We had such a great stay at Sapphire House! The house was clean and well-appointed. We all loved the game shed, and had so much fun with foosball and the vintage arcade games. Our kids are now obsessed with the games from our childhood (Frogger, Donkey Kong, Tetris, and PAC Man!). We also loved the proximity to the park and to Main St Fruita. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Mark and Devin!
We are Devin, Mark, Nile and Japhy - Nice to meet you!
We have lived and worked around the world, mostly in Uganda, where Devin runs a non profit called Street Business School, and Mark guides and writes for Natural Habitat Adventures.
As travelers ourselves, we know how important it is to find a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. We have created these properties with all the extras that delight us when we travel, and hope you enjoy them as well!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Fruita when we started mountain biking here several years ago. We quickly learned that this area has so much more to offer than just biking (although the biking is AMAZING!) - the Colorado Nat'l Monument, Grand Mesa, the Colorado River, farmers markets, peaches, an amazing community of welcoming people and more. We bought this house in 2021 to have a more lasting foothold in the community. We love spending time here with our two sons and our dog, so we wanted to create a space that would make others with furry and non-furry family members feel comfortable as well. We hope you enjoy your time in Fruita!
What makes this property unique
Location + comfort!
This property is centrally located 7 minutes walk from downtown Fruita (Hot Tomato Pizza is what we consider the heart of the town :) and 1 block from the farmer's market. It is a short drive to world-class biking (18 Road and Kokopelli Trail), hiking (McInnis Canyon and much more), rafting (Ruby Horsethief canyon), and the natural beauty of the Colorado National Monument, Grand Mesa and so much more.
The Grand Valley also features amazing wines, and foods as this is the breadbasket of Colorado. If you haven't tried Palisade Peaches yet, you are in for a treat!
The house itself is a gem that we have created with your comfort in mind. The beds all have high end Tuft and Needle mattresses and high thread count sheets, for a great night's sleep. The kitchen is stocked with thoughtful extras like a blender, champagne glasses, and kids' plates. And we've included thoughtful touches throughout, including original artwork, books, and suggestions on how to enjoy the best Fruita has to offer.
We'd love to host you!
