Beautiful home in a gorgeous location

Our time at this house was fantastic! The host was incredibly communicative, helpful, and available as needed with any details about the house itself as well as the surrounding area. Everything in the house was easy to operate and finding it was simple too with the very helpful directions provided to us by the host. We had a great time at this wonderful house and will definitely be back in the future when our adventures bring us back to this part of Colorado. I highly recommend this host and location for a great stay!

We stayed here for a wedding. Great location between the church and reception. There were a few hiccups with the heat and a smoke alarm, but both were taken care of quickly

Family Christmas

The property was spacious and had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive which we appreciated. We had a great time visiting family in Palisade and hosting everyone to watch the bowl games.

This place is absolutely beautiful inside and out. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. It is away from the hustle and bustle but a short drive to pretty much anything you could want/need. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend too much time here because we had a wedding to go to. But we would love to stay here again when we can spend time and enjoy the retreat! We will definitely be back.

Best vacation ever!

From the moment we arrived till we left was an absolute dream. Our family loved the stay at this house. Everything was as needed to make the most out of our trip. We cooked steaks one night and the kitchen was perfectly set up to do so even with spices and great knives too. The owner gave a great recommendation to try the Mcleans peach icecream- HUGE hit! beads are very comfortable and the space was everything we needed and more.

Relaxing Quiet Spot in Clifton

Very relaxing location with pond in back yard. Huge backyard patio area for grilling and relaxing around fire pit. Owner was very responsive regarding couple of minor issues that came up. Kitchen was loaded with dishware adequate for a large group. Owner needs to request a container for recyclables however.

Great family gathering in the country

We gathered at this property with several generations. The individual bedrooms with private bathrooms was an awesome feature. The beds are comfy. The views here are beautiful, the pond was such a fun aspect. We spent a lot of time hanging out both indoors and outside. Everyone in our group was very pleased with this property. They kitchen was well stocked and there were lots of extra pillows, sheets, and blankets and towels. It was really peaceful and fun being in a farm setting. And hearing the frogs and peacocks at night and in the distance was really fun too. The host is very accessible and responsive and really want to you to enjoy your time there.

Perfect Family Getaway

The house is in great condition and offers plenty of space and amenities for our family. The property feels secluded but you are still only short drive to downtown Palisade. The owners were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the stay.

Great stay with friends

This location was a great spot to relax after days in and around Grand Junction and Colorado National Monument. Good spot to ride bikes from, accessing the bike trails and not on busy roads. Weather was a little colder outside than expected, but there was plenty of space inside for the group to hang out and utilize the kitchen and living room.

Tranquil Country Escape

Beautiful views of the Bookcliffs, river, and East Orchard Mesa. Close to town but felt like a luxurious getaway. Comfiest beds and pillows, and be sure to spend time on the patios enjoying sunrises, sunsets, and the livestock.

Wine Weekend in Grand Valley

A very nice place for our Girls Wine Weekend. An en suite bathroom in every bedroom - such a BONUS! There was plenty of room for our party of four. Hanging out having food and wine on the the back patio overlooking the pond was a delight in the evening. We loved watching the cows near the house. Raoul kept in contact with us throughout to help us with our stay. We hope to stay here again next time we come to town.

Fun family getaway!

We stayed at the property for 2 nights while we were in town for a wedding. The house is well furnished with all the essentials. It’s in a unique location; has a country feel, with farm animals close by, pond on the property, close to the river, and lots of birds. The hosts are very welcoming and ready and willing to take care of any issues, although we had no reason to call them.
