Cute House

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. It's an old house, but it's been extensively renovated. Being able to bring our dogs was a huge plus, as was the fully fenced in back yard. Other than having the wrong filters for the coffee maker, the kitchen seemed to be well stocked and furnished with newer appliances. Beds were a little soft for our liking, but we slept well. The king sized bed is tucked into a nook, making it a little difficult to get in and out of, but there's really nowhere else to put it. We liked the mini-split heat pumps, the on-demand hot water and the heated floors in the bathrooms, giving us the ability to control the temperature in individual rooms and spaces. Nice neighborhood, plenty of sidewalk to walk the dogs and it was a short walk to "into town".

Charming home in convenient location

This home is sold as a one bedroom or three bedroom, as two can be locked off. I accidentally booked the larger unit when i didn't notice the different options on VRBO. Be sure to check when making your reservation. Other than that, everything was smooth and easy, unit was clean and week supplied, and the channing home is within walking distance to town. Great stay!

Senior Concert trip

We stayed at the Atchee House for a long weekend to attend our daughter's senior recital at Mesa. This house was very comfortable, warm, and friendly. The neighborhood was quiet and close to downtown coffee shops and restaurants. We would plan another stay at this house in the future and now hesitate to recommend it to friends.

Fruita Base Camp

Nicely appointed house with room for our family of 5 adults. Right in the heart of Fruita, the lush, shaded back yard was a great retreat after a day of mountain biking, road biking, hiking, or kayaking. Great kitchen and dining area for meals in. Great patio and grill for meals outside. Walkable to everything in Fruita! Beds and baths all crisp, clean and comfy. Bike shed held our seven bikes plus the two provided with the house. Can’t say enough about the house *and* the great communication and responsiveness of the owners.
