Carriage House on Fruit & Wine Byway

Located on the Scenic Fruit & Wine Byway the Carriage House is on our organic three-acre peach farm within easy biking distance to downtown Palisade, surrounding wineries & hiking trails. Enjoy downtown Palisade's farmers market, distillery, brewery & restaurants. We're moments from many wineries & trailheads including access to The Plunge, Mt. Garfield, Palisade Rim & Riverbend Park. Begin, end or spend your day lounging in the little yard quaint for sipping wine & enjoying charcuterie.
The space
The Carriage House is across the yard from our home and is perfect to enjoy the rural setting of the vineyards and orchards of Palisade yet still be close to activities available.

You'll enjoy the efficient home floor plan (260 sqft) and its surrounding area. The kitchenette is stocked with a toaster oven, electric skillet, crock pot, hot plate, toaster & coffee maker in addition to a sink, refrig, microwave. French doors open to a private little yard to enjoy the morning coffee or evening cocktails.

There's amply parking space.

During growing season, we'll happily pick you a peach for your morning cereal or better yet an afternoon cocktail. Several downright fabulous Field-to-Fork venues are nearby for fresh fresh produce. Let me share my personal faves. If the flowers are blooming, you're welcome to make a fresh arrangement for the table. Please do not hesitate to message or call with any and all questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming you!

Breakfast recommendations:
My new favorite brunch is 13 Brix. We love their French bistro offerings and I can highly recommend our little bakery in town, The Slice of Life. Oh my gosh!!! Such yummy breakfast burritos and pastries that would curl your hair. Coffee in many iterations as well. I love its atmosphere. So cozy and charming. Be sure and stop in a Pressed a charming spot for coffee, pasteries, charcuterie and cocktails! Additionally, Peche is a new restaurant in town. It is absolutely fabulous!!! Please do make a reservation so you don't miss out. Also, we love using one of our family-owned businesses, Grub Gofers. They deliver food from many restaurants, groceries and alcohol. You can see their full offering and menus online. Just search for"Grub Gofers." Their charges are super reasonable in my option. Why cook?

On Sundays, June - September, the Palisade Farmers Market is a delight! It'a been recently extended into September and October. We love to have Bloody Mary's at The Peach Street Distillery and then saunter through the market:))
Other things to note
The outbuildings on the property are used for farming equipment. Please do not disturb the irrigation pump house. Please refrain from walking in the orchard. Every once in awhile there's a bump or rut due to tractor use. Thank you.

This is a working peach farm. Our farming activities won't impact your stay in the house and enjoyment of the yard but you may get to see us farming. We irrigate throughout the growing season. Depending on the season you stay you may get to see us pruning, thinning or even picking peaches. In these cases occasionally a tractor may make a trip or two up the driveway and into the orchard. I am absolutely available to offer help throughout your stay.
