We loved the short stay here on our Colorado vacation. It was the perfect spot to unwind.
Very clean and nice amenities especially the pool. Very close to town for anything that is needed but private and really nice views of the mesa.

Our stay at Palisade Legends was wonderful. The property is brand new and the amenities are high-end. The location was convenient for wine tasting and hiking. I would definitely recommend booking here.

We stayed at Mesa Sunrise for 4 nights. It had everything we needed and things I pack as an over-prepared mom. They thought of all the little things, the little community was quiet, stylish, and perfect for our daily adventures.

Great stay at this VRBO. The beds were very comfortable and each room had their own patio entrance. It's in a great location to everything and very quiet ( accept for the roosters that got up early). I would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Well stocked, beautiful home in a peaceful setting
Loved all the supplies- well stocked but not cluttered. The kids books and games were a huge plus. The property sits next to a small farm with some roosters which you can hear outside but not inside. Super cute place.

Great location between the wine tastings in Palisades (and Peachtree Distillery) and the hiking, off-roading, and downtown in Grand Junction. The property was modern, clean, and had literally every kitchen item you could need! Outdoor back patio was 1/2 covered, so good for shade or rain. We didn't use the grill or pizza oven, but we did use the hot tub, which was nice. The back patio is very private with solid fencing, although we wondered if in the summer it would lack a breeze (?). Parking is covered, which we appreciated. The bedrooms both have access to the patio which is nice. The shower is spacious. The shower does not offer a spray hose (nor tub), so it would be a challenge for young kids to bath perhaps (?). It was too cold to use the pool, but it looked very nice! We really enjoyed staying here.

Nice Place
Nice area if you don't mind driving further. - Keypad was not set up correctly and had to reach host so that took awhile from check-in. - The bedroom closest to the washroom has a bumpy mattress and needs to be changed out if two people are sleeping on it. - The hot water on demand system is located in the closet, so it can be heard should some use the faucet / shower in the morning. - The neighbour likes to play his guitar the "whole day" and can be heard from all rooms. - There is contruction still going on in the complex so that starts at 700am for digging and drilling - Its not a BBQ but a flat top grill. Needed to use foil wrap to cook a lot of our items. - no local TV, had to use our Netflix, Disney, and Prime Subscriptions. No biggie. TV in every room. Wifi was spotty in the bedroom we stayed in. Pros:- lots of towels and kitchen supplies. - Hot tub, was set at 103, hot and super clean. - Washer / Dryer (can pack less) - Gas Firepit for outdoor lounging - Amble seating and tables for outdoor dining
