Wonderful cottage

I just love this place. It is so peaceful, and all the beautiful pottery and artwork throughout the guesthouse is amazing! It’s everything that you would need for a quiet place to relax. The little enclosed dog area is excellent and my dogs thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sweet little getaway spot with all the special details

The house was lovely and comfortable. I appreciated the electric heat pump, recycling and compost. We sat outside to enjoy tea or snacks and listened to the birds and the stream nearby. The local artwork in the house was lovely and gave a nice feel for the artist community in Fruita.

Quaint, rustic place by a little stream. We ordered Indian food delivery and it was delish! Safe, clean, stay. Air conditioning worked great! Lots of light. The dog yard is separate from the house but super easy/convenient non the less. Would stay again!

WOW!! This is one of the nicest, cleanest, cute places we have stayed, and we have stayed quite a few places! So much was provided we really only needed to bring our food! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook, including spices. No oven, but there is a large toaster oven and really, who wants to bake on vacation anyway? The bathroom is really nice and large, plenty of hot water. The bedroom is separate from the main room and bed was very comfortable. Very quite. Karen has done a great job of making the place comfortable. Hope to be back next year!

Idyllic!

Deserts Edge is an idyllic place to stay while visiting the Fruita, Colorado area. The property is like a little hide away. There are trails to explore right out the door, a cozy firepit and, a fenced area for the four-legged companion. Karen, the host, has thought of everything to make your stay most memorable.

This is such a wonderful property so close to downtown and a short drive to mountain bike trails and restaurants. Karen is a lovely host who was super quick with communication and ensured we had everything we needed. The property is full of space for hanging out, walking around and relaxing. We loved our two nights here and would highly recommend this as a place to stay!
