About this property
West Elk Wilderness Lodge
Hello! Welcome to the West Elk Wilderness Lodge.
When we think of home, we think of a place of love, laughter, and good times. These walls hold a lot of special memories for us, unwinding after a day of adventures around Gunnison.
For many decades now, many fond memories have been had with our family hunting and exploring in the nearby West Elk Wilderness, so this was a fitting name for the Lodge.
Located on the west edge of town near the Gunnison River on a 1.5-acre lot, we often have deer and fox on the property and every once in a while, a black bear. They are a delight to watch and the sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous as well. The Lodge offers the feeling of being out of town while having all of the amenities and comforts of being in town.
We are honored to open our doors to have you share in all that joy, and help you make some memories here of your own.
So, when you come in, kick off your shoes and enjoy the wonderful heated floors throughout the home. On the main floor is the first bedroom featuring a queen bed, bunk beds and also a desk area, a bathroom with a steam shower, a living and entertaining space with a pool table and piano, a kitchen and dining area, a laundry room and a morning coffee room. Upstairs you will find another family room with futon bed and game area, the master suite with a king bed, walk-in closet and bathroom with shower, and two more bedrooms with queen beds and a family-friendly bathroom with double sinks and a shower/tub combo.
This is the perfect home for your family and friends!
Sorry no long-term rentals (stays beyond 28 days), as we still like to come and enjoy the lodge ourselves. There is a long-term tenant above the detached garage. There are outside security cameras. NO PETS! This home is allergy-free with carpet throughout! Please do not rent if you need to bring your dog. The wood stove is not for guest use.
