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!

Our stay at Island Acres could not have been more perfect. The rooms are large, comfortable, and extremely clean!! The property hosts were very accommodating and provided ideas for sightseeing and making our travels memorable. If you are in the Gunnison area, we highly recommend staying at Island Acres....you won't be sorry!!!

Pam and Tim are the best hosts. The property is extremely well maintained and so much fun! The only place to stay in Gunnison. Thanks!

Everything about our stay was enjoyable. Communication was prompt. Check in/ Out was efficient. Our room was clean and spacious. The grounds were immaculate.

Corky, convenient, clean and comfortable with great river proximity

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.

This place is great. Spotless clean Beautiful grounds Very quiet.

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!

Hi we really enjoyed our stay. The room and accommodations were exactly as described, if not better!

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 .

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.

4th year in a row for the wildflower festival and we simple prefer to stay at our home-away-from-home.

Very comfortable, clean and welcoming place. I strongly recommend it.

We won't stay anywhere else in Gunnison. The owners make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. To us it's home away from home.

Clean, comfortable rooms. Near town, river and Blue Mesa for boating and fishing. Great for. Kids with park and playground.

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)!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Great area of town, quiet and cozy and will definitely plan another stay in the future. Room was spacious, clean and liked all of the kitchen amenities. Price for 2 nights was awesome!!

The unit was clean, quiet and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We’ll be returning next year. Thanks Tim for being a great host.

The ONLY place to stay in Gunnison! The rooms are great, towels are amazing, so soft and fluffy, resort is so peaceful and owners are friendly! Always a great home away from home :)

Grateful we had the opportunity to stay here. Kids enjoyed the outdoor spaces while momma and I sat back and enjoyed a cocktail on the porch.

Everything you need and more with a really nice property to hangout on between outings.

We have stayed here several times, and love the quiet peaceful time away from it all. We just love the size of the room, and the kitchen has most everything you need. Its in the center of all the lakes for fishing, hiking, and also close to town, and the Rec Center if you just want to take a dip in the pool. This place is very clean, and still has a rustic feel, like a real cabin does. The staff are always helpful when you need them. Thanks again for a pleasant vacation.

You guys run a fabulous place! Stayed for Labor Day weekend with my hubby. Darling space, great location and what's not to love about a 1950s pink fridge?! We will be back! Thank you for all you do!

Will definitely come back on future trips. Only stayed two nights but could have stayed a week if we had the time. Lots of character, extremely clean rooms. Enjoyed time at the fire pit.

Peaceful location, friendly staff. If your looking for a great get way spot, with plenty of parking,and a place to sit outside.This is it. I have stay here before, and for price, and value, I would Highly recommend it. Will definitely book again.

When traveling, we always prefer staying in “family-run motels, rather than corporate owned hotels. Our stay at Island Acres resort was perfect. We stayed in Room 10, a king suite. The king bed and bedding were very comfortable as were the 2 living room chairs, complete with ottomans. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare some meals. We loved sitting at the red “mid-century “style dinette set, having our morning coffee and looking out the picture window. The bathroom had bathing supplies and plenty of plush towels. We spent a few evenings sitting on our patio, enjoying the fresh air. If visiting in the Gunnison area, do not pass up this gem.

Gunnison is my hometown, when we stay here it's like being back home like it used to be. Awesome atmosphere, great owners and that feeling g of welcome and comfort. We stay here every visit home. Oh yah and our friends as well.

Enjoyed my stay in Gunnison at Island Acres! Well kept, clean room and friendly staff. Had all the amenities I needed to cook and stay comfortable.

Island Acres staff was incredible, they were helpful, flexible and anticipated our needs! Room was very quiet and comfortable, thanks for the wonderful stay!

We have stayed in many motels and this is the first one the actual room was even better than the pictures. Attention was paid to every detail. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful view out of a large picture window. Pam, the owner, was a great tour guide, even loaning us some of her personal literature on the area. We cannot say enough great things about our stay.

Walking in, we felt like we were home. Our accommodations way exceeded our needs and expectations. We extended our stay one additional day due to our satisfaction. We look forward to staying there again during any additional Gunnison visits we schedule.
