Farmhouse Paradise!

My family and I really enjoyed our time here! The house was clean. Everything was perfect. The house is so big too! We had plenty of space plus some. Would certainly stay again next time I’m in Fruita.

1-10 CAV 50th reunion

5 Troopers and wives celebrating the 50 year reunion. This place is fantastic !!! Clean with all kinds of room to spread out. We will consider staying here again. We have used VRBO for several reunions in the past. This one is the best so far. I Highly recommend staying here. All 10 of us gave this place a score of 5 stars.

My family and I were so happy with Shady Acres. It fulfilled everything we needed and wanted. It was very close to my daughters house in Loma as well as the wedding venue in Mack. Kristy our host was amazing. She responded to all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner. And when we missed our flight she was so kind to accommodate my family again. We will definitely use the services again on our next stay. Much Mahalo;)

Wedding stay

We stayed for a wedding that was in Loma the house accommodated our party great we just couldn’t get the house as cool as we like to be to sleep and the queen beds were small for our couples and mattresses were too hard for us making us uncomfortable but that is purely our personal preference

Family time

We gathered our married children here. The enclosed yard, and big grassy field gave us the space to play all the activities we hoped. There was more room inside than we expected. We loved being away from crowds and traffic. It turned out perfect for us!!

fruita farm house

this house is huge! it was great to have a bedroom for each member of our group.just to know: the house is dated but very comfortable and it met our needsrooms are large so more folks could stay if blow up mattresses were brought along and could be used to share bedrooms; all but one bedroom is on the second floortv could be upgraded -- it's tiny for the room it's in; bonus room bed is lumpy.only about 10 or so minutes to grocery store and gas; maybe 25 minutes to heart of Grand Junctionlocation is quiet; railroad tracks sort of nearby

Not worth the $$$$

The house is very spacious and close to all Fruita/Grand Junction has to offer. However, the air conditioning vents spewed black particles all over the sheets/bedding and furniture when it was turned on. It was really hot, so AC was definitely a must. Mouse droppings in the freezer. Dirty greasy fry pan in the oven (oven was dirty as well). Cobwebs everywhere. Refrigerator was leaking a lot of water, even though there was no waterline to the unit. When I contacted the management company I was told it was a weekend, so there was not much they could do. I called again on Monday and they said the owners need a new fridge. I was not impressed by the service, nor did I receive any reassuring answers. I travel a lot and use vrbo exclusively. This is the only bad experience I have had renting a place.
