You will feel welcome and comfortable in this beautiful home away from home.The house is lovely and clean. The location is perfect, especially if you enjoy walking to town. The host's special touches are obvious everywhere you look. The backyard is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee and/or enjoy a cozy evening fire. We are so happy we chose the Sunshine Cottage and I am sure you will be too.
Such a cute and well-appointed home! We absolutely enjoined our stay and appreciate the thoughtfulness behind how the host has stocked and organized this house.

Awww😃. Your review is so kind. And it’s exactly what we strive for. The cottage is not a business for me. It gives me great pleasure to provide a place for others to spend time away from home where they can relax and enjoy little things that mean a lot. I hope you’ll return.
We loved this cottage. It truly felt like home. It had everything we needed, and more. Very clean, very comfortable, wonderful bed, and, fun, cute furnishings. I would definitely recommend this cottage. I hope to return one day.

Hello Frank, I’m so glad that you enjoyed your stay. We strive to make it feel more like a home and add some fun things as well.
This was such a lovely cottage! Every detail was thought of! Loved being able to spend time in the backyard and enjoy the fire pit at night! Walkable to so many restaurants! Can’t wait to return next summer!
We had trouble accessing the property. We finally connected with the host and were able to get in. Once she knew we were having trouble, she was very responsive. Other than that the house was super cute and very nice inside. I would stay here again!
Very well maintained cottage just minutes walk from downtown Grand Junction. Everything about our stay was perfect, and our host was proactive and responsive in all communications before, during, and after our stay. Highly recommended!
Charming, spacious, clean, nicely decorated, comfortable, kitchen fully equipped with everything you need, comfy beds and a great backyard to have your wine and enjoy the scenery. I would stay here again!
The house was a great stay for our family as we visited attractions from Moab to Grand Mesa! Clean, fresh home in a quiet and cute neighborhood with many remodeled homes.
Loved this charming home! Would highly recommend. The location is great, 4 short blocks to the historic downtown. The owner was very responsive. House was very clean and the owner has included several thoughtful touches throughout. Also has a great outdoor space where we had a few cornhole matches. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks, Carole! Hope yoou'll come back and stay soon.
The cottage is adorable. We spent a lot of time in the morning and evening out back. It was so peaceful and I had to take pictures of the gardens for ideas in my space at home. Highly recommend this cottage.
The Sunshine Cottage was clean and comfortable. It was in a great location and had everything you would need.
