    Beautiful home in a gorgeous location

    Our time at this house was fantastic! The host was incredibly communicative, helpful, and available as needed with any details about the house itself as well as the surrounding area. Everything in the house was easy to operate and finding it was simple too with the very helpful directions provided to us by the host. We had a great time at this wonderful house and will definitely be back in the future when our adventures bring us back to this part of Colorado. I highly recommend this host and location for a great stay!

    This location was a great spot to relax after days in and around Grand Junction and Colorado National Monument. Good spot to ride bikes from, accessing the bike trails and not on busy roads. Weather was a little colder outside than expected, but there was plenty of space inside for the group to hang out and utilize the kitchen and living room.

    This place is absolutely beautiful inside and out. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. It is away from the hustle and bustle but a short drive to pretty much anything you could want/need. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend too much time here because we had a wedding to go to. But we would love to stay here again when we can spend time and enjoy the retreat! We will definitely be back.

    Fun family getaway!

    We stayed at the property for 2 nights while we were in town for a wedding. The house is well furnished with all the essentials. It’s in a unique location; has a country feel, with farm animals close by, pond on the property, close to the river, and lots of birds. The hosts are very welcoming and ready and willing to take care of any issues, although we had no reason to call them.

    Amazing Getaway

    What a beautiful home with everything your family will need to enjoy each other and have a great spacious home to visit in. We were celebrating our new granddaughter and visiting her auntie, a student at Mesa State with our other kids. Top quality all around, the games, the linens, the VIEWS! Our host was available for any questions we had. Do yourself a favor, talk a bath in the Master Suite. Thank you so much and can’t wait to come back.
