River House on the River

Completely remodeled in 2017, this two bedroom, one bath cabin is on the Gunnison River. The cabin is on 2.5 acres of riverfront property and across a footbridge that will take you to the Water Park (my balance isn't great and with no handrails, I do not use it). The Dos Rios Grill and Golf Course (open to the public) is a lovely .5 mile walk. A great spot for kayaking, trout fishing spot, and an excellent base camp for exploring the Gunnison valley. Located just miles from Hartman Rocks Rec area, Blue Mesa Reservoir, 2 miles from downtown Gunnison, Colorado, 1/2 mile from Dos Rios Golf Course and 30 miles from Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte. Enjoy skiing, rafting, fly fishing, and biking right out your front door! We are in the flight path, but it's Gunnison airport, not DIA. I think the planes are cool to watch when they do fly over.

This property is shared with The Aspen House. All hammocks, firepits, and picnic tables are there for the two homes to share. There is a lot of room, so play nice and enjoy this park-like atmosphere!

Throughly enjoyed our stay. Easy access to Crested Butte & Blue Mesa Reservoir. Enjoyed how well stocked the kitchen was as we ate in most meals. The provided board games were a hit with our kids. They even put up a small Christmas tree as we were there around the holidays! Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location!

We really enjoyed our stay at this special property. The location is unparalleled, right on the Gunnison river with tons of privacy. We enjoyed bonfires out by the river in the evening. And loved seeing the wild life everywhere foxes ducks deer you name it. This place is amazing I would really recommend it if you were thinking about staying in the area.

Perfect for staying right on the Gunnison River

If your goal is to stay right on the river without having to camp, this is the perfect place for you. There are planes that fly directly overhead but the place is so serene that the disturbance that the planes cause is easily overlooked. I highly recommend staying here.

Need more towels

It was a great house to stay in. It was very cozy and clean. Location was amazing. River behind the house was such an awesome touch. My only complaints were we couldn’t get the tv to work, and they didn’t give enough towels to use for more than one night. No one wants to wash towels daily on vacation. We did buy some towels and just left them at property for the next guest hopefully.

Very nice. Right on the river.

Great location. Open the bedroom windows and and fall fast asleep as the Gunnison river burbles by just 20 feet away. Wide frontage on the river provides excellent trout fishing right at your door. Hiking, museums and every wholesome outdoor activity imaginable are nearby. Enjoy!

Absolutely Beautiful - 5 STAR PLUS

Beautiful patio deck to enjoy overlooking the river. Great fishing within walking distance to the house. Secluded yet just a couple of miles from the town. Great location. Very comfortable and clean beds. Especially loved the comfortable living room with the large windows overlooking the river. Very nice. Would highly recommend staying here. We'll stay here again if our travels brings us back to Gunnison.

The River House with a spectacular view

We have stayed twice at the River House and have loved it both times. Being right by the river is spectacular. Every night we had a bonfire. You can walk to the City Park and swim in the river and tube down the mini rapid. The host is very helpful and quick to respond. We will be back again!

Sit back and relax

The River House is truly right on the river. The home has expansive windows that allow you to see the tall pine trees and beautiful clear river. If it were summer it would have been a perfect fly fishing spot.

Summer Family Trip

Absolutely loved our stay at this property! We loved being right on the river and so close to town. My daughter enjoyed the swing, hammock, and our nightly camp fires. We even caught a couple of small trout! We had a little mishap with the stove but it was resolved quickly. Would definitely recommend this property!

Go with flow along the Gunnison

Everything you need to kick back and relax. So easy to get to hiking, fishing and the water park. Downtown has great food options! Access to Crested Butte, Monarch and even Salida were great. Closure of the Hwy 50 Bridge over Blue Mesa didnt mess with the relaxation of the river and the comfort of the River House. THANK YOU Jenn for your flexibility and understanding.

Great place, great location!

The location of this property was great! Next to the river, rare privacy! The house was well equipped and had great views from the windows. Even if it rained, we didn’t feel closed in. Downtown Gunnison is 5 minutes away. All kinds of hiking and biking routes are close. Crested Butte is about 40 minutes away. It’s worth the drive to Crested Butte and Black Canyon of the Gunnison just to see the scenery along the way. Jenny Lain, the manager was great!

Fabulous

We stayed at this property the end of September and were able to see the beauty of the changing colors in the mountains. The River House was the perfect place as it gave us easy access to several passes that had amazing views. We came back after a day of exploring to the sound of a running water as we sat outside and enjoyed the mountain feed river that was in the back yard. It was a fabulous setting to read, relax and have a fire in the fire pit. I don't know when I've gone home this relaxed and refreshed. The only suggestion is a different door to the deck as it is only a storm door and the security is really lacking with this type of entrance. Otherwise, it had everything we needed.

OUTSTANDING!!

The king size bed had high quality, CLEAN, soft cotton sheets paIred with comfortable mattress, with a view of the river while you lay in bed. The kitchen was well stocked. The living room had a CLEAN, very comfortable sofa as well as a comfortable loveseat with matching large ottoman. The bathroom was also clean and the full size shower had great water pressure; vanity with plenty of counterspace. Bath towels were clean, no stains and of good quality. The keyless entry was superb..so easy! The location was OUTRAGEOUSLY GREAT! This house had a side and back deck and you could view the flowing river from eveywhere around the property as well as every window in the house. There were two, 5 to 10 feet long, foot bridges. One led from the parking area to the house and another to a wooded area that was part of a nearby park, which did not hinder our privacy. Last BUT not least, the property Manager, Jenny Lain was sooo nice and patient. We got a little lost and she guided us on the phone the last mile directly to the vrbo. Later on, as the hair blow dryer was MIA, she sent Mark, who was also, very pleasant and polite, over within an hour with a brand new blow dryer. She was always patient and pleasant with all emails, txts and phone conversations. We apprecaiated her so much...thanks for everything Jenny (and Mark)!! Now anyone can see why I highly recommend this gem in the woods by the river!
