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!

Amazing location for large groups!
We came out for a Westwater rafting trip, and this was a great place to stay! Close enough to the put in, great size, and plenty of space for multiple vehicles and trailer with rafts. Clean, quiet, lots of space! Would definitely stay here again!

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.

Cool farmhouse in close proximity to 18 Road biking
Myself and five friends stayed here and enjoyed it. The fire pit in the front yard was especially nice. The kitchen is small but has what is needed.

Great place for kids
We loved our stay at Moon Farm. My kids loved all the things to do and see. I loved the nostalgia of it all. As a Fruita native, it so fun to come back and stay at the place where I had dance lessons as a kid.

Fantastic place to stay with a lot of interesting items around the farm for kids of all ages.
Owner met us upon arrival and introduced us to this unique property. It was clean and the owner inquired if we needed anything just often enough. Great place for larger groups. Owner was fantastic and a wealth of info on the region. We will go there again.

Great hosts. Excellent location and a lot of things to do.
We stayed at Moon Farm while attending a family wedding in Fruita. David and Jannae were excellent host. They even gave us a private early tour through their haunted maze. Fun property for both children and adults.

Moon farm
We went to grand junction to the drag strip. Needed a place for 11 people to stay. The home has so much character. Very clean and hosts were extremely nice and welcoming. Although we didnt stay much due to our schedule it was a welcoming home with old charm.

Perfect Place for Our Company Retreat
I can't say enough good things about Moon Farm. We rented both properties and there were more than enough beds to sleep our group of 13 very comfortably. Not only the fire pits, BBQ, and picnic table, but also easy access to Fruita mountain bike trails and rafting on the Colorado make this the perfect place for a company getaway.

To the Moon (Farm)
This was our 3rd time staying here and it's always a great time. There was plenty of room for our large group of mtn bikers. The 2 outside firepits and the large lawn area made for perfect evening happy hours. The close proximity to 18rd was very convenient. The Moon Farm is a special place.

Wonderful visit!
Farmhouse is large and relaxing. Owners are absolutely wonderful ... very helpful and truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The property is amazing for kids!! Animals, numerous small houses to play in, so much to do. My kids loved their stay. I rarely take the time to review a property, but I heartily recommend this home!

Great for a group of Mountain Bikers
This large house sleeps so many people nicely and allows the entire group cook and eat together while still having a few quiet rooms for sleeping. Plenty of shower space as well with the shower block. Highly recommended for a group as it is easy to cook for a crowd. The fire pits are great as well for telling stories around.
