Our stay at Island acres
We had a great experience at Island acres. The owners are so helpful and the grounds are beautiful and our little cabana was super cozy. Will return in the future thank you so much

We love Island Acres!
It's convenient to town, yet isolated from town & traffic (mostly). It's right across Hwy 50 (be careful crossing!) from the river park where you can walk, wade, fish & float. Also, (we love this!) you can enjoy watching planes zoom right over your heads as they take off/land @ the Gunnison airport. The motel is from the 40s/50s style architecture; clean, organized with a gorgeous bunch of trees all over the complex! We get the full kitchen unit & it's spacious; not your usual tiny motel room.

Recent stay
Really liked the resort; well maintained, peaceful and convenient. Pricing is very competitive. Reminded me of my early day in Gunnison and Almont, before all of the "wealthy" discovered the Gunnison Cointry.

Home away from home
My big family, 8 adults & 5 kids (ages 18months up to 15), stayed here in June. The large cabin was 3 beds, 3 baths, a lovely dining/front room and an adorable classic kitchen. And the second cabin was a smaller two bed 1 bath with a cozy kitchenette. Plus, the grass areas were perfect for our kids and dog to play! Not only are the accommodations so comfortable and clean, the staff we crossed paths with were so kind and it felt like we were old friends. I can not recommend Island Acres enough. We will be making this an annual visit for SURE!

Review of Island Acres
We are repeating visitors to Island Acres. This motel is very dog friendly with a lot of room surrounding it to walk your dogs and facilities to even wash off dogs too. It is a clean and quiet oasis for those coming to enjoy the many physical activities nearby. The motel has a laundry service on site. The motel is close to restaurants and a grocery store and not a long car trip to Crested Butte. I highly recommend Island Acres as a place to stay for young families, hikers and dog traveling people.

Such a perfect stay!
Wonderful place. Great location that is quiet and peaceful. Brought our dogs and used the Critter Sitters up the road 2 min for affordable day care while we played on the river/Blue Mesa. Close to town and easy out to Blue Mesa! Very clean and very well appointed kitchenette!! So glad we chose this location!!

Wonderful stay!
We had a great time there this past weekend. The room was the perfect size and so cute! Very clean! The park outside with shade provided us with a chance to make s’mores. The customer service and kindness of staff was so welcoming! We will stay there again everytime!

Thank you so much for making our stay a delight, we were thrilled at the cleanliness of this motel. in Gunnison Colorado. Comfortable, it was one of the cleanest motels I have stayed it. I wish all places could be this clean. Thanks again.

Very Nice!
Unit 7 was excellent. A roll of paper towels would have been nice. Also could not find where to take out the trash? We will return next time we fish Blue Mesa.

I chose to staycation @Island Acres Resort while in between housing. I once was a neighbor to the resort and knew it was well cared for by Pam & Tim. Beautifully situated adjacent to the Gunnison River, surrounded by cottonwood trees & short drive to the heart of the city of Gunnison CO. Great rooms w/kitchenettes. Quiet & charming, feels like home or a place you visited as a kid! 5 stars is too few. Enjoy this Gem!

Wonderful place
This was our second time to have a family gathering at Island Acres. The cabins are clean and well stocked with clear directions on where to find items. So close to Gunnison in case you forget something but yet far enough away that you don’t feel like you’re in a city. Close to Blue Mesa Lake. Plenty of outdoor seating, picnic tables and friendly, helpful managers. Also I had clear communication about check in and check out. We will definitely make a return visit.

Thanks for a comfortable stay!
Island Acres certainly exceeded my expectations for what a motel could be. The room was clean and comfortable. Since the motel is pet-friendly, I was able to bring my dog. There is a walking trail along the river just across the road, and we were able to take daily walks to enjoy the scenery. Would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in Gunnison!

Great place
I come to Gunnison to float fish the area streams and have stayed in several places, but Island Acres Resort is my favorite. I love the covered sitting area and the yard with the campfire. The rooms are very comfortable and have cooking facilities. The location on the edge of town is like being in the woods but close to town .

Relaxing comfortable stay.
Our suite was great for what we were there for. A relaxing, efficient, place to enjoy the beautiful amenities of the Rocky Mountains & the Gunnison River. Good proximity to town without traffic noise, nice for resting between mountain adventures.

Mountains on the Fourth!
As frequent visitors to the Gunnison area, we always enjoy the convenience of staying near town while still close to Blue Mesa and Crested Butte. The vintage rooms are perfect for my wife and I. They are always clean and we like having the kitchenette even though we didn’t cook any full meals. Will definitely be back (again)!

Island Acres Stay
We first stayed at Island Acres 11 years ago on our first trip to the area. Perfect location for day trips to Crested Butte and Black Canyon as well as local Gunnison attractions like Hartmann Rocks and the Gunnison River. We just made our fourth visit to the area and Island Acres. Clean. Comfortable. Affordable. Perfect.

Excepotional.
Cabins have been updated and look great! Pam and her husband are very accommodating to our needs when reserving the cabins. The cabins have everything you need. You don't need to take bedding, towels, etc. Kitchen utensils, pots, pans, dishes, etc. are all supplied. The best place to stay in Gunnison is our opinion!

Delightful, Clean and Charming, Followup
I have repeatedly stayed at this wonderful little motel for work over the past year, and it is consistently spotlessly clean and quiet, and the owners are very kind and responsive to my every need. I almost don't want to let the secret out, as it might be harder to get a reservation. :-) Very highly recommended from a very experienced business traveler!!

Always a great experience!
My family and I have been staying at Island Acres on our trips to Gunnison for over 12 years. We have never stayed anywhere else that has such a relaxing, home like feel. The rooms are always spotless and we love the retro decor. The location is quiet nestled in a large grove of cottonwood trees. It was wonderful being able to sit on the covered porch during our last visit and look up into those huge trees. The fall colors were beautiful . For us, island Acres isn’t just a place to stay, it is a place we look forward to spending time during our vacations to Colorado. Thank you Pam and Tim for another wonderful experience at your establishment. We hope to see you again soon.

Easy & Quiet
If you're looking for a simple and quiet place to stay this is the place. No check-in or out required. Parking is right outside the door. The room was clean and I slept well in the bed.

Quaint Mountain Charm
Excellent family owned motel. Old Route 66 style vibe. Clean, well-appointment rooms in a great location tucked down in the trees. I spent 3 days fly fishing on the Gunnison River, & Island Acres was within 15 min of great access.
