Beautiful Private Property
We loved the property and the carriage house. Our kids rode the paved bike trail next to the house. Loved seeing cows out the back window, and we could not smell them. The proximity to the Monument is a huge plus, and we enjoyed downtown Fruita which was only a few minutes away

Great place. Some issues
Home great and location awesome. We were disappointed that the owners dogs were out 2x and we had to bring our dogs in as they came over to our rental area and on 1 occasion came after our dogs! Also watering great for grass but often so wet we were walking in water and at times limited our activities. We decided to leave a day earlier after several people came in to common garage attached to our rental. We were given access to garage but not comfortable with fact that 3 people accessed on the rental property without any notice to us. Felt unsafe due to access issues! Very disappointed in Communication related to former. ! Joani

Relaxing
Absolutely fantastic stay! This property is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy sunrises and sunsets. The views were simply stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for morning coffee and evening relaxation. The outdoor seating area was an ideal spot to take in the natural beauty, and the tranquil surroundings made it easy to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. The house itself was spotless and well-appointed, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the living spaces were cozy and inviting. Our dogs had a great time too! The property is very pet-friendly, with plenty of space for them to run around and explore. It was such a relief to find a place that welcomes dogs with open arms. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a base for outdoor adventures, this Vrbo rental has it all. We can't wait to return!

Enjoyed it!
We had a good time staying here. We especially liked the flatness. The house is roomy with no clutter to stub your toe on. It has good lighting inside and out. It's in a really good location - close to restaurants and shopping and I-70 and the National Monument. Be prepared for round-a-bouts. Kudos to the shower...the best I've had in a rental. Be patient and wait for the hot water though, it takes a few minutes but it does get hot. Grass is really green and lush, mowing is early Thursdays, starts just after dawn. We saw horses, cows and heard a donkey in the evenings. The nature path is active and the neighborhood comes alive at night. I have two negatives... 1) the welcome basket goodies were old and stale. Nice idea but keep it fresh! 2) there was a dead cricket like bug in the master bathroom under the cabinet ledge when we checked in and several string wads on the floor. We left a menu to Camille's Kaffe in the welcome basket. We recommend it. No place is ever perfect but this little rental place is awesome. I enjoyed it. Thank you Kristy & Mike.

My husband and our dog had such a wonderful time in this very special place! We have long wanted to explore the National Monument, Grand Mesa and McInnins Canyons and the Carriage House served as a wonderful hub for our adventures. Very wonderful place to sit and enjoy a nice beverage after a long day of exploration! Our dog really loved the amazing grounds and pond! The Carriage House is truly special and well cared for! Very clean, well appointed and great vibe at this special place. We are so glad that we found this slice of heaven. We wanted for nothing and will certainly return!

Better than the pictures
The excellent design of the cottage makes it seem larger than 800 sq feet. Everything was in great shape. There was even a welcome basket. No close neighbors. My allergies hit and we realized it was cat fur/dander and vacuumed under the bed, which fixed it. We did have to tote the garbage 1/4 mile when we checked out, but we just drove it out. Overall loved it and would definitely stay again.
