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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fruita coachhouse. The views of the Monument were outstanding. The coachhouse was beautiful and comfortable. Everything was just as we wished it to be. We would love to return someday.

Nice little space for a few days.

Top notch! The house and setting couldn't be better. The place is super-sweet and well appointed. Great service from the property manager when called. Snack box was a real bonus too. Will definitely come again.

Nice quiet place to get away. Very cozy

Beautiful! Dogs loved it. Everything you need in the kitchen. Highly recommend!!!

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.

The property was excellent for a couple friends to meet and enjoy the riding and hiking in the area. Thanks

Rental was perfect for our visit with our grandkids! They really enjoyed all the run around room they had. Very clean and well stocked. So quiet and close to everything. Thanks for a great time!

My wife, our dog and I had great stay in the Carriage House for 8 days. It is clean, comfortable and well appointed with plenty of room for a dog to run in the large yard. The views are spectacular. Everything works well, and this was an excellent location for us. We were able to get to great dog-friendly hiking in the McInnis Canyons Conservation area a few minutes from the house, visit the Colorado National Monument (of which there are great views from the yard), and drive 90 minutes to Arches National Park just outside of Moab. We highly recommend hiking the 5-mile Flume Trail in McInnis area. Also, do not miss visits to the wineries and fruit stands in Grand Junction and Palisades.

We have stayed at a couple of their properties and they are sparkling clean and have everything you would need to cook a meal or have a BBQ. Beds are comfortable. They have a great yard for the dog. A perfect and comfortable place to enjoy GJ. We will stay again!

The Carriage House is a lovely property with everything one needs to be comfortable.

The Carriage House was amazing. It was super clean, comfortable and beautiful. Nicest dog friendly place we've ever stayed. Property and facilities are top notch. Everything about this place was great. Excellent location, communication and check in were a breeze. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Our dogs had a great time as well frolicking in the huge yard space. It can get pretty hot in Fruita but unit has great air conditioning to chill in. We spent our afternoons at nearby Mack Lake(Highline S.P.). Perfect spot for our dogs to swim and us to enjoy some ice cold beverages. Been to Fruita a few times now, initially for mountain biking but it is a great spot for much more. Do hesitate to book The Carriage House, bring the pups and have the best Fruita stay possible.

Excellent location. Beautiful space. Thank you

Great location, extra clean, excellent accommodations. Have stayed at the Carriage House on multiple occasions and it does not disappoint.

This place was really great! Super clean, well-kept house that was perfect for a much needed getaway with our pups. Very close to town without being too close. Relaxing porch to watch the sunrise in the morning and watch the sunset in the evenings! Really a beautiful, relaxed place and we had an amazing time. Zero complaints!

Overall this was a nice place to stay. Roomy, clean, dog friendly. The setting was beautiful and set back from the main house. We liked the kitchen and grill and were able to cook a great meal one of our nights. A couple draw backs- it's not clear in the listing, that while the whole property is listed as fenced, it's not secure to let dogs run around who aren't really good about staying around and recall. There isn't a fenced dog area, they must be supervised while outside. (They could easily get though the fences and gates.) Additionally it wasn't mentioned that the guest house is actually half of this barn/garage and the other half is used for housekeeping and maintenance basecamp for visit fruita management. So there are housekeeping and people coming and going and in that space often. Usually they would use the back and side entrance and the noise and disturbance was minimal except for one morning when someone came and parked right out front of the door to fix something on the facade, all the while blasting his car radio program causing our dog to alert, bark and wake us up. It would have been nice to get warning of this or if he could have come later in the day while we were out and about. These two things I wish would have been clear in the posting but for the price and the rest of the accommodations, we really enjoyed our stay and had a great time biking and hiking.

Very pleasant spot with a great south facing patio to enjoy the views of Colorado National Monument.

House was in a fantastic location. The location is quiet and views are great. House layout was perfect with handicap facilities for my mother who is 95 years. She too loved the accommodations. Enjoyed everything and planning to return here when we visit Grand Junction again.

We selected this property for a 2-week October stay while we hiked every day around the area. The Carriage House is immaculately clean with contemporary fixtures throughout, is well-furnished and spacious for two people and two dogs, and is wonderfully comfortable. It was a delight to come back to after a long day’s hike, and soak in the late afternoon sun with a beautiful view of Colorado National Monument through the large living room windows or from the patio. And sometimes it hard to leave for our hike in the morning because the house was so peaceful and relaxing, and we could not peel our dogs away from the cozy sun spots they found. The hosts provided a thoughtful welcome basket with tasty and useful goodies. We prepared multiple meals and found all the everyday tools and equipment needed in the well-stocked kitchen, and appreciated the quality outdoor (Weber) natural gas grill. The location is awesome – on the edge of town for the perfect amount of quiet, space, and privacy, yet just few minutes to shops, restaurants, and the grocery store. UPS will also deliver directly to the Carriage House (convenient for our longer stay). We highly recommend this property and look forward to returning!
