Beautiful home, well stocked and peaceful setting. Close to Powderhorn and convenient to the small town of Mesa. We loved the visiting dogs and the amazing views. Thank you for hosting us!
This house was well stocked and comfortable. Its location makes it easy for Powderhorn, Grand Mesa and Vega State Park and still very easy to get into Grand Junction. The location is beautiful and quiet.

We appreciate your comments and your stay! Thank you for being great guests and please come back and stay again to experience another season!
Everything you would ever need was supplied. Dog friendly even though we crated our dogs. Great location near Powderhorn which was the reason we were here. Loved the house-it was beautiful. Very clean.
We really enjoyed our stay at Vini's Place. I feel the house actually is much better in person than the photos convey and it looks nice in the photos. The story of Vini and the community is wonderful. The details in the house really make it unique. It's close to everything. You could walk to town, and minutes from Powderhorn and Grand Mesa. It was so nice to have all the wildlife right outside the door. Would love to book again in future
We were attending a wedding at Powderhorn. Vini's Place was perfect for us. Quiet and so accessible to the wedding location. Loved the kitchen and the unique architecture added to the fun stay for us. Could not have asked for any place better. Thank you.
My family and I had a great time at this amazingly COZY and beautiful home. The current owners honor a beloved friend and neighbor in the home with pictures and a story to read about in the kitchen. This was the perfect spot out of “busy” Grand Junction but close enough to make a trip down to town.

Thank you Jacqueline...we are glad you enjoyed your stay!
Kitchen was great! Had everything we needed to cook a few meals. No trouble getting into the house. Neighbors took an interest in us and were friendly. Had so much fun wine tasting, riding around town on bikes, and identifying the birds that hang out in the area. Enjoyed touring Talon winery--the owner, who was very nice, introduced us to his pet Merlin (small hawk). Great visit!
We loved this stay! The neighbors were so nice and when I took my dog for a walk, they joined me and showed me the neighborhood and their garden! Loved the kitchen the most, and the house stays nice and cool during the day when you close the blinds

Emma, thank you so much for your stay and your review! We welcome you back any time!
Loved staying here. We have family in the area and had a wedding in Palisade. It is a cute place and had no issues. Very quiet and cool compared to grand junction. Loved reading about Vini and her story.
Our family had a very nice stay over Thanksgiving at Vini's. There was ample room for us and the kitchen provided a great space for us to cook our Thanksgiving meal and celebrate together! The property was exactly as listed and communication was simple. The town of Mesa had everything we needed when we found we were missing a few items for our celebration as well. We'd definitely stay here again!
The pictures actually don't do the property justice, it is a very beautiful house. Communication was excellent and check in was wonderful. Most of all we appreciate we could bring our fur baby with us. Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time.
The residence is located just south of the town of Mesa on the highway that climbs up the north side of the Grand Mesa. It was clean, well furnished and maintained and relaxing. Questions about the house were responded to very promptly.
The place is beautiful inside and out, and the location is close to hikes at the Mesa Lakes. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. We had everything we needed. It was my 5-year-old great niece's first slumber party, and she was thrilled!
Communication is timely, clear, and friendly.
