Amazing house, great host!

The house is beautiful and had some really cool art! My pup was a long for the ride and had a nice big yard to run around in. It's located in the heart of Fruita, close to restaurants and shops. It's such a cute town.

Cute place

This place is super cute and clean. We were visiting family so we did not spend a lot of time here. Karen is an extremely nice person. The property is nice because it feels more remote and has a lot of shade trees. Would stay here again and recommend.

Desert's Edge was wonderful. It has a lot of character, was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and well taken care of. Its location was ideal for what we planned to do in the Fruita area. Karen was a wonderful host. She was personable, made us feel at home, readily addressed our questions, gave us good local information, and was dedicated to insuring our stay was complete.

Lovely, comfortable and a few minutes from quaint Fruita center, 20 mns from bigger city Grand Junction. Quiet, ample, private unit, comfortable bath, LR and bedroom, with great bike shed and off-street parking. Impressively spotless, very well lit. The hostess is charming and discreet but entirely available. We are biking Denverites and plan to return.

Sweet little getaway spot with all the special details

The house was lovely and comfortable. I appreciated the electric heat pump, recycling and compost. We sat outside to enjoy tea or snacks and listened to the birds and the stream nearby. The local artwork in the house was lovely and gave a nice feel for the artist community in Fruita.
