Very clean and well designed home! I loved the front porch, we loved the yard and furniture was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was wonderful, everything was updated and VERY clean. Location was perfect. It was nice to be able to park in the driveway too, off the street. We’d stay here again and again.

This house was perfect in all the ways. It had everything one needed. It was clean, decorated well and had so much charm. We loved the front porch sunroom for our morning coffee. The property manager was quick to respond in the booking process with the couple questions we had. We will absolutely book this house (if available) the next time we are in town!

This is probably our 4th or 5th time we have stayed at the Butterfly House while in Grand Junction visiting our student daughter at CMU. We love this precious little house and it is perfect for the two of us. The central location is handy to campus, downtown & pretty much anywhere we want to go in the Grand Valley. We definitely use all of the features in the kitchen as we try to make our own meals at the house instead of going out all of the time. Super comfortable beds. Highly recommend this place for a small group.
