About this property
The Moon House. Come mingle with the stars.
The Moon House is situated off of Highway 133 on one of the oldest Orchards in the Valley (the Linman homestead est. 1910). The Moon House is the perfect getaway for travelers that are looking for a little more space, elegance, and amenities. Relax, unwind, and enjoy the views of the West Elks and the night sky on the covered porch with fire pit. The house telescope lets you explore the galaxy and the soaking tub is a perfect nightcap to your hikes and wine tours. Bring your friends or family for an unforgettable Western Slope adventure. Book now to guarantee your reservation! The 3 acres allow enough set- back from the highway and the neighbors (Pitt Construction and Thistle Whistle Farms) to enjoy a peaceful fire on the deck. Park up to 5 cars in your private driveway. You are free to roam and pick your bounty from the 7 Red Delicious apple trees right outside your bedroom window. The entrance has 6 stairs with railings on the front deck. The Master bedroom is complete with a memory foam king bed and reading nook. The Master 5 piece bath has a separate shower and soaking tub with bath salts and bubbles.
Each of the other bedrooms have comfy queen beds with Smart TV's loaded with tubi, Netflix (with your own password), Roku, Sling, and a plethora of other channels. Each room has its own LED Moon light with different setting that can be operated with a touch of a finger. The shared bath has a tub/shower combo. There is WiFi throughout the house and yard so you can handle your emails anywhere on the property. A backyard (50'x100') is fully fenced for a private space to throw the frisbee. Dogs are allowed with a pet fee (see the DOG RULES below.) No smoking of any kind is allowed in the house. Access the home with your personalized key code that will be sent to you a couple of days before your stay. We are happy to leave you in peace or be your information guide to this amazing valley.
Guests are welcome to access any part of the "Moon House" with a fully equipped kitchen (pots, pans, blender, toaster, dishwasher, and microwave oven are all there to cook a feast for your family and friends). If you'd rather cook and eat outside, the gas grille and fire pit table are all yours to use too! The house telescope is easy to move, maneuver, and use to soak up the night's sky. You are free to pick as many apples that you'd like from the 7 apple trees on the property. The one car garage with automatic opener is perfect for protecting your vehicle or outdoor gear. Alexa, a Smart Speaker, is fully loaded with any song or album request you may have. The breakfast nook is outfitted with Cards Against Humanity, puzzles, "Shoot the Moon", and playing cards. All smart TV's are loaded with tubi, Netflix, Hulu, Swing, HGTV and a plethora of other movie, music, and kid's channels. The laundry room and detergent and softener is all yours to use so you don't have to go back home with a bag of dirty clothes. A high chair and Pack-n-Play are on site so you don't have to worry to pack these for your little ones.
Hotchkiss, Paonia, and Crawford are all designated as the "North Fork Valley Creative District." You'll find art galleries, wineries, and Colorado's largest Organic Farm region within a short drive of the Moon House. Delicious orchards (8 mins away) offers local wine and cider along with live music and local produce. PJ's Pub, Pat's Bar and Grille, and the Saddleback are a 1 minute drive away for nightlife. Zack's BBQ, 133 BGR, The Taco Hut, Coal Train Coffee are also a 1 minute drive for dining out. The Cirque, Louie's Pizza, Edesia Kitchen, Flying Fork, and The Living Farm in Paonia is just 10 minutes away. Take a short trip to Crawford resevoir (20 mins) for a swim with the family. Looking to catch the "Big One?" Grand Mesa with over 300 lakes or the Gold Medal waters of the Gunnison River are at your fingertips. Take the West Elk Scenic Byway for a day adventure and tour Crested Butte, Gunnison, Paonia, Crawford, Montrose, Delta, and Olathe (don't forget to pick up some sweet corn). Take a hike around Needle Rock (15 mins), know as a very sacred site to the Monk's and indigenous tribes that once roamed here. Eagle rock trail is 15 minutes away for an easy hike with the family to see one of the oldest shelters in the United States. Your adventure awaits so book now!

About the host
Hosted by Chadwell
I am a Colorado native that grew up in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. I am married to my best friend, Carissa, and we now have a wonderful son named Robert (who is also my best fishing buddy). I grew up fishing, hunting, and camping and absolutely love any adventure that involves the outdoors. My wife, brother, and I own and operate a craft brewery and also know how to make wine. The North Fork Valley and Grand Mesa have held a special place in my heart since my youth and now my family gets to live and grow in this spectacular setting. I like to read and make it a point to continue to learn every single day. I love meeting new people and sharing adventures and can't wait to introduce myself you you!
