About this property
West Elk Wilderness Lodge
Hello! Welcome to the West Elk Wilderness Lodge. When we think of home, we think of a place of love, laughter, and good times. These walls hold a lot of special memories for us, unwinding after a day of adventures around Gunnison. For many decades now, many fond memories have been had with our family hunting and exploring in the nearby West Elk Wilderness, so this was a fitting name for the Lodge. Located on the west edge of town near the Gunnison River on a 1.5-acre lot, we often have deer and fox on the property and every once in a while, a black bear. They are a delight to watch and the sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous as well. The Lodge offers the feeling of being out of town while having all of the amenities and comforts of being in town. We are honored to open our doors to have you share in all that joy, and help you make some memories here of your own. So, when you come in, kick off your shoes and enjoy the wonderful heated floors throughout the home. On the main floor is the first bedroom featuring a queen bed, bunk beds and also a desk area, a bathroom with a steam shower, a living and entertaining space with a pool table and piano, a kitchen and dining area, a laundry room and a morning coffee room. Upstairs you will find another family room with futon bed and game area, the master suite with a king bed, walk-in closet and bathroom with shower, and two more bedrooms with queen beds and a family-friendly bathroom with double sinks and a shower/tub combo. This is the perfect home for your family and friends!
Sorry no long-term rentals (stays beyond 28 days), as we still like to come and enjoy the lodge ourselves. There is a long-term tenant above the detached garage. There are outside security cameras. NO PETS! This home is allergy-free with carpet throughout! Please do not rent if you need to bring your dog. The wood stove is not for guest use.

The lodge was great. Almost everything we needed was provided, such as cookware and utensils. When we couldn't find trash bags, the owner had someone drop off more ASAP as well as come fix the garbage disposal. Overall, very happy with our stay.
The house was in a great location - close to Gunnison, stores and restaurants, nearby hikes and outdoor activities - but in a quiet area of town. The house was well-stocked and spacious. Our group enjoyed the steam shower, multiple TVs, and radiant-floor heat. The general flow of the house allowed everyone to interact on the main floor at all times, and the pool table was a great added amenity. We would definitely return!
We loved everything about this place. The listing was very accurate and the location was great, close to everything and yet off the main roads so no noise, very peaceful. I come back to Gunnison almost every summer and will defiantly rent this VRBO again with my family.
The cabin was the perfect space for family during a family wedding weekend. It was close to everything. The cabin also was spacious enough for additional family to have a place to hang out and visit in between wedding events. Thanks to a crockpot provided in the kitchen- we were able to go out for a hike and return to homemade chili. The pool table provided hours of fun.
The host was more than helpful with questions or concerns that we had, the property was exactly as advertised. Will definitely be booking with them again.
My family had thanksgiving here and it was wonderful!
The kitchen was stocked with everything we could possibly need! We got about 2-3 feet of snow during our stay and the just was extremely responsive with getting a crew to plow us out! We loved the place and made so many memories:)
This property was excellent for our needs. The house was stocked with everything to make our stay cozy and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and a convenient distance to town. It was just what we were hoping for.
Weve stayed here before. We love this log cabin quaint atmosphere. Our family always has such a great time with good memories. The home is clean and the kitchen is big for a large family. Thank you!
This was a nice and cozy cabin right on the edge of Gunnison. There was plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed playing some pool and hanging out in the living room.
I brought my volleyball team for a sports camp, and it was a great experience. We enjoyed our time at the house, and it was everything we needed and more. Thank you for a great time!
We had a great time. The house was perfect. Property manager was very responsive when we checked in and found a small but manageable issue on check in.
The house was clean and well stocked. The kitchen has everything you would need. There are multiple spaces inside and out for everyone the gather. If we had another family event in Gunnison, we would definitely rent this house again.

Home was nice and roomy.. Only complaint would be the drive way was very muddy and walks were not shoveled upon arrival.
