Welcome to Gunnison County, with its alpine valleys and 14,000-high peaks. Rich with old west history, sparkling mountain-fed streams and rivers along with thousand of miles of pristine wilderness, Gunnison and surrounding areas offers visitors a tranquil window to the past while providing multiple unique vacation and sporting opportunities.
Welcome to Island Acres, a Gunnison original, which offers you the privacy of a hotel but the personal touches of a B&B. Take a step back in time to the post-world war era—to the heyday of the “motor inn."
Island Acres has undergone an extensive three-year renovation. The newly renovated rooms retain their historic 1950’s cabin feel, many with period furnishings, while adding comforts that today’s travelers expect with an unexpected warmth, charm, quiet and comfort.

Our property is nestled between two forks of the Gunnison River in a quiet neighborhood. You will be in one of our seven log clad buildings located on a heavily treed 3.2 acres. With only 22 guest rooms, you will have plenty of space for grilling and picnicking, outdoor activities or reading a book in the shade of one of our 100 year-old trees.

Many of our rooms feature full kitchens, dining areas–both indoors and out–great for extending that vacation budget or for people with food allergies. We are within easy walking distance to public access to the river. In the evenings, sit out on the porch or enjoy roasting marshmallows in one of our fire rings or star gaze while enjoying the fresh mountain air. Open your windows to sleep to the sound of the river.
