About this property

Aspen House by the River

2 bedroom home located 100 feet from the pristine Gunnison River.

The home is on 2.5 acres of riverfront property and across a footbridge that will take you to the Gunnison White Water Park (my balance isn't great and with no handrails, I do not use it). 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! Plenty of room for your RV and trailers. Only one mile from the Crested Butte ski shuttle stop. 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 River House on the river. All hammocks, firepits, and picnic tables are there for the two homes to share. There is a lot of room, so play nice (don't choose the space directly in front of the River House) and enjoy this park-like atmosphere!

Terribly uncomfortable beds, all floors squeak… bad. It’s just a run down place that needs some attention. Value isn’t there in the current condition.

I am very sorry that you did not like your experience. The home does have a new owner and he is hoping to do some major upkeep on the house. We really do not know what all this entails, but we are looking for better. So sorry that you did not like the beds. Some people like hard beds, some people like soft. I am the princess and the pea so I like extremely soft! Hopefully, next time you will find it according to your wishes Jenny Lain Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Today Realty

Relaxing by the River

The location of the property is perfect for individuals who wants relaxing and quiet getaway by the river. We were visiting Gunnison for a friend’s wedding and the property was a great place to wind down in between and after a busy day of events. We highly recommend if you enjoy the outdoors!

Being kid friendly wasn't important, adult friendly it gets an A. The cabin is very well equipped, very comfortable beds & pillows. Its location is perfect in getting to Crested Butte, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Ohio pass, Maroon Belles, just to name a few. My husband is a fly fisherman so being on this premier river was a bonus, He caught a couple beauties, but the big one got away. That is ok, because we will be back.next year. PS be sure to check out Hartman rocks & don't get lost back there.

Convenient and relaxing riverside location.

We very much enjoyed the riverside location for relaxing with a cocktail in the evening. Convenient location to town and main hwy for groceries, restaurants and town happenings. Coffee pods and laundry supplies were available (thank you). There were a couple of minor improvements that would be helpful, but overall a very nice property.

Great Family Vacation Stay

Plenty of room, pillows, blankets & amenities for our little family vacation. Property manager was very easy & quick to get a hold of and answer any questions. The beds were very fluffy & comfy after a long drive. The house was clean and everything worked fine. Plenty of hot water for showers. The river right the behind the house was gorgeous. We were happy with our stay.

Great location and good communication with when we needed to make different arrangements.

The house was comfortable, could use some additional kitchen items; plastic wrap, baggies, the bathroom sink drain needs to be looked at, as it does not drain well and the bed in the master bedroom needs to be replaced, there is a huge dip in the middle.

This is all very good to know. Thank you for your constructive criticism. I will pass all of this along and see what we can do. I didn't know about the drain and will address this as soon as I can. Thank you

A Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Aspen House and recommend. The location is great and the property is generally as advertised. A couple of items to note - the dryer was a bit finicky when we were there. It took a lot of patience and VERY small loads to get anything dry. This was communicated to the property manager. The kitchen is adequately stocked and works for basic meals, but (as is often the case in vacation rentals) the knives are dull and not of great quality. Overall we enjoyed our time in Gunnison and this was a great base for our adventures!
