George Bailey House

Three Rivers Resort is ideally situated in the heart of Almont, CO, just 20 minutes south of Crested Butte and 10 minutes north of Gunnison.
Named the “George Bailey” home after the lead character in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” this home is popular with large families, multi-families and groups. The home has beds for 8 people but could sleep up to 10 utilizing couches. An attached two bedroom apartment with its own entrance may also be rented as a separate unit or together with the home. We call it the George Bailey Loft. View the Crested Butte mountains from the private hot tub or front porch. There is ample parking available for vehicles and & “toys,” shared with guests staying in the loft. Guests in the George Bailey Home do have access to the garage, which is accessed through the home. **The George Bailey Home and Loft are located up the hill from the main part of the resort, adjacent to our manufactured home park. It is easy walking distance to the main part of the resort but guests may choose to drive. Note that separate parties may be staying in the House and Loft units simultaneously but they have separate entrances and the Loft is located above the garage.**

  Almont is the perfect location for so many reasons, like to fish, float rivers, snow ski, ride side by sides, and hunt. 3 rivers is an awesome secret and we love staying there. The people are great and they just feel like family. But if they get too busy and booked up a yr in advance then we won’t have our perfect secret mountain paradise to count on for lodging, food, adventure, peace. We LOVE 3 rivers !!

  This home was secluded enough for family time while still providing close access to the river fishing. The home was well stocked with kitchen ware and the hot tub was incredible. The only thing I think it lacked was more comfortable beds.

  a guest from Monument, CO recommends this vacation rental

  This is the 3rd (maybe 4th?) time we've stayed in the George Bailey house. It's a great option for two families to share. The home is always clean and the staff friendly in the office.
  
  I do have some complaints because we told the office one year ago about the SCREECHING dryer and the sliding screen door that needs repairing, yet both of these problems still exist one year later.
  
  Also, the windows are a mess and don't open and shut well at all. Since there isn't any air conditioning, it's critical to be able to use the windows. The office said they're aware of this issue, but can't get anyone in to replace the windows. Given how hot the home can get during the day, it can be uncomfortable to sleep at night even when the windows are wide open. I suggest adding AC or, at the very least, ceiling fans in all the bedrooms.

  a guest from Greeley, Colorado recommends this vacation rental

  Nice to spend some time away from busy life and enjoy the snow and beauty of the mountains. Enjoyed the hot tub as well as the house was lovely. Only issue is the wifi doesn't really work as it is too far from the main cabin. Also it was a little challenging as they got a lot of snow while we were there and so they had trouble keeping up with the shoveling/plowing. But it worked out.

  Comfortable and roomy with a good blend of family and personal space.
  Don’t come here if your looking for a place to sneak in some work hours as I had to drive to Gunison to find a place with a good connection, somewhere to sit for awhile without feeling like I’m hogging a table, and a comfortable work environment. Hotub was perfect with a patio like walkway to it and a nice table outside nearby.

  Sarah F from North Little Rock, Ar recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first time to stay in the George Bailey House. We have stayed in several of the other cabins over the years.
  
  It was spacious and clean, an overall good experience. As with all rental properties, there were quirky things but is to be expected.
  
  It is time to replace the appliances however. The handle to the stove was not attached (we used a kitchen towel) the ice maker clogged up(big deal we just opened the door), and the dishwasher needed a little nudging.
  
  Truly I loved the space- the porch was wonderful, and the hot tub was perfect after a long day of fishing.

  a guest from Monument, CO recommends this vacation rental

  This was our 2nd year staying in the George Bailey House. We love the location and, for the most part, the house. We do find the mattresses uncomfortable - much too hard. So this time we brought our own foam pads to ensure a better night's sleep.
  
  The other minor complaint is that several windows that were broken when we rented last year were still broken this year. For a home without A/C, it's important to have good ventilation at night to cool the home down. We were surprised these windows were still an issue.
  
  Overall, the home is very clean with plenty of space for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. We also enjoy the deck and the kids had a blast running around on the lawn.
  
  The staff at Three Rivers is always helpful and friendly. Several of us had a blast taking duckies down the Taylor River with guides from Three River's Resort. We look forward to our stay next year! (Fingers crossed the windows are repaired. :) )

  We arrived thinking we had reservations for three nights. We did, but for the following month. The manager was kind enough to find three consecutive single night options for us. Granted we had to switch cabins each day, but we also got to check out three different cabin styles for our future stays.

  Would definitely stay again. The location and overall layout is perfect for a stay to relax and get outdoors. The house is great, but a in need of a little maintenance. The kitchen shade couldn't open and is a nice view blocked. A few light bulbs were out in bedrooms and the sliding door to deck is frustrating to open. Heat was set very warm when we got there. No need to waste the energy. Newer coffee maker would also add to the place. Location cant be beat though with the views and we love Three Rivers.

  We absolutely loved the home, it is beautiful, but the internet did not work the entire time of our stay , and we called the staff multiple times asking for them to fix the problem. The home is located right next to a mobile home park, but everything was very quiet, home was very clean, beautiful, and well stocked. We would stay there again but would bring a internet extension along.
