About this property

Events, Large Groups, Campers - Stay in This Historic Farm House!

This property has a long history in the Grand Valley! The farm was used as a day camp for 32 years. Since 1965 children have been, and still are experiencing Moon Farm through their field trips. A pumpkin patch was added in 2011. The farm house was converted into the ultimate vacation rental in 2013.

The large farm house has four bedrooms and two baths - all newly renovated for your stay. It will sleep 12 in beds.

Combine that with VRBO #954542 (2 bedroom,1 bath) on the same property, the large camping area (outdoor bathrooms and showers open seasonally from April 1-October 31) and you have a property that can accommodate your group of 25+. Imagine staying in one place, having a kitchen to cook in, an outdoor fire pit to enjoy in the evening and a beautiful property with grass and shade to enjoy.

Not only are you renting the vacation rental, but you have the opportunity for special events at our Moon Farm property. Guests have been the host to small weddings, family reunions, large birthday parties and more. There is an extra charge to rent the Moon Farm property for these events.

You cannot get any closer to the 18 Road mountain bike trails, ATV area and shooting range. It will take you less than 8 minutes to get to the trailhead via car - and less than 5 minutes to get to downtown Fruita.

If you are coming with children, there are endless things to keep them busy during the day. The farm is still operating and they can visit the animals, explore the many cultural buildings on the property or museum collections. Visit us in October when we have our pumpkin patch, themed corn maze and haunted straw maze up and running. It is quite the experience! Whenever you come, this is where you want to stay!

Over the moon at Moon Farm

Great base camp for riding! Host was very responsive and toured us around the very large, beautiful, and curious property. I’ll be telling stories about Moon Farm for quite some time!

Amazing location for large groups!

We came out for a Westwater rafting trip, and this was a great place to stay! Close enough to the put in, great size, and plenty of space for multiple vehicles and trailer with rafts. Clean, quiet, lots of space! Would definitely stay here again!

Moon farm

We went to grand junction to the drag strip. Needed a place for 11 people to stay. The home has so much character. Very clean and hosts were extremely nice and welcoming. Although we didnt stay much due to our schedule it was a welcoming home with old charm.

July stay for 3 families

This was an amazing stay. Great, great property. Have everything you have to experience comfortable, enjoyable and even educational vacation. Location is great, house is more than comfortable, with necessary amenities. Had fire pits and other things...we had 4 kids age 3-10, they loved it and our teenager did not complain what never happened before. Owners are amazing, attentive, and responsive to a minute. Great experience and we all hope to return there soon.
