We stayed 8 weeks and the house was great! Internet speed was really good - important to us since we were working remote. Loved the backyard for the dogs. During our stay, the host bought a large outdoor rug to help protect our dogs’ feet from the deck during the afternoon sun and heat. That really meant a lot to us and made the outdoor space even better than it already was.
The house was super clean and very well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Great having access to park in the garage too.
Loved the location! We maximized our time outdoors on weekends and loved the proximity to many great state and National parks. Super convenient to get to Grand Junction too.
Enjoyed the restaurants on the Fruita Main Street.
Highly recommend this house and the hosts!

This little gem is perfect for those with an adventurous spirit! Close enough to downtown for dinner or drinks; far enough out for quiet evenings at home.
The house was very well equipped with all the essentials and very clean.
The small touches made our trip - bike stand - bike theme - local trail maps.
The entire experience was wonderful

We loved our stay at Cherry Pie Holiday III. The setup was great; it was comfortable with lots of space and everything was in excellent shape. Plus, the location was in walking distance to all things downtown Fruita. Big bonus: there were actually sharp knives for cooking—in our experience, that never happens at rentals. We enjoyed the backyard and deck as we battled it out for the title of corn hole champion. And we really appreciated the well-equipped cleaning and storage area for our bikes. The hosts were in touch with us regularly asking if we needed anything (we didn't). We'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Well appointed.

The Cherry Pie Holiday House was appointed with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable by our standards, which is a huge plus. As always the staff of Visit Fruita was attentive and available. I've stayed in their properties before and will again.
