Cabin

The cabin is not only homey it’s rich in history about Jackie’s life and travels, which made it special. She baked delicious bread for us which was available on arrival. The amenities were all as described and our stay was lovely.

Comfortable Stay, Nice Property with Interesting Decor

Very nice house with interesting decor and a backyard fit for a toddler to kick a ball around in! The host was wonderful and even provided us with a banana bread to make us feel welcome! The location is close to an entrance to the amazing Colorado National Monument, which was the first time, even though we're Colorado Natives, we have ever visited. Thank you for our stay!

Quiet and well-appointed home away from home

This place was perfect for our vacation. It was well appointed, The host was very nice. She even made us banana bread! We particularly liked the outdoor space. The spacious house is in a relatively quiet neighborhood and also close to places we had planned to travel while in the area. Grocery stores and restaurants are conveniently close as well. We would stay here again if in the area.

Cozy Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at the sweet Apple cottage! We were in town for a race over in Fruita and the convenience of GJ and the proximity to Fruita made for a great race weekend! Beds are comfy, and the kitchen is fully stocked. There are multiple tables and a desk should you need to work remotely as well.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie walker

Host profile image
I arrived to retire in Grand Junction from Atlanta, Ga. I taught 32 years at the college prep Lovett School. My subjects were history and religion courses with Middle Est History and Archaeology as my special interests.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was built in 1941 and remodeled in 2000 . Every day is a wonder to live in this beautiful valley surrounded by The National Monument, The Bookcliffs and the wild horses and The Grand Mesa.

What makes this property unique

Our area is quiet and very close to beautiful endless scenry and culture of the western Colorado and southern Utah. We are 30 miles from the Utah boarder. We are 3 minutes from Trailhead coffee shop for breakfast and lunch and 5 minutes from Starbucks in the Albertson shopping center.
