Fodor's Expert Review Rockey River Resort

A tetherball on the turf, a riverside fire pit, and welcoming front porches: these are just a few of the touches that make this old homestead a uniquely pleasant place to stay. There are 14 simple but modernized cabins with fully equipped kitchens on the Gunnison River. You can fish right outside your door or drive to Blue Mesa Reservoir, 18 miles away. You can also borrow from the resort's fleet of cruiser bikes for a leisurely cycling excursion. The cabins are dog friendly, and the proprietors are knowledgeable about fishing, trails, and local history, including the property's own barn, constructed in the late 1800s.
