Comfy stay in Grand Junction
Nicely remodeled older home in a quiet neighborhood in Grand Junction. Roomy, comfortable (especially the beds and living room furniture) and well equipped. Beautiful kitchen with just about anything you might need, washer and dryer in the basement, covered carport kept the car dry. An excellent value, highly recommended!

The property was very comfortable, clean and neat. The bathroom is a bit out of date compared to the updated kitchen which is beautiful. And the backyard is a lovely sanctuary!

Made for relaxing
I found this property because I was looking for a place that had sufficient space for my sewing machines and a flat space for cutting. I was not disappointed. We were able to play some golf until the weather put an early stop to it! Quiet surroundings and we could walk to the CMU stadium for ball games if we wanted.

Great house in Grand Junction
We loved staying at the butterfly house! The house is nicely decorated and very homey inside. It’s very close to the Lincoln Park (1 block) and Mesa University. The kids loved walking to the Moyer Pool at Lincoln Park. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing.

Excellent VRBO!
We stayed at the Butterfly Cottage Saturday thru Tuesday in August 2024. It is an older house that has been updated and is very comfortable and welcoming. The neighborhood feels like one you would want to live in and the house is part of the charm. The house was very clean, well stocked, charming. Very pleasant back yard and closed in front porch that we spent a good deal of time in. We had a hard time figuring out the tv but finally got what we wanted. Next time we travel from Denver to GJ, this is definitely where we will hope to stay. A definite keeper!

Charming and perfect
Exactly how it was described. So charming and loved the decor! Even provided a gift basket with coffee, hiking map and other goodies. Lots of towels and blankets which I loved. I feel like some VRBOs don’t leave blankets for variant temperatures. Back yard was nice! Safe neighborhood. Our favorite part was the porch. Simply perfect!
