I picked this location because it is close to my daughter’s house. Once we checked in it was just as nice as the photos indicated. Since there was only 2 of us we had lots of room. We will rent here again & hopefully be able to stay in Black Bear or another of the properties in this neighborhood. L

Small town, great house, fun MTB trails

Stayed at this Fruita house for a week with friends. Great house with lots of room for several adults, large two car garage. The minimal light pollution allowed views of the Milky Way and meteor showers-awesome. Great spots outside and in to gather and hang out. Make sure to visit Grand Junction a few miles away. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Great rental for short or long stays

Spent a long weekend in the area after living there for over 50 years for a funeral service for my mother. With serveral family members attending it was more economical and pleasurable to rent a Vrbo and the Black Bear house was perfect for us. It was my 2nd time renting a vrbo and it was a fantastic experience. I will not hesitate to search visit Fruita property management inventory to rent on my return to the area again.

Easily a 5/5 rating overall, but know a couple small issues that might matter.

Absolutely gorgeous house, incredible value, great location. ZERO regrets. Just know if you are on a biking trip, there is no garden hose to spray off bikes after riding and they explicitly say they won’t provide them. Also the internet is adequate for streaming etc (download approx 250Mbps), but if you want to upload pics or video of your vacation each night, the upload speed of 8Mbps was prohibitively slow. Again, ZERO regrets, amazing place!! Just bring a little garden hose and plan on uploading footage after you leave ;). Thanks for the great stay!!! Easily a 5-star!

We enjoyed staying at this clean rental house. It had all the amenities for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. A spacious living room and a nice kitchen with all the necessary cooking utensils for preparing meals for our family was so convenient. The bedrooms were just right with comfortable beds.
