Excellent Palisade Stay

This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway to Palisade. The home and gardens are beautiful and well cared for, and it was a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The location made it easy to get anywhere in town and to the surrounding wineries and vineyards.

Great weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay here with 2 friends and their pup! Check in/out was super easy, the kitchen was well equipped for cooking most of our meals, and the back patio was perfect for coffee in the morning. While most of the wineries are too far to walk the proximity to town was perfect. This is a great rental for a couple (or 2) or a small family. We'd definitely stay again :)

Another lovely stay!

This was our second time staying here and it was wonderful again. The two bedrooms easily accommodated two couples, the living room is super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The shower/tub is super easy to use (not sure why people complain about this?!) and the location is great. We will definitely return next summer. :)

Lovely cottage

We had a wonderful stay, the place is charming and was a perfect home base for our trip to palisade. The hosts great notes on the house and beautiful garden ensured we found everything we needed and had no issues. We really appreciated the old-house details and walking distance to restaurants and stuff on the other side of the train tracks. The train was loud but not too often. Thanks Susan and Gary for a great visit

Great place, great location

Fully furnished, conveniently located bungalow located centrally in Palisade. There are two comfortable bedrooms, a great kitchen (we cooked in all three nights we were there), and good air conditioning units. It's easy to find and really convenient to getting to the wineries. The hand-held shower is just fine, too; you get accustomed to showering while sitting down very quickly. We had a lovely time, and will be back to this property.

Enjoyable step back in time

Clean and comfortable home. We loved being able to walk downtown. SItting on the front porch rockers and reading was very peaceful. The back yard has a trellis covered patio which could be a joy to spend an entire evening at if it had comfortable chairs. No TV and no internet; but we aren't media addicted, so that was fine. The air conditioners weren't in the window yet, so my allergies were going crazy as we had to keep the windows open to keep it cool. In spite of these things, it was such a comfortable home that we would gladly stay there again.

As Advertised

We stayed at this property in November for a bike weekend. The property is pretty much as advertised. A few pros/cons: Pros: 1) Owner was quick to respond and pleasant to talk to. 2) Walking distance to downtown Palisade and Peach Street (distillery, winery, brewery). 3) Clean. 4) Very pretty fenced in yard makes it a great property for dogs. 5) Quiet neighborhood with easy parking. Cons: 1) Close to train tracks (as most downtown Palisade properties are). Train goes through a couple times a night. If you are a light sleeper, this could be a problem. 2) As stated in the description, this home does not have a shower (just a tub). This was more of an inconvenience than we thought (mostly because it was hard not to spray water everywhere). 3) Although clean, the home has a very distinctive odor (not pleasant). 4) After cleaning and additional insurance fees, this home is quite expensive in comparison to other properties we have stayed in (in the Palisade and Fruita area). Although we enjoyed our time in Palisade, we likely will not return to this property due to the cons listed above.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar, 2020
Thank you for your comments. Palisade does have trains. My aunt was a light sleeper and always brought ear plugs, so I hope you found those supplied in the medicine cupboard. I'm so sorry and surprised that there was an unusual odor. We have never had this issue before, and I wish you had contacted us during your visit, so we might have had a chance to find out what it was. We're very particular about cleaning, and use the organic lavender hydrosol that we distill on our farm to disinfect. It is non toxic but very effective, and has an earthy scent, very unlike lavender. Some people really like it, but others don't. Usually the scent dissipates after cleaning. We stayed at the house the weekend before, and during cleaning didn't notice any odor. We will be extra sensitive to this issue, and definitely rectify it.

A little to rustic

It’s a great location and cute place, but maybe a little to simple. Susan has been very timely on her responses and we were able to check in a little early too. The yard and garden are beautiful, but would be nice if there was an actual grill instead of an electric George Foreman grill. It was very loud as previously listed but even with earbuds and white noise being right next to the train tracks, dogs howling every morning by 7am and street racing a couple late nights it was to much. The bath with a hand held spray was more difficult to wrangle so not being able to actually shower was unfortunate. I got sick while up there so not having a tv or internet was hard especially being sick and being woken up throughout the night from the train or other noises. It took 2 weeks to get our deposit back after I was told at one week (after I followed up) it would be refunded that day, so that’s a bummer.

We're so sorry that you were sick during your visit. And that you didn't know that we had both a tv and gas grill that were available to you. The house manual on the dining room table explains where they are and how to use them. I'm glad that you contacted me about the deposit. The website changed this year and states that your deposit will be automatically returned within 7 to 14 days. From my end, the website showed that the deposit had been returned on day 14, so I'm sorry if it came later than that. Now I will let visitors who opt for a deposit know that some banking delay may occur.

Cute Little Place!

We really enjoyed our stay at the White Lavender Cottage! It is a really cute place in the most idyllic location. We walked to downtown palisade every day, to rent bikes and for dinner/drinks. The kitchen has all the amenities, and the front porch and back patio are perfect for morning coffee. It was a wonderful little getaway! FYI there is no wifi, a very small TV, only a tub and very near the train tracks.

Downtown Palisade Gem

The yard was amazing and perfect for relaxing with some local peaches and mead and the dogs. It's very clean and comfortable. There isn't WiFi, which isn't a big deal, but it wasn't clear from the listing. You can walk right downtown to lots of local restaurants and shops and vineyards and can bike to even more! I would definitely visit this home again :)

About the host

Hosted by Susan Metzger

Host profile image
I am an artist and teacher. When I moved to Colorado from the Virgin Islands after Hurricane Hugo, I looked at a lot of houses. I fell in love with this one immediately and felt extremely lucky to purchase this home in 1991. I've always loved old houses - and my artwork is of historic architecture.

Why they chose this property

When I married 20 years ago, I couldn't give up this house, I had spent years planting roses and exotic plants - and it had lots of happy memories. When I moved in, the house had the original wooden shingle roof covered with moss, and the original wiring. I only had 6 outlets! I sadly redid the roof in 2002 when it started to leak, and I had the wiring redone and added an outlet in the bathroom in 1997. For 10 years the house was a dedicated vacation rental. Then, last year, my 90-year-old mother moved in. It is a wonderfully accessible location, with grocery, post office and library all near by. When my mother is visiting relatives, we close off her bedroom and reopen as a vacation rental.

What makes this property unique

Few of the houses in Palisade have as many original features. Sash windows, pine floor, high ceilings, wooden pantry. The entry to the basement is a trap door. And a bubble bath in the original clawfoot bathtub has been a constant pleasure. Enjoy a quiet old fashioned pace of life.
