About this property

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!

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.

Peaceful and Magical Family Retreat

This property is absolutely stunning in every way! The details and accommodation in the home were beyond expectations! There was plenty of space for the family of 7 to spread out, play games, cook meals and so many gathering spots to sit and take in the breathtaking views. Hikes from the property in the morning and campfires at night, you could not ask for a better setup! Also close enough to downtown Gunnison as well as Crested Butte for shopping, food, and site seeing. The owners and property manager were all so very helpful and accommodating. We created memories that will last us a lifetime and our so grateful to have experienced this magical place!!

About the host

Hosted by Stan and Pam Hegener

We first found Crested Butte and Gunnison almost 35 years ago and brought our kids here to learn to ski. After several years absence we returned to the area and experienced the four seasons and decided we needed a place for our kids to come with their kids to enjoy the great outdoors!

Why they chose this property

When you drive up you will know why we fell in love with the property. You can see from the pictures its unique style and the amenities it has to offer. A 40 acre horse property with 360 views of the mountains and just 7 minutes from town and 20 minutes from Crested Butte. Year around activities and prefect temperatures!

What makes this property unique

Words can't describe how the setting and uniqueness of this property has made it the perfect second home and one that we feel our guests will enjoy as well.
