Unique 40 AC Horse Friendly Ranch Renovated 1850 Miners Cabin w/3000 SF Addition

Experience the Old West and the great outdoors at Wiley Spur Ranch! Located just 6 miles from Gunnison, Colorado and 20 miles from Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte you will enjoy the spectacular views of the Ohio Creek Valley. Photographing the wildflowers and wildlife, fly fishing, rafting, mountain biking, bring your horse and explore the BLM trails only a quarter mile away, 3 each 1 acre paddocks with plenty of grass to graze on, or hunters can trailer your horses just down the road to Ohio Creek Pass and pack in for hunting Elk. Enjoy the fall foliage or sit by the fire pit and star gaze, schedule your trip around the July 4th Holiday and go rodeoing! Crested Butte has a great fall film festival during the fall foliage. These are just a few activities in the nearby area. The original miners' cabin was built in 1851, renovated in 2010 and added onto in 2014. There are 2 living areas, 3 bedrooms plus a bunk room in the loft that will sleep 6, 4.5 bathrooms, a dogtrot style dining area, an outdoor cook shack fire pit and a whole lotta porch for watching the sunset over the mountains. We are less than a half mile from BLM property where you can explore on foot, horse back, 4 wheeler, or go hunt for Elk or Mule deer! Go ice skating, take in a hockey game at the ice center or visit the Gunnison Community Center and go swim or rock climb year around! You will not lack for something to do or see! Weddings not allowed per Gunnison County!

This is our third or fourth stay. We just keep coming back. It’s so quiet. So many different outside areas to enjoy the scenery, weather, horses, and peacefulness. The accommodations and kitchens are stocked with useful and functional items. Can’t ask for more.

Fantastic Stay

I host an annual fly fishing trip for a group of several friends and this year we stayed at the Hegener's wonderful home in Gunnison. Their magnificent home and its gorgeous view were exceed only by the Hegener's hospitality. Highly recommended without reservation.

We have stayed here twice and are planning to return next summer. It is the perfect set up for our family and the owners are wonderful to work with.

A great location and perfect vacation home that creates a very peaceful and relaxing experience. Plenty of space while still retaining a cozy and rustic feel. We were blessed with Christmas snow that finalized the postcard perfect views. Thank you!

Awesome Property!

This was our second stay at this awesome property. The property and residence are amazing. Great kitchen utensils, pans, cutlery, crock pot to the comfy bed and shower after a long day in the woods. Stan (owner) and Liz (property manager) are great to work with and super friendly. If you're looking for a comfortable house with a great location this is it!

Amazing Property in Gunnison!

This is an amazing property and the memories we created here will be cherished for a very long time to come. The house is perfectly complete with everything you need and is surrounded by stunning views. You get all the privacy you want, but are just 10 minutes from downtown Gunnison. We hope to be able to come back one day to relive it all over again!

Great Cabin

Stan (owner) and Elizabeth (property manager) were great and super accommodating. The house is impeccable and situated near everything we wanted to do. The sunsets over the mountains are a great not advertised bonus! If you're in the Gunnison/Crested Butte area this is your spot. :)
