Sweet Apple Cottage was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Communication with Jackie is super easy. The house is cozy and inviting with all the amenities you could need. You're close to plenty of food, trails, and a short drive up to Grand Mesa. Would definitely book again!

It is a lovely cottage, clean, anything you might need readily available, wonderful mattresses for a great night’s sleep, and the welcoming homemade baked goods was a surprise treat.

Quiet getaway close to everything

We had such a great time staying at the Apple Cottage! It was the perfect place for me to work during the week and explore in the evenings and weekends. Located on the edge of town, it was close to everything in town. We will make sure to visit again!

A sweet cottage close to National Monument

My brother & I stayed here for a family event in town. Clean, cozy and comfortable with many small amenities added in.Steps & uneven floor levels make the cottage less suitable for older visitors, but it's quite charming and in a nice quiet neighborhood.

We had a wonderful family stay at Sweet Apple Cottage. The house was cozy and the kitchen was well stocked. We had no problem communicating with our host when needed- she was very responsive and courteous. The weekend we stayed was extremely hot, but with the evaporative (swamp) air conditioning and fans we were able to keep cool. The backyard deck was a wonderful spot for coffee in the morning and a nice dinner one evening. The location was also great for visiting the Colorado National Monument park -- it is a little over a mile from the house to the park's east entrance. We would stay there again if we were in the area.

Graduation weekend

We always love a stay at Sweet Apple Cottage. Jackie is a fabulous host. Her cottage has a warm inviting vibe. It is the the absolute most stocked rental we have ever stayed in. We love the neighborhood as it is so peaceful and quiet. It feels remote but it really isnt. Thank you Jackie for all that you do for our stays

About the host

Hosted by Jackie walker

Host profile image
I arrived to retire in Grand Junction from Atlanta, Ga. I taught 32 years at the college prep Lovett School. My subjects were history and religion courses with Middle Est History and Archaeology as my special interests.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was built in 1941 and remodeled in 2000 . Every day is a wonder to live in this beautiful valley surrounded by The National Monument, The Bookcliffs and the wild horses and The Grand Mesa.

What makes this property unique

Our area is quiet and very close to beautiful endless scenry and culture of the western Colorado and southern Utah. We are 30 miles from the Utah boarder. We are 3 minutes from Trailhead coffee shop for breakfast and lunch and 5 minutes from Starbucks in the Albertson shopping center.
