About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Events, Large Groups, Campers - Stay in This Historic Farm House!

This property has a long history in the Grand Valley! The farm was used as a day camp for 32 years. Since 1965 children have been, and still are experiencing Moon Farm through their field trips. A pumpkin patch was added in 2011. The farm house was converted into the ultimate vacation rental in 2013.

The large farm house has four bedrooms and two baths - all newly renovated for your stay. It will sleep 12 in beds.

Combine that with VRBO #954542 (2 bedroom,1 bath) on the same property, the large camping area (outdoor bathrooms and showers open seasonally from April 1-October 31) and you have a property that can accommodate your group of 25+. Imagine staying in one place, having a kitchen to cook in, an outdoor fire pit to enjoy in the evening and a beautiful property with grass and shade to enjoy.

Not only are you renting the vacation rental, but you have the opportunity for special events at our Moon Farm property. Guests have been the host to small weddings, family reunions, large birthday parties and more. There is an extra charge to rent the Moon Farm property for these events.

You cannot get any closer to the 18 Road mountain bike trails, ATV area and shooting range. It will take you less than 8 minutes to get to the trailhead via car - and less than 5 minutes to get to downtown Fruita.

If you are coming with children, there are endless things to keep them busy during the day. The farm is still operating and they can visit the animals, explore the many cultural buildings on the property or museum collections. Visit us in October when we have our pumpkin patch, themed corn maze and haunted straw maze up and running. It is quite the experience! Whenever you come, this is where you want to stay!

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Family Time at Home

This stay felt like being at home in Grandma's house. The children enjoyed visiting the farm animals, birds, and playhouses. We were close to multiple recreation activities and a short drive to Moab, Utah. At the end of the day, we enjoyed sitting around the fire and catching up on the last year apart and what had been happening in our lives. Vacation should be quiet and stress-free. The Moon Farm was a perfect place to relax and unwind with family. We would stay again!

Moon farm foray

Host was very well in communication and very responsive. Enjoyed the stay at the farm and seeing the animals. Talked with host and loved that the rental money for tge farmhouse feeds back into the property as a non-profit that helps families with special needs. Recommend staying there. Hosts are very gracious and rental income goes to an awesome cause.

Great place to stay for mountain biking!

This is our second stay at the Moon Farm. Stayed at the bunkhouse first time and the farmhouse this time. We had 10 people for the farmhouse and all fit very comfortably. We didn't even run out of hot water with 10 guys showering after biking! Suzanne was a great host and very responsive to our needs.

July stay for 3 families

This was an amazing stay. Great, great property. Have everything you have to experience comfortable, enjoyable and even educational vacation. Location is great, house is more than comfortable, with necessary amenities. Had fire pits and other things...we had 4 kids age 3-10, they loved it and our teenager did not complain what never happened before. Owners are amazing, attentive, and responsive to a minute. Great experience and we all hope to return there soon.

Charming Old Farm House

Great place. Note: this is an old farm house; it's not a modern home. This is our second time staying there. Very clean both times, especially for an ancient place with nooks an crannies. It worked well for 3 families, with 2 kids each. That's a lot of people! The property is wonderful--big lawn, fire rings, two grills, locking shed for bikes, plenty of materials for bike trails and attractions, etc. Moon Farm is a hoot. The kitchen is tiny but has all the stuff you need. The family room is huge, a sprawling addition to the historic home I'd guess. The bedrooms are well laid out. The home supports a non-profit and the owners are nearby. It's also conveniently located for getting to mountain bike trails on 18mi. If you know what you're getting into, you'll love it; if you want a sleek condo with an espresso maker, maybe look downtown.

Great place for a small group gathering

We hosted a board + staff retreat at the Moon Farm this fall, and it was AMAZING! Truly the best choice for our group. Hosts were communicative and helpful both during booking and on-site. The house is large and spotless. We had a group of 20+ people both sleeping inside and out in camper vans and planned most meals to be outdoors - lucky we did because the kitchen is VERY small, keep that in mind when planning meals! Having extra coolers outdoors was helpful. We loved this place and will almost certainly be back!

Perfect location

We did our mountain bike vacation in Fruita and Moab again this year. This was a perfect location for our group. We had multiple vehicles and toy's because everyone drove and brought their own gear. There was plenty of parking and a shed to store the gear we were not using that day. The rooms were set up perfect for our group because some were sharing rooms. The location is a short drive from all the trail systems near Fruita and only a short drive to Fruita. It is an older farm house but was perfect for us. Not sure how the AC works but the house was always comfortable. Plenty of seating for group of 8. Nice fire pit and grill for our cookouts. With plenty of outside seating.
