This is a very clean and well organized hostel. I wish more hostels on the mountains were as good as this one! 5 minute walk to the main street (for food and drink, if you don't want to cook). Lots to do around Gunnison. If you are on a motorbike (as I was), there is parking around the back.

This is the best place to stay if yourbin Gunnison or Crested Butte. Everyone is super friendly and chill. The door room beds are the moat comfortable I have slept on and the place is spotless. There is a beautiful garden and awesome spotts to chill outside or inside. Love this hostel! It feels like home

Great stay! You're feeling comfortable as soon as you arrive. The place is dog-friendly which makes it even better. Whether you want some peace and quiet or to socialise, both are possible here, the host and guests are great people!

This hostel is warm, cheerful, homey and inviting. I love how brightly the interior is decorated while the outdoors has wonderful spaces to lounge in the sun or rock in a hammock or eat at a picnic table. The kitchen is spacious, the living room is huge!, the owner Amy is super friendly, and the overall ambiance is relaxing and... More 

The Wanderlust was clean and cozy. Amy and her staff were super helpful in navigating the area, and worked hard to accommodate an extended stay when my travel plans changed. I used the hostel as a home base when I was doing wildflower hikes during the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival in mid-July. The hostel served as a good connecting point... More 

I recently stayed at the Wanderlust and was very pleased with my stay. As an older women who has stayed in hostels and dorm type lodging in Oregon, I have to say this was a warm and wonderfully peaceful lodging. Amy our host was very helpful with directions and anything she was asked. I recommend this place for anyone or... More 

I was so surprised to find this gem in the middle of Colorado! The owner is wonderful, the hostel is cozy and every thing was clean. We found it very easy to meet new people. It was also nice and quiet for the most part, which we really enjoyed. Only about a 5 minute walk to the main street and... More 

I'm so happy I found this place! The house is super-cozy with comfortable beds, clean bathrooms/towels, full kitchen, lounging area, etc. The staff is really accommodating and friendly. At such a great value and just 30 mins from Crested Butte, I don't know why I'd stay anywhere else!

The atmosphere is summed up in one word....PEACE. They have thought of everything, even the locks for the bikes you can take out for rides around town. I highly recommend this location, and I know that we will return as often as there is room available!
