About Kristy and Mike Driver
Kristy and Mike have been providing property management services for luxury properties for the past 30 years. Developing our skills while servicing distinctive properties in Aspen, Breckenridge and Vail.

Kristy and Mike Driver purchased this house in 2008
Why Kristy and Mike Driver chose Northwest
We built the Guest House in 2008 on 5 acres of property just outside of the Fruita City limits. The home is perfectly situated to maximize the views of the Colorado National Monument.
We enjoy the wide open space, no neighbors and yet just 5 minute drive to town.
What makes this house unique
The houses are surrounded by green grass all summer and makes the hot summers feel cooler. The extraordinary views of the Colorado National Monument remind us to take in the beauty every day.

Peaceful Getaway
We really did love our stay, the home was so perfect. Fruita was quiet, just what we needed, took a great hike in the recommended Devil's Canyon and found a few pumpkin patches while venturing out in the area. Definitely would want to come back again. Our dogs love it too, although we didn't let them loose as they aren't fully trained and our older dog is a bit skittish but they had a good time too. Thank you so much.
We Keep Coming Back
We have stayed at this property on multiple occasions. We keep coming back for the following reasons:
1) central location
2) very clean and comfortable
3) allows our dog and she loves the large lawn
4) private and on a spacious lot
5) has everything we need and want (fully equipped kitchen, television for sports)
You can't go wrong in renting this place or any of the other properties owned and managed by the Drivers!
Great house
The house was delightful. Every possible amenity was provided. The yard and setting are lovely also.
Great place to stay
We enjoyed staying at this carriage house. Our dog was able to go on vacation with us. It was tranquil and the setting lovely. We will be back.
Great folks in a cool little town. Cristy and Mike are a great couple with a fantastic property.
I spent nearly a month in The western slope area of Colorado. I stayed in hotels, VRBO properties and even camped in the desert. I have a unique job that requires me to have to prep gear and food for week long excursions into the bush. Renting a VRBO property allows me to have a place that's more like a home than a room or extended stay hotel efficiency can offer. Staying Witt Christy and Mike at the carriage house in Fruita was the way to go. I had myself, my business partner and two 4X4 Toyotas full of camping and recovery gear and enough food for 8 people for 5 days. No way would I have been able to prep from a regular hotel room.
The place itself was fantastic. A decent efficient sized apartment connected to a large garage / barn (carriage house). Ample kitchen for prepping food. All the comforts of home. 5 minutes away from one of the coolest little towns I've had the pleasure of spending time in. If you like great bohiemian style pizza, good coffee and craft beer, go hang out in Fruita. Not to mention the amazingly warm and friendly people and of course the epic mountain biking.
Christy and Mike have a beautiful kept property with an amazing view of the surrounding mountains and Mesa. If you're lucky, you may even get a visit from Valentino, the four legged and very mellow furry resident.
I enjoyed my stay and will return!

Great home away from home...
Loved the carriage house. It was very comfortable and a great place to return to everyday after our day trips to Moab, Grand Mesa, Black Canyon, Ouray and Palisades.
