All that was promised...and more!

This home was in a very convenient location and had even more space than expected, so it was perfect for a family holiday get together. Being pet-friendly, with a fenced in back yard, made this a perfect choice that may become an annual tradition!

Small town, great house, fun MTB trails

Stayed at this Fruita house for a week with friends. Great house with lots of room for several adults, large two car garage. The minimal light pollution allowed views of the Milky Way and meteor showers-awesome. Great spots outside and in to gather and hang out. Make sure to visit Grand Junction a few miles away. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Our local and out-of-town family of 6 (plus dog) came together over the Christmas holiday for a wonderful stay at Black Bear IV. The house was immaculate, roomy and well stocked with necessities. The location provided easy access to the numerous outdoor activities that the area is known for. Definitely a 5-star accommodation!

A beautiful and spacious house/ home

We enjoyed staying at this clean rental house. It had all the amenities for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. A spacious living room and a nice kitchen with all the necessary cooking utensils for preparing meals for our family was so convenient. The bedrooms were just right with comfortable beds. Another plus is the patio with furniture where we had our breakfast each morning. Yes will stay there again.

I picked this location because it is close to my daughter’s house. Once we checked in it was just as nice as the photos indicated. Since there was only 2 of us we had lots of room. We will rent here again & hopefully be able to stay in Black Bear or another of the properties in this neighborhood. L

Great rental for short or long stays

Spent a long weekend in the area after living there for over 50 years for a funeral service for my mother. With serveral family members attending it was more economical and pleasurable to rent a Vrbo and the Black Bear house was perfect for us. It was my 2nd time renting a vrbo and it was a fantastic experience. I will not hesitate to search visit Fruita property management inventory to rent on my return to the area again.
