Lovely Cottage by the river

We enjoyed our time in your cottage. Watching the birds, the deer and the duck races (with actual ducks) in the river kept us busy and amused. We even had a visit from a bear. Would highly recommend your home to anyone looking for total peace and quiet.

Cabin By The River

Being right next to the river and within minutes of town were definitely the best thing about this place. As constructive criticism I suggest replacing the mattress in the small bedroom and giving the bathroom a bit of love. I mean, everything was functional but some TLC would go a long way. Overall we enjoyed the stay and the rental provided us with a great point from which to explore the area.

Colorado vacation

Location was great, on Gunnison River. Deer walked by back deck every day. Bed was a little too firm for me, my husband said it was ok with him. Had to contact owner regarding how to get shower to turn on, they responded right away.

Beautiful view from deck of Gunnison River. House is clean, well-stocked, comfortable and has a great western theme which for a southerner was a hoot...up to and including the Cowboy Magic Rose Water Shampoo. Just a lovely place to spend a week.

This was our second time staying here. It was just as nice as the first time. My only gripe was that it wasnt quite as clean as last time. Beds had trash under them. Otherwise, it was a good trip.

Relaxing

You can sit on the couch and watch and listen to the water rippling by on the river outside the back door if your not outside setting by the fire pit. Deer visited everyday and ducks swam up the river. Great relaxing atmosphere in a quiet neighborhood. The house was just perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Riverside Retreat

Donna’s property is wonderful ! It’s right on the river with so much wildlife to view, ducks, fish, small birds and deer. There is plenty of space inside and out. Kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms are well stocked with most anything you would need. The area is secluded and peaceful! We will be returning!

About the host

Hosted by Donna

Host profile image
My husband Steve and I have been coming to Gunnison for the past 35 years. This is home to my husband whom has been coming to Gunnison since he was 4 years old. He remembers the cabins along the river Before Blue Mesa Reservoir was created. We lived in Gunnison full time for 10 years! Now we have a part time home that we would love to share with YOU.

Why they chose this property

This property was the Historic Old Red Dolly (for you ol' timers) Located on the Gunnison River with some of the greatest fishing right out your back door. Put in a raft and enjoy the Gunnison River up close and personal. So close to Blue Mesa Reservoir, great boating!

What makes this property unique

This is a small private cottage on the Gunnison River with some of the best fishing in your backyard. If you like Lake fishing or Boating, our place is only 10 minutes to Blue Mesa Reservoir ! This home is cozy, quiet, yet close to everything the Gunnison Country has to offer.
