House was great for what we needed while in GJ for a state swim meet. Close to CMU, quiet inside, cool and clean. Queen mattress was terrible but other three beds were fine.

My wife and I recently stayed at The Train House, a great experience, great central place / base for all of our adventures in and around Grand Junction. Super-quiet neighborhood & close to downtown area with shops & restaurants, 20 min to Palisade, 20 min to Fruita, approx 50 min to Grand Mesa. We did need to contact our host for one small minor thing, & she is or should be a SUPER-HOST, so so nice & request was taken care of quick same day!! We loved sitting on the back deck in the mornings & evenings, & plan to be back in Grand Junction again. We'll definately stay here again!! Thanks again to our host!

The house exudes charm, is spotless, and the host is exceptionally kind and considerate. Definitely a repeat customer here!

We wanted to have a central location for our family vacation and Grand Junction was it. After looking for places to stay we came across the "Train House" and it looked like it would fit us perfectly, since there were five of us. We arrived in the evening and the lights were on for us, which was nice. Everyone had their own bed to sleep in, which was great. The kids enjoyed playing battleship on the front porch. There were other games available for use and cards. The kitchen had plenty of plates for us to use. There were some items that we didn't have to purchase available, like coffee, mustard, flour, sugar, creamer, and some others. We enjoyed using the grill and cooking meals there rather than going to a restaurant. I really enjoyed having a washer and dryer so we didn't need to pack as many clothes. There was plenty of room so we weren't on top of each other like we would have been if we stayed in a hotel. After visiting a few National Parks, we would come back to relax and eat dinner at the house. Everyone was really happy with the house. It is an older house but it is a great place to stay. I recommend the "Train House" if you have a family and are planning to stay in Grand Junction.

Nice vintage house. Great location; walking distance to downtown and the ballpark. Damp and musty smelling when we arrived. Bathroom poorly cleaned. Emails to the property manger about the lock box went unanswered.

We stayed here with our family. Grand Junction is a great town. We hiked and rode mountain bikes. The house was great. Lots of charm.
The shed for storing bikes was especially useful.

Train House is a nice older home with lots of character, and I mean that in a good way!
Location is great as we walked downtown to see the lights on Christmas Eve. Rise said the home was very clean and that's a great compliment coming from her. Also close to Colorado National Monument was out destination.
Thanks.

From our first contact with Diana to see if we could get in a little early (which she arranged) to a lovely jar of homemade salsa with chips on arrival, this beautiful antique home is full of history and character!! The furnishings and decor are so comfortable but the antiques and original kitchen and kitchen table transport you back in time!!! So amazing and fun!! Location is great and host is tops!!! Highly recommend this incredible VRBO!!! You will love it!!!

Well appointed, cute, nostalgic house with all the things to make our stay comfortable. While it was just two of us, this house could handle several more comfortably. Great owner-made salsa too! Super home base for surrounding National Parks, Grand Mesa, hiking, biking, fishing! Very close to CMU as well. We will be back!

It was a great location. Lots of well thought out features. ( ex.: motion detected night lights, bike wash station, access to garage for bike storage).Tasteful vintage decorations.

We really enjoyed our time at the train house. It was comfortable and welcoming! There were lots of supplies at hand. The owner even left us a basket with delicious homemade Salsa and chips. There were also bikes in the shed that were fun to ride around the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend staying in this cute house. Thanks for everything!

Whatever you might need is provided
We enjoyed coming home each evening to the interesting older home "Train House". It was the perfect spot for exploring the Colorado Monument Nat. Park as well as Black Canyon of the Gunnison Nat. Park. Found a wonderful winery in Palisade with live music and lots of spots downtown less than a mile from our door. The house was well outfitted with anything we could have wanted and everything was easy. We loved the back deck and finished off our day there each evening. Limited TV channels so receommend ROKU if you have one.

I picked this home for easy access to Colorado National Monument and Grand Mesa to enjoy a hiking trip with my family. I was surprised how quiet the neighborhood is since it is so close to the train tracks. I heard the trains a few times but the noise was not a bother. The home is clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location
Just a wonderful little house. It felt like home with cozy furnishings and fun decor, we could tell the owners must be family oriented and loving with fun little touches like model trains and a chalkboard my kids loved. The location was ideal with downtown, the River and several parks within walking distance. We really enjoyed the relaxing stay.
