About this house rental
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.

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.

The home and property are lovely! We highly recommend staying here. Extra bonus is being greeted by sweet and kind yellow lab, Charlie.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a great place to stay! Quiet area, but close to the wineries & restaurants. The house has a considered touch - if we wanted to cook, the kitchen is well stocked, the bathrooms supplied with oft forgotten incidentals. The lavender epsom salts were a perfect addition to a much needed soak in the tub at the end of a long hot day! The beds were comfy with soft sheets. 10/10 would stay again!

Quick get together with the daughter we don’t get to see that much. Had a great time at the Big D concert Friday night. The north rim of the canyon did not disappoint. The Moon house was great - Comfortable, well stocked, and way nicer than advertised.

This is a gorgeous location, quiet but only a mile or so from Hotchkiss and 20 minutes from Paonia. It's a big home, plenty of room and everything you need. I did not hear any highway noise, just the sprinklers hitting the siding one morning. Well stocked with condiments. We went to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP and it was only 30 minutes to the north rim. Don't miss it. And such few people, at least on a Tuesday. Great hike on the rim.
The telescope for the moon was so cool.
The owners told me about the Farmers Market on Tuesday night in Paonia and that was fun and delicious to take part in. Convenient grocery stores in Hotchkiss and good places to eat.
I wish the bedroom had some black out curtains but the home was everything you'd need.

We so enjoyed staying at the "Moon House!" As the name suggests, there were little "moon" touches throughout the house from pictures, to a puzzle of the moon and a "Shoot the Moon" game. And, if you wanted to, you could view the real moon through the house telescope. What fun! The hosts, Chadwell and Carissa, were responsive and timely and clear in their communications. They made us feel so welcome without being intrusive and their dog, Charlie, welcomed us and checked on us daily. We hated to leave to come home. If you are looking for a comfortable, quiet place to stay for a few days, look no further. We would definitely stay again!

We’ve stayed in the Moon House several times over the past year while visiting family. The house is large enough to share and the kitchen is spacious and well appointed. The owners are very responsive, kind, and generous.

Tom and I truly enjoyed staying at the Moon Cottage. It was quiet, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We wanted a quiet place to spend time out of the car on our summer road trip and this was perfect. We relaxed during the day, doing a few hikes, and then would go to a winery for dinner and a glass of wine. It was very relaxing for us and our dog,Harley, loved the large yard.

Great spot for adventuring in Hotchkiss and Paonia. Only downside was that you need to drive to get to a walking/hiking trails. Nice having a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Moon House in Hotchkiss. It's a perfect location for visiting the local wineries. The home is very clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. We had everything we needed and then some. We had all the instructions we needed, and everything went very smoothly. We would have no qualms about returning to the Moon House on future trips to the area!

We so much enjoyed our stay at The Moon House. It is a very clean and comfortable property. Our hosts, Chadwell and Carissa, had provided every amenity to make our stay memorable. We liked how the home was decorated in an astronomical theme, especially in regard to the
moon. We highly recommend staying at The Moon House!

The Moon House was a great place to stay for our trip to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. It was very comfortable with lots of amenities and lots of cute decorations supporting the moon theme. The hosts were easy to communicate with and responded very quickly.

Great house, convenient location, and plenty of room to spread out
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the moon house, and found the house itself to be spacious, comfortable, and had all the amenities one could expect including a full pantry, utensils, and cookware. Check in and check out process was smooth and easy and we will return to the moon house next time we visit family in Hotchkiss.

Just perfect
The Moon House was perfect! You can tell the hosts take great pride in preparing for their guests. So many times we've been met with a few towels, 1 spare roll of t paper, 2 laundry pods, a little bit of hand soap... you get the picture. NOT at the Moon House. So well stocked plus plenty of extras... travel toothbrushes, epsom salts, paper products, water bottles in each bedroom, etc. Very peaceful and surrounded by beautiful scenery.
Communication couldn't have been better!! Would definitely recommend.
