Texan, Lake City

I took the family this past summer to go fishing and a little hiking. They enjoyed the stay despite the cold cabins, which is obvious they are from the 1800s. The fishing was great at the nearby lake, I forget the name offhand, excellent scenery and quiet to escape from the noise of a city. All in all, the family enjoyed the stay so that makes me happy.

I made a reservation in January, picked a cabin, and planned a visit with a small group of friends. The promised cabin had 2 bedrooms and a living room, which would work out great for the 6 people staying there. When I arrived, I was told I was moved to a 1 bedroom cabin because "when we have maintenance issues, we need to move people". I was never informed of the change, and there was someone else staying in the cabin I reserved! Since it was only for a couple nights, I just let it go, but I will never visit this "resort" again. The cabin I did receive was clean enough. As for value, it certainly was not a good one. There were other properties around Lake City I would have rather stayed at. The new owner has decided to build big log homes all over the resort. Be careful if you stay in one because there are gaps in the log walls. At night it is amazing to see all the slivers of light showing though - and this in square logged structures that are supposed to be sealed with foam strips between the logs and then screwed together. If you are there in the winter, it will be an interesting time. My recommendation? Find someplace else to stay. Plenty of better values in Lake City.

We had a wonderful vacation in Lake City last summer and are planning to visit again this year. We used the Texan as home base. Not much to do at the Resort. The fish didn't bite for us and there is limitted hiking. The small town was enjoyable for an afternoon. We are looking forward to seeing more of Gunnison & perhaps Almont, Co. The jeep rentals are the way to see Colorado at it's rugged best!!
