The Desert Moon- A luxurious retreat w/ amazing patio, shuffleboard, EV charger

Relax and unwind after a day of adventure on the Western Slope with all of the amenities the Desert Moon has to offer. Situated perfectly in a quiet neighborhood, The Desert Moon is a short hike or ride away from the majestic Colorado National Monument, rafting the Colorado River, biking on the Kokopelli trail, hiking the McInnis Canyons, skiing at PowderHorn, or the many shops, restaurants, wineries and breweries of downtown Fruita, Grand Junction and Palisade. Plug your electric vehicle into the Phase II 50 amp Chargeport EV Charging Station in the heated, 3-car garage featuring bike racks and bicycle repair station. Step inside to your private oasis and find a fully equipped Chef's Kitchen with coffee and cocktail stations. Relax and read on the mid-century lounger next to the gas fireplace or recline back and take in a movie on the 65" smart tv with Bluetooth sound system. Challenge your partner to a game of shuffleboard under the neon lit moon. Step outside and take in the fresh air on the expansive patio and cook an epic bbq meal on the 4 burner Weber grill. Enjoy the covered, outdoor dining area, equipped with ceiling fan and roll-down shades with lounge area and propane fire pit. Explore the nightscape as the glittering array of stars and moon bounce off the Colorado National Monument with the in-house telescope. Draw a warm bath, drop in the lavender bath salts, pour a glass of wine and light a candle in preparation of settling into the luxurious beds to rest up for another day of adventure. 2 dog max (with prior approval.) No cats

Great Place To Relax
As I am an OTR Truck Driver. This was a nice place to just relax and chill. The location is not to far from stores or amusement parks. We were able to spend quality time as a family together here. This home makes me want to buy a house and set it up just like the host set it up. Thank you for letting us use your home. Hopefully we can use it again!

Great Fruita getaway
This is a great property. The location is in a nice neighborhood but close to downtown Fruita and all the western slope trails. This is one of the nicest houses that I have rented during any of my trips. We definitely would recommend this rental.

Very Comfortable
This home is in a great location, the beds are comfortable, all the necessary goodies are provided for cooking a meal here, and I really enjoyed the lunar motif. Leaving directly from this house, it is easy to get in a good cycling tour of the area, both out on farm roads and cruising around town and the neighborhoods. Also, McInnis Canyons Nat’l Conservation Area was a great hiking spot. We would stay here again!

Bike trip
We had an amazing time at the desert moon, the place is very clean and had everything we needed ☺️ The kitchen was very well stocked. The host was very easy to communicate with and checked in to make sure everything was OK, but left us alone so we could enjoy our vacation. All of the beds were extremely comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone in our group, this place is dog friendly and our pups had a wonderful time there too. It was a great location, far enough out of town that we were out of the hustle and bustle, but close enough to all the trails we wanted to ride, and had great views of the monument All and all a very comfortable, cozy, wonderful place to be and getaway from the snow ⛄️ to ride some bikes.
