We had a great time staying at the Wanderlust. Amy is not just a perfect hostess but also a friend. She welcomes you with open arms. The decoraton is so unique, personal and special - you feel like beeing at a very special place. Personalized rooms, bikes to borrow, big well equipped kitchen, clean rooms, spacious living room to hang... More

I stayed here during a spring break course at Wester State and had an absolutely wonderful time! The place has a lot of character but is also very cozy, clean, and welcoming. Everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly, from staff to guests. I was able to get a lot of studying done but also have a fun time! And it... More

This was a perfect place to stay for me: relaxed, friendly, affordable and in a good location for visiting a few different locations (Black Canyon & Crested Butte mainly). Kelsey & Amy kept the atmosphere relaxed and instantly it felt just like staying at a friends house. Free run of a well equipped kitchen, with stores nearby, made meal-times easy... More

I stayed here while doing a course at Western State this summer and had an amazing time! The hostel is a beautiful house easily accessible to the main streets and college (even lent us some bikes to ride around town with) and is run by very warm owners! I would definitely recommend that anyone stay here. I arrived on my... More

My stay at The Wanderlust Hostel was absolutely perfect. The home is clean and cozy and full of charm. It's the kind of place where you can tell the people who live there genuinely love taking care of the home. Amy, who owns the hostel, is an outstanding host. She gave me a lot of advice on where to hike... More

My boyfriend and I ended up here by chance after camping in Crested Butte for several days and we felt so at home! It was such a welcome surprise to stumble upon such a clean, well-decorated, inviting hostel where we could relax and unwind before heading out for another adventure. We used hostel bikes to go eat in town thanks... More

I was bicycle touring across the country, only passing by Gunnison when BLAM! My bike broke down. This is where the review begins. Gunnison, CO is a must. If you are going through the area it is such a nice city. Main street has an old-timey feel with plenty of sporting shops, restaurants, and pubs. The Wanderlust Hostel is in... More

I have stayed at hostels in the eastern U.S. and this is the first time I have stayed at one in the West. The Wanderlust Hostel in Gunnison was significantly better. What stood out particularly was the level of amenities that were available at no charge to guests. I also found the level of service excellent. More

Amy and her brother, Keith, gave me such an amazing first experience at a hostel. The Wanderlust is just like staying at home. One of their helpers, Kelsey, who was new to the area was a wonderful addition to their staff. They all go out of their way to make you feel at home. I have been told that not... More
