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

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 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.
We had so much fun at this beautiful, open, spacious home! The patio is a great place to have coffee in the morning or spend evenings relaxing with friends/family. We will definitely be back!
We had a great stay at Desert Moon! Beautiful home and fantastic location for Adventure Fest. Communication was great. House was spotless and had everything we needed.
Great place to stay for guy's trip. Super clean, like new furniture, great patio and BBQ area, kitchen stocked with basic cooking items, garage w/ bike rack and maintenance stand. We'll be back next year.
We spent a fantastic weekend in Fruita meeting sort of in the middle between California and Iowa. The home was well organized and we felt so welcome. We will stay here again.
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.
Hose was stunning the amenities are comfortable and we had everything we needed. Beds are very comfortable and the master shower is amazing. Kitchen is huge and the seating is comfortable inside and out. Loved the patio! I would definitely stay here again!
Very modern, clean, well appointed home in Fruita. This home worked perfect for our families base camp making for a soft landing after daily activities exploring the desert and all the beautiful landscapes around Fruita. We would definitely re-visit!
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!
Very nice, newer custom home in quiet neighborhood. It's much larger than what it looks like in the listing. Beds were quite comfortable, kitchen was sweet. Homeowners were very helpful & responsive. We stayed for 8 nights and greatly enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend!
Awesome property! Clean and they got all these small details covered from a stocked kitchen, phone chargers by every bed side, patio w/ BBQ and bike stand & racks in the garage. We’ll be back next year.
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.
Great property. Good location. Clean. Quiet. Newer. Good/fair price. We will definitely stay here again. Our group (3) are all 50+ men out here for MTBing
