We were extremely happy with our accommodations at the Blue Jay Inn. We were fortunate to met the host who was extraordinarily friendly. The inn was perfectly clean, exceptionally well stocked, very quiet and comfortable. I highly recommend this Inn.
Property was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay. Had a beautiful sunset and enjoyed sitting on the porch having breakfast and coffee in the morning. Owner very responsive to questions when checking in. Great spot to use as a launching point to the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Would definitely stay here again if in the area in the future.
We had a great stay! Beautiful sceneries all around, easy to access, comfortable place to stay, well stocked and a friendly host. Unless you need a kitchen, this is a perfect place to vacation.
Bob and Casey very nice. Loved the view, the space was just right for us and nicely decorated. Could find no fault and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We rested well.

The owner has been so nice. Available without being intrusive. Sitting on the deck with mountains in the background and deer and rabbits frequently in sight. Also not far from Black Canyon, definitely worth seeing.
I would highly recommend staying here to escape the hustle and bustle of city, or even suburban life.
Thank you for letting us enjoy your home away from home. It was not without a breathtaking view as well! Very clean and inviting. We definitely recommend staying here.
Our host Bob was amazing, very friendly and accommodating. The room had all the comforts of home with million-dollar views, beautiful flowers, tons of hummingbirds, fire pit, grill, outdoor table and chairs. We loved staying at this home and would recommend to all. Thank you Bob!
Bob met us and was a wonderful host. His VRBO home was a perfect location for our journey. The hone was peaceful, quiet, and comfortable. He suggested a place for a dinner, which was excellent. Thanks, Bob!!
The panoramic views from this place were amazing; even soul transforming. Bring your binoculars. The caretaker was most accommodating and available if needed. The room was immaculately cleaned and very comfortable. The refrigerator even had some food in it for guests! I had a question and I asked it through VRBO, and even though I was told the owner of the property was on vacation, he answered it within 5 minutes! This place would be a wonderland in the snow! I recommend it to you, your brother, your mom and your Aunt Gertrude.

we enjoyed talking with the owner. the extra options for relaxing outside and listening to hummingbirds, coyotes in the distance. local wildlife. The entire place is well taken care of...and deserves respect for all who go and stay there. We will be back
Our family was able to catch up on sleep and just sit on the couch to read. The property owners did not bother us. They let us be and do what we wanted. They are very sweet and kind. We will return again.
The name of this property is now the Blue Jay Inn. We had received no instuctions on about how to check in, and with the new name it was very difficult to find the property. However once we arrived they were very friendly, apologetic, and helpful.
The Inn has a large deck with great mountain views, a patio table, chairs, BBQ, several hummingbird feeders with a lot of activity.
A small kitchenette with microwave, refrig. and toaster oven.
It is very well appointed and we had a delightful stay.
Blue Jay Inn Getaway is a gem. Amazing down to every little detail! Cozy recliner chair with a large comfy couch. Extremely comfortable bed. Large refrigerator with freezer. Coffee, hot chocolate, toaster, microwave, toaster oven, dishes, ironing board/iron..... No detail is missed. Breakfast cereals, oatmeal, fruit and juices in the fridge. Everything that you might have forgotten in a basket of "things" in the bathroom/shower. Wi-fi, TV (Roku), Prime, Netflix. The mountain views, Saddle Mountain, Needle Rock, and the hummingbirds right out side of the room window were incredible!! Fresh chopped wood for a fire, clean grilling utensils and charcoal, and seating around. I grew up in the North Fork Valley and this place represents it well. One of our favorite stays yet!!!
