This was a perfect rental for us. My husband and I were in town to watch our daughter play volleyball at Western Colorado University. It was in a great location, very clean and comfortable. It was nice having a bigger refrigerator and while we didn't cook, we certainly could have. There were others staying in the larger rental on the property and there were no issues with parking, noise or bumping into each other. Checking in and out was super easy. We would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed the coziness and cleanliness of the studio, the quietness of the neighborhood, and the decor and quality of furniture. In addition it’s in the heart of Gunnison and only 30 minutes to Crested Butte. However, the steep long stairs that lead to the studio create an obstacle for carrying the luggage. We didn’t find a washer/dryer that is a necessity. No closet or space to hang clothes. Also the breakfast table is so small that we couldn’t use for our meals. All in all it was a satisfactory stay and the owner was very responsive to our messages.
While the property is new, we feel it is not otherwise what is described in the listing. First, there is no washer and dryer. I was counting on having this and therefore packed light for my family and self. There is a hookup for them, but they are not actually present. Second, the property is described as having another vacation rental onsite. It is not another rental, it is the owner?s home and they are living in it. The owner was home and landscaping his yard the entire duration of our stay. He was putting up a fence, unloading rock, etc. A few nights he was working and using his saw until 9 pm. The owners also, on several occasions, used their garage door (that this unit is above) well past 10pm. We have two kids that were asleep by 9. This was very disruptive and intrusive. Having the owners onsite was uncomfortable. We did not want to hang out at the condo with the owners outside working on their fence/yard and their kids playing. Next (and this is not in the listing, just a disappointment), there is no place for the condo renters to just relax outside. There is no outdoor space that belongs to the condo. Lastly, as for the kitchen being well stocked, there is a microwave, but the only dishes available say not for microwave use. I think with some consideration of the above points, this condo could be acceptable for a couple, maybe a quick stay, but it did not work well for our family. We will not choose this property again.

Madeline, thank you for your feedback. We have shared it with the homeowner who has the following to say:
"I'm sorry you were disappointed with your stay and apologize for any inconveniences.
We do not live at the main house, we were there on vacation but also to fix up the landscaping to improve the aesthetics of the property. Prior to that, it was nothing but dirt and weeds in an open, fenceless yard. The ground freezes during the winter season so nothing could be done while the temperatures were below freezing because the house was just built at the end of 2017.
If you had just let us know about the late evening noises, we would've been more conscious of the time and stopped working at whatever time you needed us to stop.
I'm not sure why there was an assumption that there would be a washer/dryer. It was not listed as an amenity but I do understand that it would be nice to have available. The description was for a studio apartment, not a condo, and clearly showed what came with the rental. The house has a washer and dryer available as part of that rental. We did offer and washed your clothes for you prior to your departure. The pictures clearly show the studio exactly as described being over a garage, including use of the garage. The description will be updated to state that there is now a graveled area directly on the side of the studio for guests to use for any needs.
As for the dishes, I was not aware that they were not microwavable and could've have been a very easy and quick fix. That issue has been resolved.
If any concerns had been brought to our attention, we would've been more that happy to try to make any adjustments or changes to remedy any issues right away to make your stay a positive experience. There have been previous guests occupying the studio while there have been separate house guests without any issues of either guests feeling intrusion on their stays. I'm not sure why us staying at the house versus a different guest would be much different, but I'm sorry we made you feel that way. We feel that the property is a very affordable and nice option for vacationers, and one of the few places to allow pets. Again, we apologize for the evening noise and landscaping work. The property now has a nice and beautiful deck and yard for guests to enjoy."
Thank you for giving us the means to create five-star experiences moving forward. Best, the Evolve Team
The studio is clean, very comfortable, and convenient to everything. A great place to stay that is new and fresh, bathroom with good shower and plenty of towels. Lots of places to store clothes and toiletries during stay so you do not need to feel you are living out of a suitcase. The kitchenette was well equipped with what you need for a quick meal. Having a separate entrance, parking space and/or garage is a big plus. The owner is very responsive to questions or requests.
