted in a very quiet environment. Direct access from the back of the property to the Gunnison River was a real plus. Truly this is a five-star property.

Property is a beautiful quiet getaway just outside of town on the Gunnison River, in walking distance to Garlic Mikes. This was my second stay and it did not disappoint. Clean and modern appliances. A quiet retreat when I visit family.

Gunnison cottage

Beautifully constructed guest cottage, with great natural light, and views of gorgeous old cottonwoods out almost every window. The place was very clean and Karah is great to deal with if questions. So much incredible outdoor recreation in the area and the cottage is a wonderful place to return to. Looking forward to booking again.

Great spot!

This is the second time I've had a parent stay here and it was equally as well received as the last time. The property is spacious, cozy, clean and secluded, and really made my family feel like they were truly on vacation while still having access to their grandkids. Karah is a wonderful host and does a great job all around. This spot is highly recommended!

Perfection for “active” relaxing!

Hard to imagine a more comfy and cozy spot for what we had in mind (early Spring fly fishing and cycling)! Expertly designed, solidly built and tastefully appointed, Karah and Bob’s place was just what we needed to refresh and renew. Karah thought of everything. Can’t wait to go back!

Gus's cabin is a great property! Big yard with lots of room for dogs to run. Plus access to Gunnison River. Last but not least, the cabin is very nicely done. Everything that you would need with lots of extras which were greatly appreciated. 💐🍬 Thanks again Karah! P.S. The teepee in the backyard is adorable!

Fall Magic

We were in town for an event and had a wonderful stay at this property. The check-in process was so easy and smooth (the door was left open upon on arrival and a key was easily accessible via an outside lock box). We were welcomed with a sweet personalized chalkboard message and treat tray, complete with jerky treats for our dog. The property is absolutely beautiful and nestled along the river at the end of a quite county road. Our dog enjoyed endless hours of frisbee and fetch in the spacious yard, and we enjoyed exploring the whimsical tepee/cabin and other fun items throughout the property. The rental cabin itself was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Fall is a beautiful time to visit as the trees on the property were absolutely stunning. We can't wait to come back again!
