Pioneer Guest Cabins offers an authentic mountain retreat where rustic charm meets modern comfort. Tucked into a scenic valley alongside a peaceful creek, the property features eight unique cabins surrounded by pristine National Forest. Guests can step directly from their door into outdoor adventures like hiking, biking, fishing, skiing, and snowshoeing, making it a perfect destination for year-round recreation. Each cabin provides a welcoming balance of natural beauty and contemporary amenities, creating a truly memorable Colorado experience.
Rooted in rich history, the cabins were once part of the Gunnison-Pioneer Winter Sports Area, home to Colorado’s first chairlift, built in 1939. What began as a hub for local ski pioneers has evolved into a cherished lodging destination that still reflects the adventurous spirit of its past. The cabins have been thoughtfully remodeled to preserve their original character while offering modern-day comfort to travelers. Since 2001, Matt and Leah Whiting have lovingly cared for the property, welcoming guests with warmth and local insight to help make every stay as enjoyable and unforgettable as the mountain landscape itself.
