We had a cabin booked at another resort but they switched us to a room instead of a cabin at check in. We called lost Canyon Resort and they got a cabin ready right away. It's was perfect! read more

My husband and I were lucky to get this cabin. The cabin was clean, rustic (in a good way) and the grounds were well maintained. We were a short, few steps to the Gunnison River. The cabin was furnished with all we needed to cook with, even a bbq grill outside. It was cozy and comfy. The owners were very friendly and made us feel at home right away. It's not a big place, so it was fun getting to know the others at the resort. It was great to retreat to where you have the basics, and the cluttered world just fades away. read more

My wife & I, with our daughter & her young man, have experienced the amenities of the Lost Canyon Resort twice now, in August of 2010 for my 60th birthday, & now July of 2013. We cannot wait to return. The cabins are quite adequate. They are cabins, not condos. Ours was 100 years old, but renovated, well cared for and in very good condition. Clean, adequate linens, and a fully equipped kitchen. You bring spices and food, a BBQ is provided if you prefer it over a stove & oven, or go down river to Gunnison or up river to Crested Butte for fancy eats. The location is similarly rustic. It's a resort circa 1960, with tether ball, bridges & well mowed luscious lawns going right down to the banks of the upper Gunnison River: for the uninitiated, the Gunnison a major tributary to the Colorado, and boasts outstanding fishing. Boats float by & folk wade out with their fly rods. The family who own and operate the place are really great folk. They don't get in your way, but are there to help and provide what they can. No, there's no FiWi or TV's, but "smart" phone connection saved my family members from truly serious withdrawal symptoms. Instead, guests are observed seated outside, reading books, real books, and actually talking with one another! And not expensive, not for what you get, which is a rustic cabin in a world far from the maddening crowd. Its "cabin camping" for families at its best. This is situated in the upper reaches of the Gunnison River. Your city cars can tool up & over Cottonwood Pass on the Continental Divide & drop down into the upper reaches of the Arkansas River at Buena Vista, just a tad from Leadville. With a 4WD or ATV, well, you can go pretty much anyplace: check out the Google Images for "Taylor Park Colorado" and you'll get some idea. From cabin to Continental Divide is 2 hours of spectacular drive-time. You're in the heartland of the Colorado Rockies, up into the 14'ers. And in this area, there's a roller coaster of roads to drive and trails to hike, streams to fish, reservoirs to boat. And then, when you are truly up and away, perhaps on the side of a side road that dead ends at a trail head that beckons, there's something waiting that you've not experienced in some time ... its quiet. You can hear the wind, even hear yourself think, feel the rhythm of Mother Earth. Its there, it still is there, awaiting you. If you dare. And, ergo, from cabin to summit, there's a continuity that you cannot possibly find by staying in a condo in Crested Butte or a motel in the town of Gunnison. But if you prefer that, then, by all means, please do! For there's an additional element to the Lost Canyon Resort, and that's the other guests, folk like my family, who introduce themselves, are interested & friendly, and for the time we all share a wee piece of ourselves and blend together, you know, the way things once were, in ways we now miss. As mentioned above, we cannot wait to return. Thankfully, its not for everyone, just for the select few. read more

Right on the Gunny River! what a great place just what we expected and the hosts are super friendly. Quiet, friendly and serene! What more could you ask for? We had such a great time we are going back next year for sure. read more

This place is exclusively for dogs. It is not fit for humans. We left and went to town to get a motel room. Appliances are older than me (50), beds sag to the middle which you can clearly see just by observation of the old bedspread. Floors are crooked and leave you feeling like you had too much too drink. The owner was rude and even lied to us. Do not stay here!!! If this is your last resort - bring a tent you will be better off. Take me back to Gunnison County but not this place. read more

For $90 a night, I found our cabin to be a great deal. There's nothing fancy about it (although the kitchen and bath have been renovated), but all the basics are there--rustic wooden cabin, table/chairs, stove and fridge, beds, easy chair. The location on the Gunnison River is lovely as are the grounds. Our cabin was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The location between Gunnison and Crested Butte is perfect, too. My only real complaint is that the shower is tiny and the water pressure not so great, but we we managed. read more

I was happy to get these reservations for a 1 room cabin at the last minute. The grounds were lovely and right on the river, which was what I was looking for. I knew it was going to be rustic (no TV, internet, etc), but I wasn't expecting it to be quite so rustic. The appliances were very old. I didn't feel comfortable lighting the gas stove. They used an extension cord for the fridge and it wasn't equipped for a three prong plug. So, they put a three prong plug into a two prong extension cord. The lights flickered a lot and the lamps were hard to keep on. I didn't feel terribly safe with the electrical and gas. Otherwise it was fine. Loved that the laundry is line dried and smelled great. The carpet was terribly old, dirty, and had burns from the wood burning stove. I couldn't charge my computer because none of the outlets are three prong, they're all two prong. So, all in all, I thought it was overpriced for what I got. $60/night would make better sense. read more

We scheduled a week's vacation at this resort. We arrived Sunday evening - and to our dismay, we were so disappointed I can't even describe how we felt. The place was totally disgusting!! My nephew is 6'7" and there is no way he could walk around in the cabin. The floors creaked and were uneven. The beds were old and sank in the middle and when you lay down, your head was below your feet. There was one bathroom in this unit which could hold 8 people. The bathroom was in a bedroom that was so small you couldn't even put a suitcase in it. Anyone staying in the unit would have to go thru this bedroom to even go to the bathroom. The towels that were provided for us to use were probably over 10 years old. They were disgusting. There was no way you could cook in this cabin. The stove was beyond cooking. The cookware that was provided wasn't usable either. And I haven't even got to the SMELL yet. A musty smell would be nice to describe the odor. A dog pound smells better than this place. I don't think anything had been done to the grounds all year. Weeds everywhere!!! This resort says it is a MODERN resort. But let me tell you for the money, it is totally disgusting. We found this place on the internet. I am posting my opinion of this resort - hoping another person won't be as disgusted as we were. The manager was so RUDE - if you take a look at him, it will tell you the kind of resort this is - Sloppy and Unkept. If I were a gambling person, I would say this place is headed for bankruptcy. If no money is put into it, it will be falling down soon. On a scale of 1 to 5 I would rank this resort a 0. read more

Our friends and family stayed in the "double decker" cabin this past week. It's a rustic cabin and atmosphere. The boys were able to play football and fish right out of the back door. Michelle and Max were super nice, very helpful in directing us to find activities and meals. It was nice to not have a tv, internet, and air conditioning wasn't needed as the weather was cool for July. Definitely was able to get some down time at this resort. read more

We rented the group facility for an extended family vacation. I read the reviews on Yahoo, but I am generally pretty low maintenance, so I figured it couldn't be too bad. We paid in advance (be warned, there is a 30 day cancellation policy apparently) which was our second mistake. When we arrived we found sloped floors, short 6ft. doorways, threadbare sheets, mattresses that had huge holes in the middle, a stove that had to be pre-WWII! Not to mentIon that the whole "apartment" smelled mildewed and musty. The bathrooms were stained, dirty, and as old as the stove. The toilet and "shower" were in one bedroom and the sink was in an old closet on the other side of the apartment. Also, the couch was a stained avocado green and harvest gold, so that tells you how old it was too. The owner/operator takes no pride in his facilities and it shows. He also did not refund our payment even though we didn't stay one night. Please don't waste your time and money here. read more
