About this property

Launch your Colorado adventures – Historic Downtown convenience

Come experience a cozy, modernized 1900 home located in the growing and gritty mixed commercial/residential community in downtown Grand Junction, just blocks away from the Riverfront and Las Colonias Park. The house, a.k.a 805, sits on the same property as our strength and conditioning facility, Ridgeline Fitness. If you are interested in learning more reach out to us!

805 was built in 1900!!!! We've modernized while preserving it's historical charm. Enjoy curling up in cozy bedrooms, one with its own infrared sauna. Then you can hang out in the main room equipped with 55" 4K Smart TV with Sonos surround sound and log into your favorite streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, etc) to enjoy music sipping a local beverage in front of the picture window or relax by watching your favorite movie. We (often) have beer on tap in our kitchen kegerator from local Monumental Beer Works and more importantly purified reverse osmosis water to hydrate your Grand Valley adventures.

805 is the building on the property that sits closest to South Avenue, and guests typically access the home from the front door, which faces guest parking on South Avenue. Follow a concrete sidewalk to the front door. There is a motion detecting light to provide a well lit path after dark to the house. There is a security camera both at the front door and the back door of the house for safety. There are NO CAMERAS in the house. Please note that there are three stairs up to the front porch and three stairs up to the rear of the house, thus guests will need to be able to safely navigate a small number of stairs to access the property. There are no stairs in the home.

We have a free, dedicated parallel parking space for guests on South Avenue. There is free on the street parking on 8th street. 805 is a 5-10 minute walk to the best places on Main Street in Downtown GJ. AND bring your favorite bike! The Riverfront Trail (paved) can be accessed in 4 min by bike, and goes all the way to Fruita. Uber and Lyft are also available.

We have decorated 805 with eclectic artwork from our lives for you to enjoy during your stay! Since we don't live on the property, it's our way of sharing our experiences and personalities with you.

Great place to stay

It was a cozy place to stay for 2 nights. Close proximity to CO National Monument for hiking & Palisade for wine tasting! The house was super clean and stocked well. We were just bummed that the kegerator was out of beer during our stay! That would have really elevated the experience!

Great place!

Adam was very accommodating and the place was warm and cozy when we arrived. The best part was the fresh beer! The home is in more of an industrial area and there is a train that comes through but the host provides ear plugs if you need them!

Cute, spacious and BEER!

The house is surprisingly quiet and has everything you need. Just a 3 min drive downtown. Close to CMU too. There was some train noise at night but that's expected in Grand Junction. The kegarator was awesome and so nice when we drove 4 hours and was so nice to walk in and have a beer and relax. We had a great stay!

House has everything and more for staying in GJ. The Main St. restaurants were a few blocks away and a very nice area to just walk and see all the artisan shops. Would recommend it to anyone.

Quick visit in GJ

The listing is accurate. The host communicates very well. The house is charming, clean, and they really make an effort to make you feel at home. The area was a little more industrial / commercial than I expected but it wasn’t an issue at all for me. I would stay there again.

Enjoyable stay

Adam's house was updated and comfortable. Easy street parking at the front door, close enough to main street to walk to dinner, and beer in the kegerator made for a great stay. Adam was quick to respond. Only negative (and the listing is upfront about it) is the house is in a light industrial neighborhood. I would absolutely book this property again.

Fabulous Older Home with All Amenities!

Correspondence with owner was fantastic. Owner has gym behind property and he is available if needed. Home is completely refurbished, new flooring, kitchen, shower area, AC units in most rooms. Organic mattress, pillows, shower supplies, shampoos, body wash, etc. The home is immaculate. Pictures and description are accurate. We were worried about the area, but Adam assured us he has had no problems in the 15 years he has been there. Close proximity to downtown with several EXCELLENT restaurants. There is a train that moves through town 2-3 times at night. First night was interesting as we were rail employees, so no problem. Next nights, we hardly heard at all. Enjoyed so much, we've book for next year at this time. Thanks, Adam!

About the host

Hosted by Adam Ford

Host profile image
I'm 51, married, and own a gym in Grand Junction, CO. I enjoy climbing, hiking, beekeeping, archery, and gardening. I have two dogs, chickens and bees. I fell in love with Airbnb taking my daughter back to college in Oregon from Colorado. Getting outside the mainstream hotel chains has enhanced my experiences traveling and I'm excited to now host on the VRBO platform! I want to add dimension, uniqueness and convenience to your stay in Grand Junction!

Why they chose this property

I'm a Colorado native and moved to Grand Junction from Vail in 2002. I continue to be surprised and inspired by how much there is to do in the Grand Valley! Aside from the outdoor recreational opportunities here and within a two hour drive I love our thriving downtown, symphony, film festivals, good restaurants and farmers markets. I find the diverse down to earth feel of Grand Junction more appealing on a day to day basis than the synthetic resort culture of Vail and Aspen - and more affordable:-)

What makes this property unique

You will enjoy the charm, character and conveniences of this cozy 1900 home located in the original one square mile plat of the the city. Then as now you will find conveniences normally found in larger cities. The house is close to Downtown, Colorado Mesa University, Los Colonias Park and the Colorado River. Here are a few other things to consider:

- Big windows with lots of natural light
- New organic hybrid mattresses
- Awesome TV and sound system
- Fast Wifi
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Occasional train that passes by. Not bad though!
