We recently enjoyed a mountain biking holiday with four couples and had the pleasure of staying at Kristy and Mike's place. From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful, assisting us with the booking process and even accommodating our early check-in request. The house was spacious, with a fantastic kitchen and a lovely outdoor area. During our stay, there was a heat wave so we were grateful for the effective air conditioning. The location couldn't have been better—we could easily walk to every shop and restaurant in Fruita. We highly recommend Kristy and Mike's place and look forward to returning in the future!

Great location and clean. The hot tub and fire pit are so sweet, actually the entire patio was awesome. Well stocked kitchen. An abundance of plates, bowls, cups, silverware and kitchen stuff like knives, cutting boards, measuring cups. Just a well done place.

Thank you for a very well-stocked kitchen and super comfy king bed.

This is a great place for two people or a, couple and small children. I think it would be crowded for more adults.
We really loved the courtyard—used the BBQ and hot tub. Thank you for a very well-stocked kitchen and super comfy king bed. We appreciated the cleanliness and the little extras—starter coffee, etc. We didn’t need Halloween candy with Trick or Treat Street happening, but we really appreciated the thoughtfulness. We had a great time and enjoyed the home!

We had a great time! It was amazing to be such a short walk from town. The hosts had obviously put a ton of thought into everything. It was great to have a storage area for bikes/gear. Loved the enclosed patio area for a shady spot to relax. The hot tub (and everything else in the house) was very clean. Would definitely stay here again.

The convenient location was ideal and we loved being able to walk to stores and shops and restaurants in this cute little town. We were there for Country Jam and it was a quick and inexpensive Uber ride every day. Having a hot tub and the convenient location made it a lovely trip.

My family and I needed a place to stay immediately for Christmas as our initial plan fell through. Kristy and Mike’s response to reserve their location was immediate. Their home was well equipped with all of the essentials. It was very clean and cozy!
The location of the property was so easy to find.
The hot tub felt wonderful after hiking the Colorado National Monument.
The home allows dogs and you would not even know. The home did not smell of animals at all. There was no evidence of any dogs being there.
This clean, quiet home made our Christmas vacation wonderful! I will definitely stay there again!
