Very clean property with a nice kitchen and gas grill, which we used quite abit. There is ample off street parking. Nicely landscaped backyard to relax and enjoy the breezes and the birds. Plenty of places to relax, the backyard, front enclosed porch and chairs out front. Walkable to downtown and short drives to hiking and the Monument National park. Very nice neighborhood.

This house was perfect in all the ways. It had everything one needed. It was clean, decorated well and had so much charm. We loved the front porch sunroom for our morning coffee. The property manager was quick to respond in the booking process with the couple questions we had. We will absolutely book this house (if available) the next time we are in town!

Great house in Grand Junction

We loved staying at the butterfly house! The house is nicely decorated and very homey inside. It’s very close to the Lincoln Park (1 block) and Mesa University. The kids loved walking to the Moyer Pool at Lincoln Park. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing.

Great location and house!

This was a perfect place to stay while dropping our kid off for college. Close to campus and baseball field to catch a Jackolopes game. Love that they also had a pickle ball set to go play close by. Everything was great.

Comfy stay in Grand Junction

Nicely remodeled older home in a quiet neighborhood in Grand Junction. Roomy, comfortable (especially the beds and living room furniture) and well equipped. Beautiful kitchen with just about anything you might need, washer and dryer in the basement, covered carport kept the car dry. An excellent value, highly recommended!

Third Time's A Charm

I believe this is the third time we have stayed at this property, visiting our daughter who is a CMU student. We love this little house! It is clean, the beds & bedding are comfortable, the decor is bright & welcoming, the kitchen is well stocked for those who plan to cook while visiting, and the location is convenient to downtown, the stadium, campus, etc. It is cozy with only two bedrooms and one bathroom, but perfect for a couple or small family. I'm sure we will stay here again.

Perfect location and great communication with Kristy! Lovely home and so much nicer than cramming into a hotel room. Will definitely be back!

Exactly how it was described. So charming and loved the decor! Even provided a gift basket with coffee, hiking map and other goodies. Lots of towels and blankets which I loved. I feel like some VRBOs don’t leave blankets for variant temperatures. Back yard was nice! Safe neighborhood. Our favorite part was the porch. Simply perfect!

Made for relaxing

I found this property because I was looking for a place that had sufficient space for my sewing machines and a flat space for cutting. I was not disappointed. We were able to play some golf until the weather put an early stop to it! Quiet surroundings and we could walk to the CMU stadium for ball games if we wanted.

Excellent VRBO!

We stayed at the Butterfly Cottage Saturday thru Tuesday in August 2024. It is an older house that has been updated and is very comfortable and welcoming. The neighborhood feels like one you would want to live in and the house is part of the charm. The house was very clean, well stocked, charming. Very pleasant back yard and closed in front porch that we spent a good deal of time in. We had a hard time figuring out the tv but finally got what we wanted. Next time we travel from Denver to GJ, this is definitely where we will hope to stay. A definite keeper!

Butterfly House

Butterfly house was the perfect spot for our stay. We were able to walk to and from CMU campus daily for the event we were in town for. The house is adorable as seen in the pictures! It was spotless and comfortable. The front porch and living room spaces were so great for our group and we loved the bright kitchen! Everything was so well laid out and such cute decor. The gift basket with grocery bags were nice touches as well as the starter supplies and trail maps etc. Grand Junction and surrounding areas have so much to do and see. Great house, easy access and end of stay routine instructions! We would definitely recommend!
