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!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a great stay at this property. It was modest but very clean and comfortable — exactly as described in the listing, which matched the reviews we'd read beforehand and gave us confidence going in. The price was reasonable for what we got, and the location right near the Gunnison River was a huge plus.Booking was easy, and we had no trouble finding the place or getting in when we arrived. No surprises, no hassles — just a solid, reliable place to stay. We'd absolutely book here again next time we're in Gunnison.
We loved staying at the Aspen house by the river. We stayed for 8 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The house was very clean and well stocked. It had everything we needed. We traveled with a trailer with our side x side. We liked the big driveway that made it easy for maneuvering it around. The host answered any questions we had in a very timely manner. We would definitely stay here again 10/10. Also, the location was great. Very close to town for restaurants and shopping.
The house was convenient to the town and close to the river.

I’m so sorry that you were not more impressed. The home does have a brand new owner who intends on doing many upgrades. Please come and stay with us again. It will be better
If you enjoy relaxing by a gorgeous river listening to the Aspen trees in the breeze this is the place for you. Lovely property and very close to all that Gunnison has to offer. Will be back for sure!
Absolutely love the property. Can’t for next year!

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

House was perfect for us, loved watching the Gunnison river roll by out my window. Very comfortable, loved the king size bed. No complaints, our son dropped by on way to camping & was very impressed.
Location on the river was spectacular. Large outside space to experience the serenity of the Gunnison River. Comfortable beds and furniture.A bit disappointed in the cleanliness of the house, the floors were in need of a good cleaning. Linens and towels were fresh/clean.
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!
Nice stay for 5 weeks. Clean, everything worked except tv at the end. Good communication with agent. Beautiful location. Could use updated furniture and rugs.
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.
