About the host
Hosted by Kristy and Mike Driver

Kristy and Mike have been providing property management services for luxury properties for the past 30 years. We fell in love with the Fruita area because of it's year round sunshine and abundance of outdoor activities. Our goal is to make your stay with us 5 stars!
Why they chose this property
We built the Guest House in 2008 on 5 acres of property just outside of the Fruita City limits. The home is perfectly situated to maximize the views of the Colorado National Monument. We enjoy the wide open space, no neighbors and yet just 5 minute drive to town. The houses are surrounded by green grass all summer and makes the hot summers feel cooler.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy 5 private acres with Monument views, a patio with fire pit & BBQ, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TV, full kitchen, bikes, and pet-friendly space! Close to the Colorado National Monument and popular trails, with plenty of space to relax and unwind.
