A perfect Setting
I stayed here for a few days with my sister and brother. The Train House was just to my liking. It’s comfortable, well-organized; and the location is perfect. I love its history and charm. Our hostess Dianna went over and above in helping when I called with a question. Not once did she mention that I could have easily found my answer in the thoroughly informative guest book she’s provided. She was kind and as warm and welcoming as the lovely porch lights that greeted us when we returned to the house at night. My siblings and I made some great memories visiting Colorado National Monument, Canyonlands, and Arches National Park during our stay. But there’s so much more to do and see in the area, I would love to make a return trip to the Train House.

Great Stay for us!
We stayed here when we came to get my daughters senior pictures done at lavender farm! The house was so cozy and convenient to everything we needed. Cute neighborhood! Only thing to change would be the branch hanging over in driveway that kept hitting my car. Thank you for making the stay so easy for us!

Great Place / SUPER-HOST!!
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!

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!!!

Cute house in Grand Junction
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!

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.
