Our stay in Fruita was a joy. We arrived to find a spacious, well-maintained, sparkling clean property with all the amenities. We were especially pleased with the well-equipped kitchen -- so well-equipped that we were able to host an impromptu dinner party for some friends who coincidentally happened to be staying in Grand Junction.Our young Lab was at first nonplussed by the xeriscape yard, but was ecstatic to learn that there were nearby plots of grass maintained by the HOA. We met several locals who were also taking fur friends to visit that grass. The location is handy to funky Fruita and to larger Grand Junction; with plenty of shopping and easy access to the outdoors on the Uncompahgre Plateau. Sadly, the Colorado National Monument was shuttered by a government shutdown. Phooey. We didn't bring bicycles with us for this trip, but we noted access to both MTB trails and the Colorado Riverfront Trail (more suitable for road cycling). Although we didn't need them, I found a bike repair stand and washing gear; also provided in the game room.As a retired geologist, I was pleased to be welcomed by an array of mineral specimens in every room. It made for a touch of magic throughout the property. If we're ever in search of lodging in the GJ area again, we will definitely look into Desert Mineral Ascent again.
