About this property
Bookcliff Ranch Casita
The Casita is attached to our home but separated by the two car garage. It is a southwestern style ranch surrounded by alfalfa fields and very large old growth cottonwood trees. The Casita is inside the gated main courtyard wall, which provides security and serenity. There are no neighbors close to the ranch, we are offset from the end of the road cul de sac by nearly 1/4 mile. The pool is located in the backyard of the main house and is suitable for use from Memorial day through Labor day. The wildflower gardens enhance the sights and smells of Western Colorado as well as providing ample food for butterflies, honey bees and Humming birds. Several runs of grape vines line the pasture fence at the back of the property. There are many ways to enjoy walks and bike rides along the Highline canal and local roads as traffic is minimal in our area. Wildlife viewing is readily available, mule deer, coyotes and birds including a family of red tail hawks call Bookcliff Ranch home. On special occassions Golden eagles and Bald Eagles are seen. The Casita is best suited for 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults, 2 of which could share a bed. Additional guests will be charged a one time fee of $35.00.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This property was fantastic. The area is gorgeous and we had a great time relaxing and exploring. Robert was a wonderful host. We would definitely stay here again!
My partner and I fell in love with this place-we consider it in our top 2 favorite places as far as short-term rentals. we love how quiet and peaceful the location is, and the casita was more beautiful than the pictures on the listing. We met Rob, the owner, who is very friendly and helpful. We would love to stay here anytime we are in the area.
We have spent 9 days in the lovely Casita, we had a great time. The house is very well equipped, the neighborhood is quiet farmlands, we enjoyed the sunsets and sights around. Rob was very helpful with everything.
Peaceful casita at the end of the road. We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful private place outside of Fruita. The host welcomed us and showed us around. Everything was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped, beautiful bathroom, nice combined seating and dinner area and a very comfortable bed. It was a fantastic experience.
My husband and I needed a safe, comfortable place to stop on our way moving across country and we got just that! The hosts met us upon arrival and were so kind and hospitable! Comfortable bed, shower, and so quiet! :) would definitely come back!
We had such a lovely time at this property! It was quiet, and the area was gorgeous. Very well maintained, we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
What an amazing weekend. The owner was so helpful as i have never been there before. Gave us some amazing information on some great places to visiting. I will for sure be staying there again.
This was an absolutely great property. The property owner was really nice and more than helpful. I would highly recommend staying here. The grounds are amazing, clean and very relaxing.

Perfect! Peaceful and very charming
The Casita was beautiful and in a perfect location to the bike trails. The owners were so nice and helpful. Would love to stay again sometime. Thanks for a great stay Rob, Krista, Rose, and Olive.
Thank you for the lovely stay. It was very peaceful and cozy for two adults and a toddler. Communication was great, we appreciate the kindness shown towards us. The pool was fun, and the bed was very comfortable.
This is a special place. From Rob being an excellent host just checking in to make sure you have what you need all the way to the amazing natural vista that you wake up to every morning, the stay at the Bookcliff Ranch should be on anybody’s list.
