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.

Our host Adam was great, even letting us check in a few hours early. Very responsive and welcoming. The home is well furnished and comfortable. Excellent beds and dining area. For me the kitchen was outstanding! We have to eat a specific diet and the kitchen can make or break a vacation. Well stocked with cooking gear and functional appliances. Overall this property and host are wonderful. Thanks so much.

This is our go to unit when we visit Grand Junction. It is such a cool little house and only about a mile to downtown area. Kegerator is also a neat little addition! Perfect for 2 couples or small family.

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!

Perfect location

Wow just Wow what a great stay! The layout is efficient, comfortable, and we felt right at home. Anything we needed or could have asked for was provided and right at our fingertips. It was great that we could do laundry as we are on a long roadtrip and the kegerator along with sauna was def a highlight. There’s a lot to do within 30 min drive featuring hiking, dining, and the Colorado National Monument. What a great host, immaculate home, and spectacular area. We look forward to staying here again!!!

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.

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!
