The property was acceptable, but had a serious issue.Mesa County has adopted the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) as part of its efforts to ensure safe residential sleeping space. The (IRC) in the 2024 version, as well as, numerous previous revisions require that bedrooms have at least one emergency escape and rescue opening.The house is advertised and priced as having 5 bedrooms. This is not the case. This VRBO house has a bedroom in the basement that does not comply with the IRC requirements. There are no windows in this room, it cannot be considered a bedroom.My family had to adapt to having one less bedroom than advertised and paid for.Reference the 2024 International Building Code (IRC) Section R319.1 Emergency escape and rescue opening required.

Everything was great. Comfortable and inviting.

Nice house, great views, great location - quiet. Back porch off the kitchen was a great place to relax with coffee in the morning. Loved the downstairs with the big table which was great for games. Kitchen was well equipped with a great refrigerator. Overall great location as a base for sightseeing.

We were displeased with our VRBO. The home was large enough to accommodate our group. We were in Grand Junction for a Church convention which lasted 8 days. This home could be spectacular if it was kept up. It is in great need of some TLC. It is starting to fall apart in many areas. A home of this size should be equipped with Central Air and not with an evaporation cooling system. We had problems with cooling the house from day one of our stay until we left. One of the bedrooms lights or ceiling fans would not work, even after we let the owners know from day one. They never came out to fix the problem. The water heating system failed towards the final days of our stay and because it was Sunday, it could not be fixed. So, it was either freezing cold showers or no showers at all. We had to boil water on the stove to clean dishes the old fashion way. The website listing needs to be updated, because it shows the workout room with a treadmill which has been replaced with a weight machine. Everyone was going to use the treadmill to exercise and there was none as advertised. My recommendation to others, would be to look at other homes in the area, until this VRBO's issues have been fixed.
