About this property

Unique 40 AC Horse Friendly Ranch Renovated 1850 Miners Cabin w/3000 SF Addition

  • Experience the Old West and the great outdoors at Wiley Spur Ranch! Located just 6 miles from Gunnison, Colorado and 20 miles from Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte you will enjoy the spectacular views of the Ohio Creek Valley. Photographing the wildflowers and wildlife, fly fishing, rafting, mountain biking, bring your horse and explore the BLM trails only a quarter mile away, 3 each 1 acre paddocks with plenty of grass to graze on, or hunters can trailer your horses just down the road to Ohio Creek Pass and pack in for hunting Elk. Enjoy the fall foliage or sit by the fire pit and star gaze, schedule your trip around the July 4th Holiday and go rodeoing! Crested Butte has a great fall film festival during the fall foliage. These are just a few activities in the nearby area. The original miners' cabin was built in 1851, renovated in 2010 and added onto in 2014. There are 2 living areas, 3 bedrooms plus a bunk room in the loft that will sleep 6, 4.5 bathrooms, a dogtrot style dining area, an outdoor cook shack fire pit and a whole lotta porch for watching the sunset over the mountains. We are less than a half mile from BLM property where you can explore on foot, horse back, 4 wheeler, or go hunt for Elk or Mule deer! Go ice skating, take in a hockey game at the ice center or visit the Gunnison Community Center and go swim or rock climb year around! You will not lack for something to do or see! Weddings not allowed per Gunnison County!

Just like coming home!

This is our third or fourth stay. We just keep coming back. It’s so quiet. So many different outside areas to enjoy the scenery, weather, horses, and peacefulness. The accommodations and kitchens are stocked with useful and functional items. Can’t ask for more.

We love this property and it's our second time staying here! Easy communication with Stan & Pam and Elizabeth is easy to reach for any questions. Making memories here with our adult kids was fantastic. Gunnison Valley and surrounding areas have wonderful outdoor options. Wiley Spur Ranch never disappoints! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We look forward to coming back again.

Peace & Tranquility

Second time we've stayed at this property. Very close to town and grocery, gas, etc. but it feels out in the country. Very quiet and peaceful. This year we got to watch the hay gathering process for two days and it was awesome. There are so many places outside to enjoy and each offers sun, shade, view, bench swing, etc. The best part are the colors in the morning - blue sky, white clouds, golden acreage cut by a wood fence and horses. No technology beyond a camera is needed. See you next August.

This was the best vacation to Gunnison!! Everything was so easy.... Elizabeth was very helpful and just a phone call away, if we needed anything or just need helpful information.The ranch was just little drive to Downtown Gunnison area and easy drive to Crested Butte. The fishing at Blue Mesa with Kyle Jones was incredible!! And top it off, we rented jeeps in Lake City and did the Alpine Loop...Wow!! What a view!! Incredible!!All 3 couples have their own bedroom and bath.... spacious living areas and kitchen was fabulous.... Lovely grounds and beautiful flowers. It was just what we needed to get out of the Texas heat!! Thank you for the use of this beautiful 1850 Colorado home!!
