Cute, clean, and comfortable! The hosts were fantastic. We did not have any problems.This is a nice home for family to spread out &/or hang out in the cute back yard &/or BBQ. Parking was easy. Great location! Close to CMU and downtown.2 of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and as is common with older vintage homes, the stairs are fairly steep and may not be ideal for everyone. Luckily, my elderly Mom stayed in the 2nd upstairs bedroom, and it all worked out well.

Our stay was short and sweet as we were there to drop our son off at Colorado Mesa University the following morning, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were able to spend a relaxing evening the beautiful backyard just enjoying the lovely, cool summer evening. The location was also great for going back and forth from campus.

Made our wedding weekend amazing!

We stayed here with our wedding party for our wedding weekend and couldn’t have been happier with the place! It was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed! Connie was so kind and wonderful at communicating with us to accommodate us and answer any questions I had. Loved the stocked S’Mores Bar, cornhole, beautiful primary suite and all of the space to hangout and enjoy our company. Everyone loved staying here and it made the weekend so fun!

Weekend vist

Came out here to visit the university that my daughter will be attending. The house was centrally located within walking distance to downtown which was great. There was plenty of room for everyone and the beds were comfortable. Loved the coffee maker with free coffee! Parking is ample and the backyard is a perfect place to hang out. Highly recommend.

Quick one night visit

Cute property with older home. Bed description called for “2 futons” however those were hida-beds in the coach which wasn’t ideal. One of the hide-a-beds was covered in animal hair. Lastly the door to the master bedroom literally fell off its hinges in the middle of the night.

Fun and Functional in GJ

The house looks deceivingly small on the outside but it seems to go on and on inside. It sits on a quiet street and we were able to take our doggie for nice walks around the area. The remodel of this older property is quite beautiful. They saved the floors and the wood work and it is decorated with up to date stylishness. The kitchen is outfitted with most everything. There were only 3 of us staying here for a few days with son and daughter in law visiting in the evenings. The location is close to downtown and we did walk there one late afternoon. It was a great family get-together home!

About the host

Hosted by Connie and Tom

Host profile image
I grew up in Grand Jct and love all that GJ has to offer. My husband (Tom) and I bought this house because we loved the character of the home and it has turned out to be a great vacation rental. Knowing that guests feel comfortable and are having great family time makes it all worth it! We work on maintaining the home in our spare time. I work full time as Director of Behavioral Health at a community health clinic. Tom works for a natural gas company as a production systems supervisor. We are a blended family with grown children. I like to work with people and Tom likes to do projects so we make a great team!

Why they chose this property

The GJ Downtown Retreat is special to us because it has that old fashioned charm with a lot of modern upgrades. There is plenty of space that can accommodate a lot of people, which is rare for a lot of the downtown homes. The backyard is great for family time with BBQs, playing games and roasting smore's! It is centrally located - so close to parks, lots of sporting events around, downtown shopping and restaurants, and Colorado Mesa University. Not to mention some of the Colorado beauty around - close to the Colorado National Monument and only about 45 min away from the Mesa which is great for skiing, hiking and fishing. Closer by is the Lunch Loop which is great for biking and hiking!
