About this house rental

One of a kind 4BR 3BA 5,200 sqft home. Stunning views of the CO Ntl Mnt and entire Grand Valley. Our grandpa, a home builder, designed this rustic house as a masterpiece for his family. He wanted it to be part of nature, so he fit it between trees and inside left exposed the massive sandstone slab on which it’s built. Experience nature but less than 15 minutes from downtown. This large house has entertained our family and friends for generations, and we’re thrilled that now you can share it with yours, too. This is our only rental house, so you'll be sure to receive dedicated service!

---------Home Description----------
Our grandpa designed and built this unique home in a way that captures the rugged terrain on which it sits and compliments the stunning natural beauty of the Colorado National Monument that serves as the backdrop. He made it so every room has its own stunning view. Look closely at the photos to see the rock and wood detail throughout. The sandstone slab of the hill on which it’s built actually makes up the entire wall of the downstairs family room and the floor of the room above. Grandpa had artistic vision, creativity, and the craftsmanship to put it all together and he built this house from his heart. (He was still building furniture for us well into his 90s!). It has served as a cherished place for family gatherings, and we invite you to enjoy your vacation the way we have enjoyed this home throughout the generations. Have breakfast in the kitchen or on the upper deck, while enjoying unobstructed views of the Colorado National Monument and the way the morning sun hits the red rocks. Spend evenings watching the sun set over the Bookcliffs and the Grand Valley. During the summers you might catch a lightning storm over the grand valley as the thunder echoes off the massive canyon walls behind the house. Or use our BBQ to make your meal on our giant deck while taking in the views. Take leisurely walks through the neighborhood or drive/bike to get to everything that Grand Junction has to offer. (See list below!)

While most of the home furnishings are rustic and cozy in a way that preserves the years of fond memories, we made sure you had enough upgraded guest amenities to make your stay as comfy as can be: we just remodeled the showers, we have hotel-quality linens, plush towels, and plenty of toiletries. You get to enjoy a vacation with maybe the most gorgeous views in the Grand Valley, in a house full of charmingly-old stuff spanning generations, but you still get to sleep as if you were staying in a great hotel. Please note that we sometimes need to water the outdoor plants.

------PLEASE NOTE-------
We try our absolute best to keep the house clean for you and all of our future guests. For this reason, we ask that you note our rules for no pets and no groups or gatherings of over 10 people. Unfortunately we aren't willing to bend on these rules and will have to say no to any exceptions (best not to ask). Thanks!

As our home is on three levels and on a hill, it has stairs to the front door and then staircases to the second and third level. Please take this into consideration if anyone in your group has mobility limits.

We do have a ring camera outside the front door. There are no cameras or any kind of monitoring equipment inside our home.

Should you need to make a last minute cancellation, this is our policy: As soon as you cancel our calendar opens up for rebooking. If a day (or days) you booked is rebooked, we will refund the amount we would have made on that day (or days). If no days are rebooked, unfortunately there will be no refund. Thanks for understanding.

Folks have said the pics don't do it justice and they are right! This is the loveliest, cheerfully kitschy, uniquely rustic style home we've had the pleasure of staying in. It was clean and stocked well. Rooms to comfortably fit all 6 of us. There was something to see in every room. Gorgeous views everywhere you look! Property mgr/owner met us there to go over the quirky heating and cooling which just ads to how much I love this place. The owner was super responsive upon booking and any questions we had. We come every year for a birthday golf trip. We played Redlands Mesa, Tiara Rado and Devils Thumb. Perfect place to stay and we WILL be back to this home! Thank you for making the trip that much better!

And I mean wacky in the best possible way! We stayed as few groups of families in early May and there was more than enough space for everyone including multiple beds/bedrooms and a shared full bathroom on each of the 3 levels. The house was VERY eclectic with 70's style patterned wallpapers and something new to discover each time you entered the same room. The listing photos are accurate but don't do this house justice in portraying how unique it really is. The views of the surrounding landscape and Colorado National Monument were immaculate! We spent a lot of time on the giant outdoor deck enjoying the spring sunshine and amazing views. The location was great, easy to get to Grand Junction and to Palisade for wine tastings. The hosts were some of the nicest and most communicative hosts of any vacation home I have ever stayed in. Highly recommend this rental for bigger families and groups that aren't afraid of some wacky decor and wallpaper, if anything else you will be entertained by the charm of this home and its amazing history!

When I look to stay someplace, I am hoping for a unique experience in a great location, and this fantastic rental delivered. No "cheapest-Ikea-furniture-we-can-find" experience here; authentic, clean, perfectly located against the backdrop of the Colorado Monument, close to Lunch Loops MTB, and one of a kind.
