Beautiful place to stay
The property and the town of Fruita were wonderful. We had a wonderful quiet stay and everything was great. My only suggestion would be to have better paper products. Otherwise everything was perfect! Loved it and would definitely come back. Perfect!

Enjoyed it!
We had a good time staying here. We especially liked the flatness. The house is roomy with no clutter to stub your toe on. It has good lighting inside and out. It's in a really good location - close to restaurants and shopping and I-70 and the National Monument. Be prepared for round-a-bouts. Kudos to the shower...the best I've had in a rental. Be patient and wait for the hot water though, it takes a few minutes but it does get hot. Grass is really green and lush, mowing is early Thursdays, starts just after dawn. We saw horses, cows and heard a donkey in the evenings. The nature path is active and the neighborhood comes alive at night. I have two negatives... 1) the welcome basket goodies were old and stale. Nice idea but keep it fresh! 2) there was a dead cricket like bug in the master bathroom under the cabinet ledge when we checked in and several string wads on the floor. We left a menu to Camille's Kaffe in the welcome basket. We recommend it. No place is ever perfect but this little rental place is awesome. I enjoyed it. Thank you Kristy & Mike.

My husband and our dog had such a wonderful time in this very special place! We have long wanted to explore the National Monument, Grand Mesa and McInnins Canyons and the Carriage House served as a wonderful hub for our adventures. Very wonderful place to sit and enjoy a nice beverage after a long day of exploration! Our dog really loved the amazing grounds and pond! The Carriage House is truly special and well cared for! Very clean, well appointed and great vibe at this special place. We are so glad that we found this slice of heaven. We wanted for nothing and will certainly return!

Better than the pictures
The excellent design of the cottage makes it seem larger than 800 sq feet. Everything was in great shape. There was even a welcome basket. No close neighbors. My allergies hit and we realized it was cat fur/dander and vacuumed under the bed, which fixed it. We did have to tote the garbage 1/4 mile when we checked out, but we just drove it out. Overall loved it and would definitely stay again.

Great Base for an Active Vacation
My wife, our dog and I had great stay in the Carriage House for 8 days. It is clean, comfortable and well appointed with plenty of room for a dog to run in the large yard. The views are spectacular. Everything works well, and this was an excellent location for us. We were able to get to great dog-friendly hiking in the McInnis Canyons Conservation area a few minutes from the house, visit the Colorado National Monument (of which there are great views from the yard), and drive 90 minutes to Arches National Park just outside of Moab. We highly recommend hiking the 5-mile Flume Trail in McInnis area. Also, do not miss visits to the wineries and fruit stands in Grand Junction and Palisades.

The Carriage House is even better than advertised.
The Carriage House was amazing. It was super clean, comfortable and beautiful. Nicest dog friendly place we've ever stayed. Property and facilities are top notch. Everything about this place was great. Excellent location, communication and check in were a breeze. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Our dogs had a great time as well frolicking in the huge yard space. It can get pretty hot in Fruita but unit has great air conditioning to chill in. We spent our afternoons at nearby Mack Lake(Highline S.P.). Perfect spot for our dogs to swim and us to enjoy some ice cold beverages. Been to Fruita a few times now, initially for mountain biking but it is a great spot for much more. Do hesitate to book The Carriage House, bring the pups and have the best Fruita stay possible.
