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

Nice cabin in a small city
This was a nice and cozy cabin right on the edge of Gunnison. There was plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed playing some pool and hanging out in the living room.

Family Time
We had a wonderful time with family. We enjoyed our visit with our child at Western Colorado University. The weather was beautiful. Our evenings were spent around the fire pit enjoying the stars and great family stories. The home felt like our home for a short period of time. Thank you!!

Great place!!
The house is huge with lots of space to hang out. Fire pit was nice in the evenings. Lots of parking for a trailer and pickups if needed. The only negative feedback if you even call it that would be we got locked in the bathroom because the door knob was broke. There weren't enough trash bags in the kitchen to get us past the 2nd day. It may also be good to note in the ad that there is no air conditioning in the house. We survived because the nights were nice out. Overall awesome place to stay. We.loved it! Thank you.

Rustic and relaxing retreat
This was a clean and spacious home for our annual girls trip. Plenty of room for all 9 adults. Great rustic feel. Good location in town. Short walk around the corner to the Gunnison river. Thirty minute commute to Crested Butte, close to Blue Mesa. Our only suggestion is back deck had a few wood boards needing replacement, which was fine for our adult group, but could be a tripping hazard for older adults or kiddos. Overall great experience at this home. We'd stay again!

Great house for family
We had a great time. The house was perfect. Property manager was very responsive when we checked in and found a small but manageable issue on check in.

Warm, Cozy & Clean - Perfect for Families
My family has stayed at many VRBO and other vacation properties from Oregon to Michigan, Montana to Texas and Arizona. This beautiful property is one of our top five favorites and the only one we have stayed at twice. The layout is perfect for family gatherings with space to spread out, play games, watch TV, play pool or sit on the back patio with a warm fire. Comfortable beds and luxurious toiletries in the bathes and showers were a nice upgrade from our previous stay. I highly recommend this jewel in the Colorado mountains.
