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

It exceeded our expectations. The home was so beautiful, clean, and quiet. We can tell the owner put a lot of love and time into taking care of the property. They were so thoughtful in every detail throughout the house. We were there to ride in a bike ride event. We had a really great rest both before and after the ride. The owner even let us in early just right before the hail storm so that was very helpful and kind. Chad's communication was excellent. Thank you so much! We loved every minute of it!

We had an amazing stay at the Desert Moon. The home was not only beautifully designed and well equipped, but also perfectly located just a couple of blocks away from our family, which made everything so convenient.The space was more than enough for our entire family to spread out and feel comfortable. From the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy gas fireplace and outdoor patio with a fire pit, every detail was thoughtfully designed to make the stay relaxing and enjoyable.We especially appreciated the quiet neighborhood, the proximity to local trails and attractions. The shuffleboard table and telescope were such fun extras.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend the Desert Moon to anyone visiting the Fruita or Grand Junction area.

Relaxing

We were in the area for a baseball tournament. This home was beautiful and so spacious and open. The perfect place to relax. Loved having use of the large garage so we were able to park inside, giving us the option of not having to unload and reload baseball equipment everyday. The hosts were great at communicating and made things very easy! 10/10 recommend!

Excellent place to stay

Our stay at The Desert Moon was absolutely wonderful! We stayed for my daughter's graduation from Mesa.The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The Kitchen is well stocked, the beds are very comfortable, the patio is so relaxing, and it is a very quiet neighborhood. The host was accommodating, responsive, and truly made sure our experience was seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend and would definitely return!

Relaxing Fun

Very well equipped kitchen, lots of linens, relaxing deck (quiet upscale neighborhood, but it is a neighborhood). The deck is the only second living space. We enjoyed the race activities of the weekend, Colorado National Monument, and the sweet downtown of Fruita. What a beautiful area to visit!

We were in Fruita for a family Christmas and this was the perfect place for extra guests my daughter didn’t have room for in her home there. It had all the amenities we needed, was in a quiet neighborhood, and such a beautiful home we felt very comfortable coming “home” to each evening.

This was the cleanest vacation rental I have ever stayed at-I am very picky! The entire property is beautiful and the owners have given careful consideration to every detail. As a former general manager of a vacation resort in Colorado, I can assure you this property is wonderful and managed properly. The neighborhood is quick and safe. Will definitely be back.

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!
