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!

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 foray

Host was very well in communication and very responsive. Enjoyed the stay at the farm and seeing the animals. Talked with host and loved that the rental money for tge farmhouse feeds back into the property as a non-profit that helps families with special needs. Recommend staying there. Hosts are very gracious and rental income goes to an awesome cause.

Great place to stay for mountain biking!

This is our second stay at the Moon Farm. Stayed at the bunkhouse first time and the farmhouse this time. We had 10 people for the farmhouse and all fit very comfortably. We didn't even run out of hot water with 10 guys showering after biking! Suzanne was a great host and very responsive to our needs.

Cool farmhouse in close proximity to 18 Road biking

Myself and five friends stayed here and enjoyed it. The fire pit in the front yard was especially nice. The kitchen is small but has what is needed.

Great place for kids

We loved our stay at Moon Farm. My kids loved all the things to do and see. I loved the nostalgia of it all. As a Fruita native, it so fun to come back and stay at the place where I had dance lessons as a kid.

Fantastic place to stay with a lot of interesting items around the farm for kids of all ages.

Owner met us upon arrival and introduced us to this unique property. It was clean and the owner inquired if we needed anything just often enough. Great place for larger groups. Owner was fantastic and a wealth of info on the region. We will go there again.
