This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway to Palisade. The home and gardens are beautiful and well cared for, and it was a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The location made it easy to get anywhere in town and to the surrounding wineries and vineyards.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for taking good care of the house!
Nice house in a nice neighborhood in great location. I was able to bring my dog who enjoyed the beautiful fenced yard with great green grass. I would recommend this home to family and individuals looking for a comfortable stay in a great location.

I’m so glad everything worked out for you. Thanks for taking good care of the house.
My wife and I had a great time staying here with a couple of friends. The house was in walking distance of downtown and an easy bike ride to the wineries. The owners were very responsive and easy to work with!

I’m glad you had a good time. And thanks for leaving the house looking great.
We really enjoyed our stay here with 2 friends and their pup! Check in/out was super easy, the kitchen was well equipped for cooking most of our meals, and the back patio was perfect for coffee in the morning. While most of the wineries are too far to walk the proximity to town was perfect. This is a great rental for a couple (or 2) or a small family. We'd definitely stay again :)

I’m so glad you had a good time. And hope you got to lots of wineries, too.
We had great time here. Easily walked to the park, the closets restaurants and downtown etc. The place was charming and clean. Great home base to explore and relax when we returned. A few quick questions were quickly answered and we had no issues while we were there. Would stay again for sure!!
We loved our stay! The home is comfortable and clean, the yard is very lovely and relaxing! Centrally located in Palisade, can walk to downtown area. Gary and Susan were awesome to work/communicate with. Not a bad thing to say, we hope to return and stay again soon.

Another lovely stay!
This was our second time staying here and it was wonderful again. The two bedrooms easily accommodated two couples, the living room is super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The shower/tub is super easy to use (not sure why people complain about this?!) and the location is great. We will definitely return next summer. :)

I’m so glad you had a good return visit. And we got a laugh when you displayed the Halloween dinosaur skeletons! We’ll make sure it’s on display on the hutch for you next year.
Very nice 1912 property. It has that antique vintage look inside. Clean and kept up well. My wife absolutely loved everything from the inside and the outside yard. Glad we stayed. Within walking distance to the downtown area and a short drive to the peach orchards. Great place.

Great place, great location
Fully furnished, conveniently located bungalow located centrally in Palisade. There are two comfortable bedrooms, a great kitchen (we cooked in all three nights we were there), and good air conditioning units. It's easy to find and really convenient to getting to the wineries. The hand-held shower is just fine, too; you get accustomed to showering while sitting down very quickly. We had a lovely time, and will be back to this property.
We had a wonderful stay, the place is charming and was a perfect home base for our trip to palisade. The hosts great notes on the house and beautiful garden ensured we found everything we needed and had no issues. We really appreciated the old-house details and walking distance to restaurants and stuff on the other side of the train tracks. The train was loud but not too often. Thanks Susan and Gary for a great visit

Enjoyable step back in time
Clean and comfortable home. We loved being able to walk downtown. SItting on the front porch rockers and reading was very peaceful. The back yard has a trellis covered patio which could be a joy to spend an entire evening at if it had comfortable chairs. No TV and no internet; but we aren't media addicted, so that was fine. The air conditioners weren't in the window yet, so my allergies were going crazy as we had to keep the windows open to keep it cool. In spite of these things, it was such a comfortable home that we would gladly stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay at the White Lavender Cottage! It is a really cute place in the most idyllic location. We walked to downtown palisade every day, to rent bikes and for dinner/drinks. The kitchen has all the amenities, and the front porch and back patio are perfect for morning coffee. It was a wonderful little getaway!
FYI there is no wifi, a very small TV, only a tub and very near the train tracks.
This is a lovely, charming property. We adore staying here. The home is close to the town center; its an easy walk to everything.
The yard is a wonderful place to relax in. Susan is a great hostess!
The yard was amazing and perfect for relaxing with some local peaches and mead and the dogs. It's very clean and comfortable. There isn't WiFi, which isn't a big deal, but it wasn't clear from the listing. You can walk right downtown to lots of local restaurants and shops and vineyards and can bike to even more! I would definitely visit this home again :)
My two girl friends and I loved this house! Flowers everywhere outside and a sweet note about them from the owners. This house was super historical. It transports you back to 1912! We had a great time as we rode bikes to different wineries and then came back home where I played some tunes on the piano for my friends!
The home was a very comfortable place to stay. It was very apparent the owners have put their heart and soul into this place. We especially enjoyed the beautiful private fenced in yard with our dog and the 1912 vintage vibe of the home. We did not miss having WIFI one bit. And the claw foot tub with the handheld shower was a welcome adventure. (Very easy to use) The owners, Susan and Gary, were also very welcoming and accommodating with any issues or questions we had. We plan on staying here again and highly recommend this place

About the host
Hosted by Susan Metzger
I am an artist and teacher. When I moved to Colorado from the Virgin Islands after Hurricane Hugo, I looked at a lot of houses. I fell in love with this one immediately and felt extremely lucky to purchase this home in 1991. I've always loved old houses - and my artwork is of historic architecture.
Why they chose this property
When I married 20 years ago, I couldn't give up this house, I had spent years planting roses and exotic plants - and it had lots of happy memories. When I moved in, the house had the original wooden shingle roof covered with moss, and the original wiring. I only had 6 outlets! I sadly redid the roof in 2002 when it started to leak, and I had the wiring redone and added an outlet in the bathroom in 1997. For 10 years the house was a dedicated vacation rental. Then, last year, my 90-year-old mother moved in. It is a wonderfully accessible location, with grocery, post office and library all near by. When my mother is visiting relatives, we close off her bedroom and reopen as a vacation rental.
What makes this property unique
Few of the houses in Palisade have as many original features. Sash windows, pine floor, high ceilings, wooden pantry. The entry to the basement is a trap door. And a bubble bath in the original clawfoot bathtub has been a constant pleasure. Enjoy a quiet old fashioned pace of life.
