Events, Large Groups, Campers - Stay in This Historic Farm House!

This property has a long history in the Grand Valley! The farm was used as a day camp for 32 years. Since 1965 children have been, and still are experiencing Moon Farm through their field trips. A pumpkin patch was added in 2011. The farm house was converted into the ultimate vacation rental in 2013.

The large farm house has four bedrooms and two baths - all newly renovated for your stay. It will sleep 12 in beds.

Combine that with VRBO #954542 (2 bedroom,1 bath) on the same property, the large camping area (outdoor bathrooms and showers open seasonally from April 1-October 31) and you have a property that can accommodate your group of 25+. Imagine staying in one place, having a kitchen to cook in, an outdoor fire pit to enjoy in the evening and a beautiful property with grass and shade to enjoy.

Not only are you renting the vacation rental, but you have the opportunity for special events at our Moon Farm property. Guests have been the host to small weddings, family reunions, large birthday parties and more. There is an extra charge to rent the Moon Farm property for these events.

You cannot get any closer to the 18 Road mountain bike trails, ATV area and shooting range. It will take you less than 8 minutes to get to the trailhead via car - and less than 5 minutes to get to downtown Fruita.

If you are coming with children, there are endless things to keep them busy during the day. The farm is still operating and they can visit the animals, explore the many cultural buildings on the property or museum collections. Visit us in October when we have our pumpkin patch, themed corn maze and haunted straw maze up and running. It is quite the experience! Whenever you come, this is where you want to stay!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Wedding Weekend Family Stay

My son got married at Cardinal’s Oasis Luxury Event Venue about 20 minutes away, which was great. However, this home would be better suited for a less formal event. There were very few electrical outlets in rooms and bathrooms and due to the age of the home, it didn’t feel very comfortable to get ready for a more formal event due to lighting and “vintage” surroundings that just didn’t feel very clean. There were multiple spiders and webs throughout, old coffee grounds left in the pot and watermelon seeds left on the cutting board. The outside of the home had many spiderwebs that were quite noticeable upon arrival. Also, bring your own chairs. There were only about 2 of the white plastic chairs that weren’t broken. However, the outdoor fire pit was a huge hit for our large group! Lots of memories made around the fire!!Again, it was an interesting place and setting, just not for the purpose of our stay!

Family Time at Home

This stay felt like being at home in Grandma's house. The children enjoyed visiting the farm animals, birds, and playhouses. We were close to multiple recreation activities and a short drive to Moab, Utah. At the end of the day, we enjoyed sitting around the fire and catching up on the last year apart and what had been happening in our lives. Vacation should be quiet and stress-free. The Moon Farm was a perfect place to relax and unwind with family. We would stay again!

Moon farm foray

Host was very well in communication and very responsive. Enjoyed the stay at the farm and seeing the animals. Talked with host and loved that the rental money for tge farmhouse feeds back into the property as a non-profit that helps families with special needs. Recommend staying there. Hosts are very gracious and rental income goes to an awesome cause.

Great place to stay for mountain biking!

This is our second stay at the Moon Farm. Stayed at the bunkhouse first time and the farmhouse this time. We had 10 people for the farmhouse and all fit very comfortably. We didn't even run out of hot water with 10 guys showering after biking! Suzanne was a great host and very responsive to our needs.

We came out for a Westwater rafting trip, and this was a great place to stay! Close enough to the put in, great size, and plenty of space for multiple vehicles and trailer with rafts. Clean, quiet, lots of space! Would definitely stay here again!

We went to grand junction to the drag strip. Needed a place for 11 people to stay. The home has so much character. Very clean and hosts were extremely nice and welcoming. Although we didnt stay much due to our schedule it was a welcoming home with old charm.

July stay for 3 families

This was an amazing stay. Great, great property. Have everything you have to experience comfortable, enjoyable and even educational vacation. Location is great, house is more than comfortable, with necessary amenities. Had fire pits and other things...we had 4 kids age 3-10, they loved it and our teenager did not complain what never happened before. Owners are amazing, attentive, and responsive to a minute. Great experience and we all hope to return there soon.
