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!
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Guests will find features like internet access.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Resting and Relaxing
This was the second straight year my wife and I stayed at this property. It's quiet, lovely, but still close enough to town to be convenient to the grocery store, Walmart and all major highways. The grill was out of propane when we arrived but I called Jenny and had a new bottle on the grill within a few hours! Will definitely plan on staying again! **One problem though-for those who like to watch television, they have recently installed a ROKU stick for the television. The stick kept overheating and after about 25 minutes of watching, you would start to get warnings popping up on the television telling you the stick was overheating (and it was! It was hot to the touch!). To solve the problem, you had to turn the tv off and pull the stick out and let it cool down (which took 30+minutes) but then, around 25 minutes later, the stick started overheating again. It was hard to watch television. I finally came up with the idea of using a small fan that I had brought with me, putting it on the small shelf below the tv and aiming it right at the stick. This worked great! No overheating!

Travelled with family
Loved the fact that we were on the river bank - the sound of the rushing water was so soothing, and it was nice to sit around the campfire right at the water's edge! The house had all the amenities we needed, and it was clean and well maintained. Our only issue was that we ran out of propane for the grill on the very first night and did not have a replacement tank so we were not able to use the grill. My only other suggestion would be that there be a user's guide in the information booklet for the television. But thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come again!

We enjoyed the quiet spot on the river, campfires under star-lit skies, and relaxing with family. It was great to have both cabins so all of us could be close in comfortable surroundings.
