Spent part of our Spring Break in Fruita to take in the trails and activities. Excellent home with all of the amenities, and centrally located to the National Monument and multiple trail systems for mountain biking and hiking. Would definitely book again.

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.

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!

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

This is one of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed in. It was spacious and perfect for a family gathering. It was comfortable and well stocked. Convenient location for nearby mountain biking. Large garage to safely store bikes. We couldn’t have asked for more and hope to come back again soon!!

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!

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.

We searched for just the right place and found it! It was our first VRBO experience and we couldn’t be happier. Spacious! Clean! Quiet! Accommodating!! The hosts kept in contact during our stay to make sure everything was just right. We highly recommend the hosts and the property!

This the second time we have stayed in this property. Very clean, very easy to use and the house is well stocked in the kitchen for cooking meals! We also used the concierge service for groceries because we were getting in late. This service was awesome! Thank you visit Fruita! You are awesome.

Had a handful of my camera and video crew for the 23 Country Jam Video department stay here. While we didn't spend much time in the unit, it was accommodating and a good fit for my team.

Absolutely gorgeous house, incredible value, great location. ZERO regrets. Just know if you are on a biking trip, there is no garden hose to spray off bikes after riding and they explicitly say they won’t provide them. Also the internet is adequate for streaming etc (download approx 250Mbps), but if you want to upload pics or video of your vacation each night, the upload speed of 8Mbps was prohibitively slow. Again, ZERO regrets, amazing place!! Just bring a little garden hose and plan on uploading footage after you leave ;). Thanks for the great stay!!! Easily a 5-star!

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.
