Idyllic!

Deserts Edge is an idyllic place to stay while visiting the Fruita, Colorado area. The property is like a little hide away. There are trails to explore right out the door, a cozy firepit and, a fenced area for the four-legged companion. Karen, the host, has thought of everything to make your stay most memorable.

Perfect stay!

My husband and our two dogs stayed overnight at the Desert’s Edge. We had a great night! Desert’s Edge is the perfect place to stay! It’s far enough away from town that it’s quiet, but close enough to a wide range of food options. There’s a great area for dogs that is completely secure. You also have access to a walking trail along a creek, so if you like nature…this is the property for you! Also, the host is a wonderful artist, and there is gorgeous artwork everywhere in the house! We would definitely love to stay here again!

Amazing house, great host!

The house is beautiful and had some really cool art! My pup was a long for the ride and had a nice big yard to run around in. It's located in the heart of Fruita, close to restaurants and shops. It's such a cute town.

Cute place

This place is super cute and clean. We were visiting family so we did not spend a lot of time here. Karen is an extremely nice person. The property is nice because it feels more remote and has a lot of shade trees. Would stay here again and recommend.

I just love this place. It is so peaceful, and all the beautiful pottery and artwork throughout the guesthouse is amazing! It’s everything that you would need for a quiet place to relax. The little enclosed dog area is excellent and my dogs thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sweet little getaway spot with all the special details

The house was lovely and comfortable. I appreciated the electric heat pump, recycling and compost. We sat outside to enjoy tea or snacks and listened to the birds and the stream nearby. The local artwork in the house was lovely and gave a nice feel for the artist community in Fruita.

Quaint, rustic place by a little stream. We ordered Indian food delivery and it was delish! Safe, clean, stay. Air conditioning worked great! Lots of light. The dog yard is separate from the house but super easy/convenient non the less. Would stay again!

WOW!! This is one of the nicest, cleanest, cute places we have stayed, and we have stayed quite a few places! So much was provided we really only needed to bring our food! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook, including spices. No oven, but there is a large toaster oven and really, who wants to bake on vacation anyway? The bathroom is really nice and large, plenty of hot water. The bedroom is separate from the main room and bed was very comfortable. Very quite. Karen has done a great job of making the place comfortable. Hope to be back next year!
