Buffalo Peaks B&B

10/10 Excellent
"Buffalo Peaks is the perfect place to stay after a long day out on the trail. It is in a quiet location with access to town 3 minutes down the road. Paz is the perfect host. I cannot say enough wonderful things about it."

"Checking in was a bit confusing but got it figured out. The lights in the bathroom when a person was in a stall turned off shortly after entering, so ended up doing the paperwork in the dark. Was concerned about the yurt cooling off at night but that was not an issue. Wish there was a better maintained path down to the river. Definitely would stay again."

Taylor Park Overlook Cabin in Gunnison National Forest with Lake Views

Taylor Park Overlook Cabin in Gunnison National Forest with Lake Views

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was in the perfect location for us, since we were riding side by side trails. Beautiful views of the mountains and Taylor Lake Reservoir. Cute and functional. Brand new gas grill on the deck. Fully stocked kitchen. Everything was very clean. We did not find any wash cloths for showering, so bring your own. Not a fancy place, but very nice , and definitely a cozy, homey, cabin feel, like you would expect in the mountains. One thing I have noticed with a lot of VRBO is they only supply a very limited amount of trash bags and toliet paper, and it is usually junk. They had plenty of both, plus ziploc bags, tinfoil ect. Would definitely stay again."

Surf Hotel & Chateau

Surf Hotel & Chateau

10/10 Excellent
"We came through to Crested Butte with not many expectations. We got in late, around 9, after driving 12 hours and looked like heethans. We came in starving and asked if we were appropriate enough to grab a bite and a drink. The entire staff was incredible and welcoming. Our bartender was pretty new, but confident in all he did and personable to the nines. I think it was David? Anyway, espresso martini and whatever my husband had were incredible, as was the homemade lasagna and gnocchi! It literally started our trip to be amazing. In the morning I came down to the gorgeous mineral pool and had some time and didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay! Highly recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"Me and my wife rented the cabin last August of 2025 and got married in salida. We stayed the last week of July 2026 for our honeymoon.I cannot thank our hosts enough for having us.It was a very romantic stay.And as a couple that like OHV Riding,It was nice Riding on the mountain pass in our RZR 50" trail over Hancock pass to pitkin for a nice lunch.And on a side note, It irrates me about negative,untruthful recent reviews.Please read and understand what is said about bringing dogs,extra guests,etc, and simple rules as a guest that you are.The hosts are very nice people and just ask for simple respect.Just a beautiful place for a kansas couple to get away from the hustle and bustle of big city living."
