In the very heart of the Grand Valley, this former carriage house is almost equal distance from Palisade’s wine tasting, as it is to Fruita’s world-class mountain biking. This studio is minutes from CMU, Lincoln Park, the award-winning Redlands Mesa Golf course, the Tabaguache Trail system, the botanical gardens, and a walk away from the Mesa County Public Library, the Convention Center, two parks, the historic Avalon Theater, and several churches. Beautiful Downtown Grand Junction is a four-block walk, featuring the Farmer’s Market (June-September), abundant sculptures, several local dining hot-spots, unique shops, gelato, and several other events year-round.

This remodeled studio boasts a good-sized kitchen, concrete countertops, large kitchen sink, ambient yard area, and has been thoughtfully decorated and appointed in a modern yet comfortable style. It includes a queen bed, closet, table that seats up to four people, sitting area, office supplies, oven, refrigerator, microwave, window air-conditioning unit, shower, and a fully stocked bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer. For entertainment, there are books, netflix instant service, a flat-screen TV, board games, and high-speed internet.

The Carriage House Studio is just north of another vacation rental cottage, Gray Gables. Large groups can book both properties, and be close to each other. Keyless entry provides ease of checking in, and a comprehensive handbook provides abundant information about local resources to enhance your stay.
