I stayed here for Christmas Eve/Day and there was no better place to be. Fireplace, Christmas tree, family dinner.. I came out for the discount lift tickets at Crested Butte, but thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Will be back for sure! Lift ticket deals are killer...

I loved staying at the Wanderlust! I went to the area for Yoga Rocks the Butte and found Wanderlust online. Everyone who worked there was friendly on the phone and in person, making sure I had all the right information and happy to answer all my questions. I met a few very nice people staying there and they have a... More

How interesting it was to find out that a hostel was coming to the neighborhood. Living next door we were skeptical at first thinking that unwanted clientele might be staying there.

Being a light sleeper, I stayed in one of the private rooms instead... More

The friendly folks here made us glad we came to Gunnison - very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We didn't sleep well in beds that sagged badly and squeaked every time we rolled over, but that's much easier to fix than atmosphere and attitude - which were Great! Don't choose the bed closest to the door.

Guests are greeted with a down-to-earth welcome that just gets better during your visit. These folks know what they are doing and they do it well. The rooms are clean and cozy with personality plus. House rules are acknowledged and appreciated so you can plan on getting enough sleep if that is your goal. Meeting the neighbors is a bonus.... More

After a long pedaling day of a little over 100 miles, my map recommended staying at this hostel in Gunnison. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed and warm, and I immediately felt welcome. Amy and Kelsey are both fun, interesting hosts, and the other guests there added to the fun. Everyone was very respectful and quiet at night, and the facilities... More
