Impressive

It was perfect for us. The home was gorgeous and spacious. The main floor can seat over 30 easily. We were in Grand Junction for a family funeral and we were able to invite family & some friends over. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and a few adults wound down late one evening. Great location. Central to everywhere for us.

Family Fun

The house accommodated our family of six (plus the dog) very comfortably. It was exceptionally clean and well stocked with towels. The kitchen included everything that we required for family meals. We particularly enjoyed the jacuzzi and the cozy seating area by the fireplace. The location is close to restaurants, shopping, the downtown area and the airport. It was the perfect house for our family get-together.

Comfy base for enjoying Grand Junction

Very comfortable house with quality furniture and well-equipped kitchen. Lots of common rooms for a group to spread out. Top quality linens and towel. We were a group on a golfing trip. Our tired muscles appreciated the hot tub! Good location. ½ mile to a City Market and about a mile to downtown straight down 7th so lots of good restaurants were available. No reservations about his nice house.

Clean, Spacious, and Convenient

The location of the property was great for us. Our primary objective was to come in and visit with our daughter and son-in-law and got to the Palisade's Wine Festival. Location was very nice. Several places within walking distance (not the Wine Festival though ;-) ). The host was Very Responsive to questions and concerns and helped us navigate how to use the cooling system for several places in the area use a water/fan system to cool the residence. Host was helpful in understanding how to set it properly. We will look into renting this property next year for the Wine Festival.

Great house! Spacious and clean!

We loved the house! Very spacious and clean! There were 8 of us here for a family wedding. Every couple had a bedroom and the 3 bathrooms made it easy for everyone to get ready. We also had our little dog and the backyard was fenced, so easy when he needed to go out. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook. I would definitely recommend this house.

Perfect place for family!

Immaculate large house with everything you need for a great stay. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable lounging and dining spaces. Beautiful fenced in, private yard. Primary suite is incredible! 3 other bedrooms much smaller, so better for a family than for 2 or more couples. Large hall bath perfect for kids to share. Location is very close to grocery and lots of other stores and restaurants.

Great Place for families

We booked this property for a family gathering. It was perfect for our large group. My only complaint is that in the description regarding amenities a BBQ grill is listed. However the only BBQ grill at the property was an indoor style ninja grill. This was disappointing as we had planned for outdoor cookouts. We ended purchasing a small grill while there. The property manager was notified and she was going to change the description so future guests aren’t expecting a traditional grill. Other than ththis small inconvenience this place was great.

Graduation Stay!

Overall great property! The extra amenities were appreciated and perfect for our group. We stay in a lot of VRBO's and these always stand out! Two suggestions, provide earplugs as the late-night drag racing/speeding on Patterson 3 of the 4 nights was horrible and affected everyone's sleep. Also a heads up on the steepness of the stairs - the grandparents struggled with these all stay. Was worried someone was going to fall down them. Would have made other arrangements for them.

3 Stars

The house wasn’t at the cleanliness level that we typically see with premier hosts, we understood this is a dog friendly home but when you show up to a home with stains on the cream rug in the only tv area it just wasn’t ideal. We have a toddler who crawls everywhere which is why it was bothersome. Hot tub was also dirty when we arrived and wasn’t serviced until the next day. Grill was not clean either. The AC was not your typical system and confusing to use. The fan was super loud and had to run nonstop in order to keep it cool in the house. Location was good in proximity to grocery stores and restaurants, the hospital across the street made for loud nights with lots of road traffic. Also dogs that bark constantly in the neighboring homes. I wouldn’t recommend this home to a family with young kids, but would recommend this home to adults who want to see the area.

Amazing!

We came to Grand Junction for our annual girls’ mountain biking trip. This place was amazing! It is conveniently located, has plenty of space for a group including parking, the garage, and spacious rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen and living areas are spacious and very well-appointed. The hot tub was definitely an amazing added bonus! Anna was so responsive and wonderful. I would highly recommend this place!!
