Island Acres Resort Motel

Gunnison

We love Island Acres! 2024 will be the tenth year that we will enjoy Pam and Tim’s friendly hospitality.  The accommodations are cozy and thoughtful.  We enjoy revisiting all that the Gunnison Valley has to offer from family friendly restaurants and businesses to the world class scenery and outdoor activities but we always smile at the end of a long day because we come back from these adventures to sweet Island Acres!

We love Island Acres!

My recent solo stay was lovely. This is a quiet oasis directly across the road from access to the Gunnison River.  Tranquil, shady, and peaceful, the owner is kind and available to answer any questions.  It is very clean, the beds and pillows are comfy, and the bath towels are thick, soft, and absorbent.  Although there is no A/C, my room stayed cool (you're in the mountains!) and a box fan is provided if needed.  A little patio area with a table and two chairs is in front of each unit - the perfect place for coffee, listening to the birds, and watching the deer.  
This is not a modern hotel, so if you might prefer a super fancy, high-end luxury resort with a pool and luxe amenities, keep looking. But if you would enjoy a clean, quiet, peaceful, scenic, family-friendly "Mom and Pop" motel that is a delightful throwback to simpler times, this is your place.  Dogs welcome.  A swim in the river, fly-fishing, canoeing, or rafting is right across the road, and there are also quiet and shady hiking trails along the river.  It is beautiful!  I've already reserved a unit for next summer and am bringing my husband, teenage son, and our dog - Island Acres may become our new family tradition!
Side-note:  this lovely little motel is near the Gunnison Airport, so every now and then the small planes fly close by.  It only happens a couple of times a day, and not at night, but just be aware that, although it IS mostly peaceful, the sounds of humans can still be heard on occasion.

Peaceful tranquility!

Our stay was wonderful as always. Cabin #10 was Great!!  Trees were changing to golden color. Deer were active . Every morning we enjoyed watching them from our window while we had our breakfast. Very quiet at night..  Even though they are off of Hwy50 and close to airport . Room was very clean.  Pam & Tim, are taking extra cleaning precautions during your stay and  bed was comfortable. Thank you, for another great stay. See you next summer.

Back for Fall Vacation

It was a great place to stay in Gunnison. It is close to town but has that country feel with a large front yard where deer come up and graze in the evening. The owners treated us like family Our cute cabin was great and very clean and comfortable. There was a separate bedroom and living room area which both had a large TV. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in. We will definitely stay there again whenever we get back out in that area.

We've stayed here a couple of times and like the yards which provide a nice place to walk the dog.  The owner is great.  The unit we stayed in (#2) had a kitchen table with chairs for eating and everything we need to fix breakfast.   My husband could sit outside on the chairs provided on the walkway to have his smoke and left the room smoke free.  Yes, a little retro, but we like that!

Nice place for a dog -- and have a kitchen

I Love this place to stay at. Takes me back to my childhood day's. I Love Retro décor. And Pam and her service staff are great!! I love cabin #10 . First time in this cabin . I've stayed in other cabin's  but I Love this one the best.. If you want something a little something different and from the past. Please stay here..

Nice clean,quiet place and my special place to stay whle I am in Gunnison area..

While the rooms are quite dated and in need of a major investment to upgrade the kitchen, bathroom, linoleum floors and fixtures, what makes this place so pleasant are the staff. They are knowledgeable, involved in cleaning and upkeep, and friendly. That being said, it is a 1950’s throwback which has its charm. It was definitely clean and safe. Kitchenette had stove, micro, frig, coffee pot and toaster. They are pet friendly and it is a great place as a base to go see the sights and hike. Enjoyed walking through the town and shopping. Highly recommend eating at The Twisted Fork and Ol’ Miner Steakhouse.

Charming Indeed!

My family vacations in Colorado every June & love to stay in rooms with kitchenette for an extra homey feel. Island Acres was clean & had a great homey feel. The owner, Pam, was friendly & knowledgable about the area. We will definitely stay again!

Nice & secluded

During our trip from California to Denver, we stopped for a night at this motel. They gave us a mini apartment with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a living room. Clean, quiet and well-kept.

Small but very welcoming environments

Very nice, very quiet, were housed in an old, rebuilt wooden house... alternatively there are the usual motel rooms/apartments, but with a loving 60s-70s decoration.
