Launch your Colorado adventures – Historic Downtown convenience

Come experience a cozy, modernized 1900 home located in the growing and gritty mixed commercial/residential community in downtown Grand Junction, just blocks away from the Riverfront and Las Colonias Park. The house, a.k.a 805, sits on the same property as our strength and conditioning facility, Ridgeline Fitness. If you are interested in learning more reach out to us!

805 was built in 1900!!!! We've modernized while preserving it's historical charm. Enjoy curling up in cozy bedrooms, one with its own infrared sauna. Then you can hang out in the main room equipped with 55" 4K Smart TV with Sonos surround sound and log into your favorite streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, etc) to enjoy music sipping a local beverage in front of the picture window or relax by watching your favorite movie. We (often) have beer on tap in our kitchen kegerator from local Monumental Beer Works and more importantly purified reverse osmosis water to hydrate your Grand Valley adventures.

805 is the building on the property that sits closest to South Avenue, and guests typically access the home from the front door, which faces guest parking on South Avenue. Follow a concrete sidewalk to the front door. There is a motion detecting light to provide a well lit path after dark to the house. There is a security camera both at the front door and the back door of the house for safety. There are NO CAMERAS in the house. Please note that there are three stairs up to the front porch and three stairs up to the rear of the house, thus guests will need to be able to safely navigate a small number of stairs to access the property. There are no stairs in the home.

We have a free, dedicated parallel parking space for guests on South Avenue. There is free on the street parking on 8th street. 805 is a 5-10 minute walk to the best places on Main Street in Downtown GJ. AND bring your favorite bike! The Riverfront Trail (paved) can be accessed in 4 min by bike, and goes all the way to Fruita. Uber and Lyft are also available.

We have decorated 805 with eclectic artwork from our lives for you to enjoy during your stay! Since we don't live on the property, it's our way of sharing our experiences and personalities with you.

Great base for exploring the area
Clean, comfortable base for exploring Grand Junction and beyond. Home is walking distance from the Amtrak station and downtown GJ. Adam has included many nice touches from the welcome board to condiments in the refrigerator to guidebooks for exploring the area. I am a tea drinker and enjoyed the electric kettle and the mini teapot for steeping loose tea. Lovely home.

Great stay
The home was the perfect size — very spacious for me and my husband with plenty of places throughout the space for us to work, and the sauna was a nice touch! Loved having the water filtration system too. The periodic passing train at night did keep us up at first, but then we got used to it. We’ve dealt with more disruptive sounds in hotel rooms. Overall, great, cozy location with lovely plants, book collections, historic accent pieces, and decor. It was close to downtown, a quick drive to many hikes, on a quiet street with all the kitchenware we needed to cook and even got to enjoy French press coffee in the morning.

Stunning property with everything you need
We chose this property based off of reviews and proximity to the downtown area and were even more impressed once we arrived. The property is immaculately maintained, styled, and very, very clean. Everything you could need is there, including numerous books about the local area which was a nice touch. We experienced no issues, other than a cricket that somehow made its way into the house at night and sung his little heart out. We were able to help him out though! Located near the train tracks so you will hear the trains on occasion, but that is common in many GJ locations, especially in the downtown area. I would highly recommend this property and when we return will look to stay here again.

Great House, Questionable Neighborhood
This property was great! Stayed at 3 different places on my trip and this was by far the best. We had no problem checking in, there was a nice welcome sign when we first walked in and a lovely guest book that was fun to read. Having laundry on-site was a nice bonus! Individual AC in bedrooms was great because it was very hot when we were there. Beds were very comfortable. The only thing I did not like was the neighborhood. While it is close to downtown and Las Colonias park which was nice I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking to either of them. The close by park that I thought would be good for the kids is where many homeless people hung out. Some mention on the listing about being in an industrial area of town might have been nice.

Road trip with grandsons
The property was ideal for myself, my wife and our two grandsons. It was well equipped and the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room were supplied with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. I've never stayed anywhere which had free beer in the kitchen, but that is what Adam supplied with his kegerator. A real bonus! Adam was a friendly and communicative host who gave us plenty of suggestions for things to do with the boys. The property's location isn't particularly scenic but it's in a quiet area a short distance from downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Grand Junction and if we ever came back we would stay in this property again.
