The Carriage House Studio: Central Modern Comfort

In the very heart of the Grand Valley, this former carriage house is almost equal distance from Palisade’s wine tasting, as it is to Fruita’s world-class mountain biking. This studio is minutes from CMU, Lincoln Park, the award-winning Redlands Mesa Golf course, the Tabaguache Trail system, the botanical gardens, and a walk away from the Mesa County Public Library, the Convention Center, two parks, the historic Avalon Theater, and several churches. Beautiful Downtown Grand Junction is a four-block walk, featuring the Farmer’s Market (June-September), abundant sculptures, several local dining hot-spots, unique shops, gelato, and several other events year-round.

This remodeled studio boasts a good-sized kitchen, concrete countertops, large kitchen sink, ambient yard area, and has been thoughtfully decorated and appointed in a modern yet comfortable style. It includes a queen bed, closet, table that seats up to four people, sitting area, office supplies, oven, refrigerator, microwave, window air-conditioning unit, shower, and a fully stocked bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer. For entertainment, there are books, netflix instant service, a flat-screen TV, board games, and high-speed internet. Relax in the hip yard, which features sails for shade, string lights, grill, and a table and chairs.

The Carriage House Studio is just north of another vacation rental cottage, Gray Gables. Large groups can book both properties, and be close to each other. Keyless entry provides ease of checking in, and a comprehensive handbook provides abundant information about local resources to enhance your stay. Last-minute weekday discount may be available – contact the owner for details.

Whether you’re visiting to ski or hike the Grand Mesa, largest flat-top mountain in the world, hike the beautiful Colorado National Monument, wine taste, mountain bike, for a CMU event, JUCO, or whatever brings you to the Grand Valley, this studio is in the heart of it all!
