We got married this past weekend and could not have asked for a better setting. We stayed for a long weekend. Janet and Mark were very responsive before and during our stay. The property was beautiful and we had more than we needed. This property just made our wedding day more magical.

Everything was just as we expected from the property owners. They were very helpful and easy to contact with any questions we had. Looking forward to booking with them in the future.

We had a great time staying in this home. Lots of room and the house and guest house kitchens are very well stocked. The kids loved the playset and pond (nothing was biting but the mosquitos). The only complaint from anyone was the heat. The guest house was really only good for sleeping because during the day it was unbearably hot even with the port a cooler running. The main house stayed cooler but would be nice to have some screens on the patio doors to get a breeze through.

Great home near Gunnison. We had a a wonderful time. The host was very responsive to questions we had about accommodations and when we couldn’t initially locate the pack n plays came over and dropped off an extra one to make sure we had everything. Great spot for an extended family get together - we really enjoyed having the extra guest house, the game room and made good use of the play set as well. Close enough to to Gunnison for easy access to everything the area has to offer. If we find ourself back in the area we will certainly look to stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was comfortable and cozy. The grounds were beautiful. Plenty of space for the kids to play and it was fun for them to fish in the pond and flowing river. The adults enjoyed the pool table and ping ping table in the evening. Great place for a family trip!

My family rented this house as we were in town for our son’s college graduation. The house was great!!! A lot of sleeping options for all ages! There was a ton to do right here on the property: play set for kids, fire pit, game room, and we loved visiting the horses! Communication with the owners was FABULOUS! They were very prompt in getting back to us and helped with anything we needed!

As Grandparents we enjoyed having our adult children and grandchildren (ages 4-14) under one (technically two) roof for a week. We enjoyed each others company and everyone still had a space of their own. The home was warm and comfy and full of things we could use. I highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed.

The property had a lot of space for a large gathering which is hard to find. The owner was also very responsive when we had a couple of things that needed addressed. And we loved having the fire pit!

We came to Gunnison from Illinois for our wedding. Janet/Mark have a beautiful home with the perfect setting. You’re close enough to town, but also able to enjoy the outdoors. The kids loved the swim set and seeing the horses. The house is spacious and offered so much. We had our small reception at the property and it was beautiful. Thank you again for the beautiful home and making our special day the best day ever!

If you're looking for an ideal location to host a large group, that offers a ton of privacy and close to many outdoor activities, you will want to check this place out. If you don't want to travel far, there's endless miles of dirt road that can be quickly accessed from the property. Having two kitchens makes it possible to handle meals for a large group in timely fashion so you have time to actually do the things you want. The hosts are the type of people I would want to work with on a daily basis. The gorgeous property is conveniently located just off of Hwy 50, but the stream, trees and vegetation make it feel like your group is the only ones on the planet. All put together, this was the ideal location for our team xc camp.

House was perfect for family reunion and access to the Gunnison area
2.0
The house is big and good for large family/group vacations. The property is very pretty and the kids enjoyed seeing the horses. It was convenient to Blue Mesa and the Black Canyon. However, there were a couple of issues. The water had a foul Sulphur smell. We were not able to drink or cook with it, having to buy bottled water. The water smelled terrible when taking showers. We notified the owners who were quick to respond. They thought the issue was the water softener needing salt, which was added. However, after 4 days, the problem was not solved. The other issue was the apartment which is over the garage. In addition to the water issue, when we arrived, the windows were open and a fan was blowing hot air in. It was excessively hot. There portable air cooler in the bedroom must not have been used in awhile because it had stagnant water in it and was full of dust and mold. Between the heat and the water, members of our family who were staying there went to Holiday Inn. The owners did reimburse the hotel fees and $100 for bottled water, but it did put a damper on our stay. We opened the windows in the apartment at night and closed them and the blinds during the day in an effort to keep the temperature down, but the apartment does get warmer than the main house.

Great stay
The house was wonderful. It accommodated our large group of 15 easily. There was plenty of dining space as well as a fully stocked kitchen. Our young cousins enjoyed the playground while the adults played pool in the large game room. Thanks so much for a stay in Gunnison our family will always remember.

Amazing property for families
We had three families come to this great place and had a blast! The playset was loads of fun for the kids and the fire pit provided a great place to chat on our last evening. We will totally stay here again.

Wonderful retreat
Our family had a delightful time. The place was clean, with the biggest table I have ever seen. My family of 18 could fit around it! We enjoyed evenings around the campfire. Several gathering spaces. The hosts were very helpful. I highly recommend

Little Oasis!
This is a great place for large families to get together!! There were 17 of us and the 7 total bedrooms were perfect for us and we cooked most of our meals in the cabin. The kids loved the play set and all the men loved the pool table. This location is definitely not in the moments of Colorado like you might picture, but the pond and the trees made it so beautiful! Easy access to Gunnison, Monarch Pass, Crested Butte and a beautiful drive to Black Canyon of the Gunnison (a must do)! Only negative I’d say was to bring plenty of bug spray for the mosquitos and portable fans if you’re driving! Rustic living in a beautiful oasis! We’d come back for sure! Can’t find many places to accommodate so many people.

Our Gunnison Getaway
This home and the property was amazing! There were 14 of us and we had so much room to enjoy. The kids fished in the pond and loved the playset. The adults played cornhole and just enjoyed sitting and visiting and watching the kids.
Our only complaint was that the pool table room looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time, and we could not enjoy it at all. Other than that, everything was great!

What a beautiful house. We had a large family vacation and this house was perfect for our needs. Kitchen is fully stocked with large pots, pans, and serving dishes. Homeowners are quick to respond and fix any needs that came up. Location was spot on, only a short drive to town, but far enough out to enjoy the country views. We would stay here again and reccommed this place to anyone.

Every year we travel over toward Gunnison for a Birthday ATV and Dirtbike trip. Friends and family join us and this home was perfect for our group. The property is absolutely gorgeous and fall time with yellow leaves topped it off! We had plenty of room for multiple families, deck space a huge plus, amply space in yard for games,, plenty of parking (even a 40 ft RV with trailer). Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, serving platters, mixer etc. They left more than one roll of toilet paper and paper towels, plus! My only suggestion was to replace the carpet upstairs and fix a few windows and guess what, owner says that's happening Nov 2021! Yeah! We will be back!

We had our micro wedding outdoors here with the beautiful fall leaves surrounding us! Janet was amazing to work with in the months of planning leading up to our big weekend. She was quick to respond and very helpful getting us measurements and little things like adding a rail to the top bunk for my 3 yo niece. Everyone who stayed with us LOVED the entire weekend and our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect! Having all of our immediate family stay with us in one place gave us invaluable quality time with everyone. The house has a very homey feel and the game room was a hit for the groomsmen as they were getting ready for the wedding! If we have some family gatherings in the future we’d love to come back!

Such a beautiful property. Some of the best memories of the week were playing yard games by the pond and sitting around the fire pit each evening! For a couples trip I would consider this only a 5 bedroom. Two bedrooms had trundles that were supposed to convert to kings, but we couldn't find any king converters. So two couples had to sleep in twin beds and thought the mattresses were worn out. A few other small repairs are needed but the owner indicated they are working on some updates. We were impressed by the supplies at the house (coffee, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry detergent, towels, cooking items, spices etc.). Overall the property was spectacular and the large house worked for 15 adults. We would stay again!
