Quartz Creek Retreat
New for us September 2024! Quartz Creek Retreat is perfect for everyone seeking a genuine Colorado escape, with a running stream out back. Located 17 miles east of adorable Gunnison we are perfectly situated for access to amenities, yet remote enough to experience the wildlife. With space for all your entire extended family - host a gathering for all! Nearby access to skiing, hiking, biking, fishing and four-wheeling. Blue Mesa Reservoir, Crested Butte Ski Resort, Monarch Ski Resort, Pitkin (oldest western slope town) The space Every room is spacious and the house offers many community spaces for gathering and interaction. With function in mind, each bedroom has it's own sink and vanity with 2 main master bedrooms, each with their own master bathroom. (All bedrooms on the second floor.) There is an active river (creek) running on the property, so leave your sound machine at home, and open the windows! Don't worry about no AC! Open the windows at night and let nature keep you cool and lull you to sleep. Remember you're in the mountains.... (With that in mind, bring bug spray! This is the wild, but we do have screens on the windows so no worries inside.) Other things to note Closest trails for all your recreation vehicles are a short trailer ride about 1 mile away. Plenty of parking area at the house for trailers and multiple vehicles. You cannot access trails from the house, sorry.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This was the second time we stayed here. Perfect for our needs. It's a rather remote location but it's a beautiful setting and we love it! It's very clean. Communication with the host was very good.

If you’re looking for a kitchen to do cooking in, this is not the one it’s very small. Little difficult to cook for a big group in this small kitchen.

This house is a beauty! There was plenty of room for the whole family and the location worked perfectly for us. I was so grateful and very impressed with Jenny from BHHS she made it so easy for us to get in and out and was always available if we had any questions. We will definitely try to stay there again next year.

Great location near Pitkin to ride. Plenty of room for trailers. Nice large space for our group of 8. The creek running behind the house is beautiful and the sound is very relaxing. Only found one hair dryer so maybe have one in each bathroom area. There is no ice maker so some trays would have been nice to have ice.

Really enjoyed staying at Quartz creek. Other than hard to get big trailers into the property. Nice house for our group of 12.
