About this house rental
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.

The cabin was the perfect space for family during a family wedding weekend. It was close to everything. The cabin also was spacious enough for additional family to have a place to hang out and visit in between wedding events. Thanks to a crockpot provided in the kitchen- we were able to go out for a hike and return to homemade chili. The pool table provided hours of fun.

Great location and the house is clean.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The house was ok but somewhat shabbier than the pictures would lead you to believe. The front steps, the hand rail and the towel bar in the lower bathroom need repair. Thistles are growing through the deck and the patio with the fireplace is cracked and broken and some of the chairs are broken. The house is in a neighborhood not in the wilderness and not the nicest neighborhood in Gunnison. That said, it was clean and well supplied. We enjoyed our stay but the pictured of the house made us think we were getting something nicer.

We loved everything about this place. The listing was very accurate and the location was great, close to everything and yet off the main roads so no noise, very peaceful. I come back to Gunnison almost every summer and will defiantly rent this VRBO again with my family.
