A Renovated American Classic
Why choose Island Acres
Island Acres Resort Motel is an independently owned hideaway on Gunnison’s west side that blurs the line between hotel and home. It’s a welcoming space designed to be as intriguing as its history and location. Not just a base camp from which to go out and explore cool stuff, but Island Acres is one of the very places that is part of the experience of a Gunnison Valley stay. Put yourself in the heart of the vibrant Gunnison Valley and share all that travel to this unique area is known for–hiking, trails, Hartman’s Rocks, cycling, fishing, boating, rafting, climbing, the Blue Mesa, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, western history, fantastic summer weather, wildflowers and wildlife. Or sit on the porch and read a book. Island Acres offers something for everyone!

Our Reservation Guarantee
- We never double book.
- We do not participate with online travel agencies (Expedia, Airbnb, etc.) to lessen the chances of double booking.
- We never use ‘bait and switch.’ Guests will not be changed to another style of unit unless requested unless it is a guest approved and no charge upgrade.
- If you are promised a specific unit, you will get that unit.
Do you charge cleaning fees?
We do not charge cleaning fees. We do ask that dishes, pots and pans are cleaned before a guest leaves. There is a $25 fee if that is not done.
We ask dishes to be left clean to to keep costs down. The dishes are picked up upon guests’ checkout and returned to the dish room, where they are run through a santizing dishwasher. To have the dishes without dried on material keeps the housekeepers from having to extra time on santizing tasks.
Do you offer smoking rooms?
Tabacco smoking is allowed on the grounds and porches if not disruptive to non-smokers. Marijuana, while legal in Colorado, cannot be consumed outdoors.
