About this property

Stunning 100-acre Riverfront Ranch & Orchard, Close to Wineries, Amazing Views.

Our guest house located on our 100-acre private ranch. The space is fresh and bright, providing a year-round, comfortable and relaxing environment. Stay, enjoy the company of friends and family, and unwind in a natural and tranquil setting. The sleeping options are flexible, with one fixed Queen bed, one King that can be split into Twin XLs, and a Twin or Queen option in the "Sunroom". There are two inviting bathrooms, including the master which has a spacious walk-in shower which is perfect for soothing tired muscles after an exhilarating day in the mountains. The open plan living area is equally well-suited to entertaining or to simply relaxing for a night in, and the kitchen facilities are equal to that of a typical family home. When not in use as a bedroom, the "Sunroom" is an ideal place to relax with a book or simply to enjoy the views of our special cottonwood tree, the birds and the deer that roam the fields leading down to the river. The Guest House has a patio area, with seating, dining table, a BBQ, and fantastic views. We also have a "rustic" indoor storage area for bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and any other toys you'd like to bring with you.

Guests at Palisade River Ranch have access to the trails across the main property, to the river and riverfront, and also the 1500 sq ft deck and screened gazebo down at the river. The riverfront and deck are great areas to enjoy a BBQ or campfire, to play games and to generally enjoy the serenity of our stretch of the Colorado. For those interested in floating the river, we have excellent put-in/take-out access. Guests can also explore our 45-acre riparian habitat, which is a great place to see an array of wildlife. (NB - The Visitors and Events Policy applies to all day/non-resident visitors and fees may apply. Access to some areas may be limited by seasonal restrictions, private parties or other events, and is subject to guests' agreement to a liability waiver).

Palisade ranch

The house was beautiful and had many amenities. The peach farm was fun to walk around and being on the river was nice. We'll come again.

The perfect place for a mix of rest and fun

We brought our family out for the weekend to meet up with our son who attends CMU (only a 20 minute drive). We had everything needed at the house to make great meals and relax. The property is beautiful! I’m not sure who had more fun, us or our dogs. Hope we can be regular visitors.

WOW and WOW

We loved the property and the home. SO beautiful and peaceful. As a fellow VRBO I was very impressed. Fresh eggs were awesome and the owners were so sweet. Home was beautiful! Only thing were the directions. The sign at the end of the road did not have the business name that was stated to be there and very confusing as to where to turn in. A little VBRO sign with an arrow would be really helpful Thanks - hope to see you again!

Spring Break. Well, Sort Of.

It was more of an excuse to go wine tasting. Cameron and Jen have a nice place there. The property was pretty well described. Our 5-year-old nephew got to go collect eggs each day for breakfast. We built a fire in the fire pit and made smores. We had no propane tank, but immediately after calling Cameron he brought one over and hooked it up.I think you would really enjoy the property.

The Introverted Cyclist

We went to ride the Palisade Fruit & Wine Byway, but didn't want to be in the touristy part of Palisade. THIS PLACE IS PERFECT! There is a lovely path from the house to the city park, from where you can launch a cycling journey to many different locations, including the Byway. You can also walk down to a very private location on the Colorado River. The house itself is immaculate and bedding reminds us of Europe. I was so amazed at the hosts' anticipation of every need, I actually went on a hunt for an amenity they forgot and came up empty. Wow! The owners live in an adjacent house and are as inobtrusive as they are charming when paths cross. Their son and large dog occasionally appear on their way to soccer games and patrolling the property. Both are incredibly well-mannered and add to the fun. I would highly recommend!

Adorable place to stay.

This was our second time staying at the Riverfront Ranch guest house. The house is very clean, adorable and has everything you need for your stay. We can't wait to come back next year. There is so much to do on the property. They added a firepit and chairs by their pond. They have chairs by the water so you could relax and soak up the sun.

Perfect location to explore Palisade and Grand Junction

We came to the area from iowa for a family wedding. Our son from La drove up to join us. We wanted a place to stay for us plus our son going to CMU. the ranch house was perfect. Quiet, peaceful, beautifully laid out and decorated. We had enough bedrooms plus a comfy living room, wonderful kitchen and outdoor space. No problems of any kind. Very clean and inviting

Perfect Location!

We had a great stay at Cameron and Jen's place. The house was adorable and had everything we needed. We struggled with the directions upon entry to the property with finding the door to the VRBO at night (can't find the red roof or a pond when everything is black/dark!), but other than that, was awesome. The sheets were so soft!! Sincere thanks.

Great stay for mobility challenged

All the reviews are correct… beautiful property and wonderful hosts. Additionally, I greatly appreciated the accessibility of the property. The parking is very close to the door and only a few shallow/easy stairs into the house. There are wide doorways and a zero-entry shower with handheld sprayer. My only mild criticism would be that the mattresses could have been a little more comfortable. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and quiet. Our teen daughter absolutely loved the tiny toads and other creatures that were around. Great rental and we hope to return.

Relaxing and fun

Beautiful property, clean and comfortable guest house, plenty to do and see at the ranch, and a great location close to activities in town. Wonderful for families. Our 8 yr old loved playing in the pond and fishing. Her grandparents enjoyed relaxing under the shade of the giant cottonwood. Easy bike ride into downtown or the park. Kind and accomodating owners.
