About this property

Horsethief Retreat: EV Charger, BBQ & Cozy Patio

Welcome to Horsethief Hideaway!

+ Pet-friendly (cats & dogs) with a spacious fenced yard.
+ This home is dog- and cat-friendly!
+ Home EV charging station, single-phase 240V 48 AMP charger with the SAE J1772 universal plug.
+ Bright kitchen perfect for gatherings, plus a backyard BBQ and patio for starlit dining.
+ Flat-screen TVs in the living room and bedrooms.
+ Convenient garage for gear storage.
+ High-speed WiFi and cable TV.
+ Full-size washer and dryer for convenience.
+ Evaporative Cooling System for desert comfort. (An evaporative cooler lowers the air temperature by passing outdoor air over water-soaked pads and then pulling the cooled evaporated air into the home. Evaporative cooling systems can be used effectively in the dry desert air of Mesa County. Operating instructions are included in the home but do require a window or two to be cracked open to allow for circulation. This cooling effect will achieve similar home temperatures to other forms of cooling; however, the air may feel more humid and be louder (due to the fan) than refrigerated air units.)
+ Located in Loma, Colorado - just 5 miles from downtown Fruita attractions, festivals, and more; 1.5 miles to the Kokopelli Trailhead, Riverfront Trails, and Loma Boat Ramp; and only 6 miles from the Highline Lake State Park and Recreation Area!

The house was modern and clean, friendly to all kinds of travelers and easily accessable to our surrounding areas. The house may seem smaller from the outside but the inside is beautiful and the backyard and porch are so relaxing and comfortable. Thank you for such a wonderful stay and all the Dino Museum treasures! We found some board games as well when we were leaving, such a perfect touch for family time!

Quiet, Extremely Clean, Great Location

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The home was well stocked and met all our needs. The comfortable king size bed, fenced backyard, garage, full sized laundry room, grill and plum trees were all added bonuses to this tastefully decorated home. The location is great too. I highly recommend staying here!

Cute little house

We rented this property as an impromptu getaway to avoid the neighborhood fireworks that give our dog anxiety. The back yard was perfect for her and the location was very easy to get to. We had some issues with the evaporative cooler the last day of our stay and left early to escape the heat, but that aside, it was nicely appointed. We liked the dog photo album and thought that was a nice touch!

Relaxing Fruita getaway!

House was perfect! Stocked with everything we needed to hunker down and relax! Lucy loved the doggie door and the big back yard :-) It was hot (4th of July week), but the house stayed comfortable with the effective whole house cooler. We both slept great on the comfortable king-size bed. Scenic views and interesting activities close by. Did a few day trips and sampled the local fun too! We highly recommend Horsethief Hideaway! Hope we can return soon!

Rural Gem

This is a great place to stay in a rural setting but that is very convenient to town as well. For us, the best part was that it featured a nice, moderately-sized, very secure back yard for our dogs that they could access through the large (for all but giant breeds) doggy door at the back door. The tall, sturdy wood fence was also a deterrent to barking temptation since they couldn’t see out…very private for both us and our furry friends! The house is nicely updated, well-furnished, has good wifi and TVs in both bedrooms as well as the comfy living room. There is also a nice kitchen and separate laundry area. The 2 bedrooms both have separate sitting areas and are located one up and one downstairs which provides privacy too. For a small group that doesn’t need a 2nd bathroom and who are traveling with dogs, this place is ideal! The icing on the cake is the garage that can be used for your vehicle, accessible from the enclosed back yard! We loved this place!!

Great overall experience. Minutes from Fruita, Kokopelli Trailhead, and Highline State Park. The house was very well kept and the extra secure storage in the garage was great. Enjoyed our stay very much. Fenced in yard to let the dogs roam while out was very nice. Perfect get away pad.

Thoughtful Touches

We loved this adorable place! Clean and newly/completely renovated. It is not mountain biking season quite yet as I am sure the trails are muddy. Perfect place once things open up. We had a great time hiking at Highline State Park, just a few miles north. Great dinner at Cattleman's Bar and Grill about a mile away. Thank you for sharing your home!
