Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Make the Dairy Retreat your private stay in the Grand Valley! Stroll to famous Graff Dairy for homemade ice cream or coffee before setting out to explore. Once you’re back, walk the nearby canal, settle in for movie and game night, be chef in the fully stocked kitchen, or grill out and play cornhole - all in a townhome built for luxury just two years ago. Centrally located, so nothing’s far - good eats, downtown shopping, CMU, and the wineries await!

The space
This two-level townhouse, built in 2023, has all the modern touches to make you feel at home! You’ll enjoy private access to a full living and cooking space while being close to all the Grand Valley has to offer.

Start out in the comfortable living room, furnished with leather seating and Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring. There’s a comfy work area with high-speed WiFi, or settle in with your favorite people and a variety of books, games, and large Roku television for streaming.

The trademark red barn housing Graff Dairy Ice Cream and Coffee Shop is a 2-minute walk away, and steps from the back door, take your pups (or yourself!) to the sweet little neighborhood green space and public canal, both great spaces for walks or jogs. A minute’s drive brings you to a full-service Safeway and Starbucks.

The upscale kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and all the room you need to snack, cook, or chill. You’ll enjoy full access to the refrigerator, cabinets, and cupboards and help yourself to other amenities:
—A Minuetto espresso machine and Sboly coffee grinder
—Keurig and an assortment of beverages, including coffee, tea, flavored creamers, honey, and sugar
—A flat-top stovetop and oven, plus cooking basics like oil, vinegar, and seasonings
—Small appliances including a toaster, electric kettle, blender, mixer, and crockpot
—A patio propane grill

Outdoors, get comfortable on the front porch bistro or play some cornhole and barbeque on the back patio, with shade options during the day and a standing heater for cooler evenings.

Upstairs, settle in to two separate private bedrooms, where you’ll enjoy elevated views, a bathroom with a full tub, shower, and amenities, and comfortable queen and full mattresses. Both rooms feature TVs with streaming services.

From your home base, lots worth doing and seeing in Grand Junction is just minutes away:
—Lincoln Park’s Suplizio Field, Stocker Stadium, pool and pickleball courts (3 miles)
—Colorado Mesa University (3 miles)
—Historic downtown shops and restaurants (4 miles)
—The Amphitheater at Las Colonias Park (5 miles)
—The Riverfront Trail (6 miles)
—Palisade orchards/wineries (11 miles)

Other notes:

—Our sweet Chiweenie, Rory, lives with us in the home when the space is not open to guests. Please consider this if allergies are a factor.
—We do not have a fenced yard. However, you may take your pup to the nearby green space walking path and public canal. The xeriscaped backyard also makes for easy pet cleanup!
—We don’t allow parties or excessive numbers of people during stays, and we ask that guests observe quiet hours between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Additional cleaning beyond 2.5 hours will require an extra fee.
—Spaces closed to guests include the garage, a downstairs closet and pantry, and the master bedroom. The rest of the home is yours to enjoy!
—Though we welcome all guests and value their diversity and many interests, our home isn't the best fit for families with infants or small children.
—Smoking is allowed in outdoor spaces.
—If you have 2-3 positive reviews, feel free to request to book our home!

My work: grant writer
My partner (Heather) and I love living in Grand Junction. Whether we're snow shoeing on the Grand Mesa in winter, hiking our favorite trails in the spring, paddle boarding in the summer, savoring reds at Palisade's Wine Fest or leaf peeping in the fall, we're consistently discovering new treasures on the Western Slope. You can also find us building community with friends at local eateries, wineries, and breweries. Need recommendations? Just ask.
