Very nice place to stay with beautiful views!

We loved staying here rather than a hotel. Very relaxing and peaceful. Great place to take our dogs with us as well. Really nice setup and very clean. Would stay again! Would just bring our own coffee mugs, as the ones they had were really small ones.

Fruita is a hidden jem!

The property was absolutely perfect for our 3 night stay with our dogs. Great location, about 1 mile from town. We walk a lot and the dogs thoughly enjoyed themselves. What a property, grass for days. Highlight of the trip was the Farmers Market on Sat am. Great people and wnderful energy. Would stay here again in a min!

Doggie wonderland

This is a very special property and feels so open, comforting and inviting. My dog, Harper met the owner's dogs 9 and 10 and they enjoyed playing together. There is a wonderful easy walking trail behind the property and the ponds are so wonderful to swim in whether you are human or dog! I'm grateful to have stayed here and in fact cancelled my initial plans and booked an additional week because I loved it so much!

Beautiful Private Property

We loved the property and the carriage house. Our kids rode the paved bike trail next to the house. Loved seeing cows out the back window, and we could not smell them. The proximity to the Monument is a huge plus, and we enjoyed downtown Fruita which was only a few minutes away

Nice property, would definitely return!

We enjoyed our stay at this rental property. It was great for dogs, as they had plenty of room to run. It was also conveniently located near the center of town--about 1.5 miles. The kitchen was well-equipped and although we didn't make dinner there, it would be easy to do so. The only thing missing is a coffee grinder.

Our 2nd amazing visit.

This was our second stay here as a home base while visiting relatives in the area. Everything is beautiful here. The views of Colorado National Monument are outstanding. Sitting on the front porch to watch the sunrise, sunset, or the night sky is a vacation all by itself. The house itself is extremely comfortable, well designed, and well equipped. Our dog loves roaming the large fenced-in acreage. The setting is peaceful, quiet, private, and secure. Mike and Kristy are wonderful to work with. This property is especially good for people with dogs, and would also be great for disabled guests as the house has no steps and is wheel-chair friendly. We highly recommend this property.

We stayed for 17 days while my husband was hunting and it was just excellent. The area and town of Fruita are adorable. The property sits right on one of the walking paths making it easy to hop on. The whole area. Is very walkable and the people are very nice. The farmers market in Fruita is an absolute gem and Im sad to have only gone twice. Everyone wants to chat, its a special little place. The property was perfect for our needs, while I didnt realize the owners lived on site and that the shared garage meant other people would be there daily...it didnt matter at all. The owners and dogs are so kind and dogs well.behaved they were all a pleasure to be around. The dogs LOVED the pond. The bed runs hot and the pillows are just ok but the place had everything we needed. So wonderful and very safe feeling.

Relaxing

Absolutely fantastic stay! This property is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy sunrises and sunsets. The views were simply stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for morning coffee and evening relaxation. The outdoor seating area was an ideal spot to take in the natural beauty, and the tranquil surroundings made it easy to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. The house itself was spotless and well-appointed, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the living spaces were cozy and inviting. Our dogs had a great time too! The property is very pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to run around and explore. It was such a relief to find a place that welcomes dogs with open arms. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a base for outdoor adventures, this Vrbo rental has it all. We can't wait to return!

Great place. Some issues

Home great and location awesome. We were disappointed that the owners dogs were out 2x and we had to bring our dogs in as they came over to our rental area and on 1 occasion came after our dogs! Also watering great for grass but often so wet we were walking in water and at times limited our activities. We decided to leave a day earlier after several people came in to common garage attached to our rental. We were given access to garage but not comfortable with fact that 3 people accessed on the rental property without any notice to us. Felt unsafe due to access issues! Very disappointed in Communication related to former. ! Joani
