The house location is perfect for walking to restaurants and shops. We've stayed here several times and it always works out nicely for our group. I love sitting on the front porch and saying hi to people passing by.
Paired Ladybug and Atchee (next door) for our 8 person Mountain bike group and had a great stay. Nicely refurbished houses, well appointed, and easy 1/2 mile walk to the downtown shops, bars, restaurants.
We (spouse and friends) had a great weekend in Fruita. House is centrally located making it very easy for us to walk to restaurants, festival and small downtown. Great AC, very clean, cute porch to sit on and watch people walk past.

This was such a cute property and very well maintained. The yard was lovely, kitchen amenities were all there, A/C worked great on such hot days and the beds were very comfortable. Overall it was a great weekend getaway with grandparents and kiddos!

We are very happy that you enjoyed your visit and look forward to having you back in the future!
Came for a graduation and we had such a great time. This home is so comfortable and a good place for a family to have some time together. The yard was so nice to hang out and enjoy each other as well! Everything was perfect! We hope to come again!
We rented the house for a family Thanksgiving. The place was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The weather wasn’t great so we did not get to use the outdoor spaces very much but they were well done and comfortable. Highly recommend this place.

Thank you for your kind words, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, even if the weather was bad!
This was a nice, clean property within walking distance of downtown Fruita. Communication was great for one question we had to extend our stay by a day.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate it!
Highly recommend this rental! Super cute and cozy. Well stocked. Beds are comfortable. Huge yard and great location to hot tomato, best slope and bike trails! Plan to stay here again !
Perfect house for some middle aged guys looking to ride bikes in the desert for a bit. Close enough to walk to downtown but far enough to walk off all those middle aged aches and pains on the way.

It sounds like you had a great stay, and we love to hear it! Come back anytime!
Great location, outdoor space to enjoy meals and close to trails. We had an adventurous and relaxing time!
We did have to clean the grill before use and some other dishes but overall the house was ready to go for us.

Thanks for the great feedback! We'd love to host you again anytime.
The home was perfect for our stay while our son was playing in the Juco World Series. The home is fully stocked and has everything you need for your stay. The location is perfect, short walk to the adorable town of Fruita for all sorts of fun things. We also enjoyed the Colorado National Monument, the Mesa Scenic Bypass and even a short trip to Utah.
Highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much for choosing Visit Fruita for your vacation rental needs, and for your kind words! We look forward to hosting you again in the future! :)
We loved this house and the location. Super short walk to downtown shopping and restaurants. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for us and our three kids. Everyone had a bed which means everyone got along. The lack of door on the upstairs bathroom took some getting used to but we managed. The management company was the perfect combination of checking in to make sure we were happy and then leaving us to enjoy our stay. Thanks for a wonderful week!

Thank you for the 5 star review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Ladybug House! Thank you for staying with Visit Fruita!
Elk hunting trip for the boys/shopping for the girls.
The is the most darling house. We loved everything about it. Communication was like texting my best friend. Super easy. Super clean. Location great. Very well stocked. Our dogs were welcome but you couldn't tell that a dog had ever been in the home. If we go back to this location this is the house I will look for again!

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We can't wait to host you again. Thanks for choosing Visit Fruita!
An eleven day family Christmas get-away was our daughter’s idea, and we are so happy she chose Fruita and one of the Ladybug houses. The beds were comfortable, not firm, not soft, somewhere in-between. Plenty of spices and dishes and cooking appliances. We loved the short walk to the “circle” of town, shopped for presents at the downtown stores, shopped at the local market and met many locals who were so friendly. Went to “Junction” (as the locals call it), hiked to Rifle Waterfall, and went to Colorado National Monument. This location was perfect.

Jan,
We are so happy you enjoyed time with your family at Ladybug House! Thank you for your review! We hope to host you and your family again for future gatherings!
Your team at Visit Fruita Property Management.
We live on the Front Range but have family that have grown up and currently live in the Grand Valley. This time of year is always fun - from Fruita Fall Fest to Color Weekend up on the Mesa.
This house has been a favorite for us as it sits in a convenient area of town and has always provided comfort for us. Our biggest complaint? When we find that the home is not available when we would like to rent it!
We will always try to book here first when we visit The Valley!

Thank you James for the great review! We can't wait to have you back.
We really enjoyed our stay. This house was well appointed and the kitchen was fully equipped. The fenced-in yard was perfect for our dog. This location is close to downtown and a short drive to hiking and biking trails. We had one issue come up and the management company was super responsive. We look forward to staying here again soon.
We loved our stay in Fruita, and were especially impressed with this property. My son commented that this is the first vacation rental that felt like home. We used the bikes that are offered with the rental and rented another 2 for our boys to explore the town. I highly recommend this rental for anyone visiting!
