The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Remove personal items and remove leftover food and drinks
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
:-) If the house has garage door openers, can you make sure to put them back on the kitchen counter?
:-) If you used the sofa sleeper, can you please take the bedding off before closing it up? It's fine to just leave on the floor in a pile!
:-) Can you help us with energy conservation and set the Heat or Air Conditioning Thermostats back to “Regular Schedule”, shut off the lights and close the windows before you leave?
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

We had an awesome week in Fruita at the Black Bear IV. The house is spacious, clean, and perfect for travelers with pets. Our dog loved playing frisbee and lounging in the big backyard. Neighborhood is quiet and it's super easy to access all of the trail systems around Fruita. Highly recommend.

Spent part of our Spring Break in Fruita to take in the trails and activities. Excellent home with all of the amenities, and centrally located to the National Monument and multiple trail systems for mountain biking and hiking. Would definitely book again.

Thank you for your kind words! We are glad that we were able to provide a space for you and your family to enjoy such a nice weekend!
This home was in a very convenient location and had even more space than expected, so it was perfect for a family holiday get together. Being pet-friendly, with a fenced in back yard, made this a perfect choice that may become an annual tradition!

Stayed at this Fruita house for a week with friends. Great house with lots of room for several adults, large two car garage. The minimal light pollution allowed views of the Milky Way and meteor showers-awesome. Great spots outside and in to gather and hang out. Make sure to visit Grand Junction a few miles away. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Our local and out-of-town family of 6 (plus dog) came together over the Christmas holiday for a wonderful stay at Black Bear IV. The house was immaculate, roomy and well stocked with necessities. The location provided easy access to the numerous outdoor activities that the area is known for. Definitely a 5-star accommodation!
