About this property
Exposed Sandstone Slab From Hillside in Home, 5200 SqFt, Amazing Views!
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.

The location was great! Super convenient to town. And very private and tranquil once we were on-site. We enjoyed our stay. Especially the patio after the sun went down.

We're so glad you had a great stay! Thanks for being such wonderful guests.
The house is an unusual layout (lack of doors on various rooms was interesting) but the hosts were brilliant, great location, the way the hosts thought about everything you might need while there (little things in the bathroom, kitchen - general supplies, etc) was great too.

Thanks so much for staying with us, Ronald, and thanks for being such great guests! We agree with you on the water features. Unfortunately they sprung leaks about 20 years ago, and we could never figure out where they were. :(
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The location was easy to get into town or anywhere we wanted to go. It made for a great home base for our Western Slope adventures.

Thanks so much for staying with us! Great to hear you had a nice stay, and we appreciate you being fantastic guests. May you have many birdies in your future. :)
Our stay here was the perfect home base for our friends annual mountain biking trip. It's the perfect get away for a group trip. We have rented this house every time we go to Grand Junction, we love it that much! Nothing like the privacy and views and unique architecture of this house in all of GJ!

About the host
Hosted by Angela Turrou
We live in Los Angeles but we share the house with our parents, who live right down the road and love hosting our guests. We have traveled all over the world and our best experiences have been when we were invited to local homes and got to know the people living there. We hope you get to know Grand Junction just a little bit better- and we know you will be blown away by the views in our unique home.
Why they chose this property
Our grandpa built it and we couldn't let it leave our family! It's just too beautiful of a house. Grandma and Grandpa had always talked about making it into a bed and breakfast, way before VRBO was around, and we're happy to fulfill their wishes.
What makes this property unique
Our guests have told us a few things in particular they love about our home: 1) It's truly unique in what several have called a "funky" way. For instance the house is built around the sandstone slab from the hillside and it protrudes out from walls in the first and second level. 2) Every single window in our home has an amazing view, either of the Colorado National Monument, or the Grand Valley. You can see some of it in the pictures, but really, you have to be there to fully appreciate it! 3) And finally, everyone loves our giant porch. We built it over what used to be a pool, so it's very sizable, and there is nothing between it and the Monument, so you can take in the sunrise with a cup of coffee, or have an amazing BBQ under the stars. Enjoy!
