The Moon House. Come mingle with the stars.

The Moon House is situated off of Highway 133 on one of the oldest Orchards in the Valley (the Linman homestead est. 1910). The Moon House is the perfect getaway for travelers that are looking for a little more space, elegance, and amenities. Relax, unwind, and enjoy the views of the West Elks and the night sky on the covered porch with outdoor dining for 6. The house telescope lets you explore the galaxy and the soaking tub is a perfect nightcap to your hikes and wine tours. Bring your friends or family for an unforgettable Western Slope adventure. Book now to guarantee your reservation! The 3 acres allow enough set- back from the highway and the neighbors (Pitt Construction and Thistle Whistle Farms) to enjoy a peaceful dinner or stargazing on the deck. Park up to 4 cars in your private driveway. You are free to roam and pick your bounty from the 7 Red Delicious apple trees right outside your bedroom window. The entrance has 6 stairs with railings on the front deck. The Master bedroom is complete with a king bed and reading nook. The Master 5 piece bath has a separate shower and soaking tub with bath salts and bubbles.
Each of the other bedrooms have comfy queen beds with Smart TV's loaded with tubi, Netflix (with your own password), Roku, Sling, and a plethora of other channels. Each room has its own LED Moon light with different setting that can be operated with a touch of a finger. The shared bath has a tub/shower combo. There is WiFi throughout the house and yard so you can handle your emails anywhere on the property. A backyard (50'x100') is fully fenced for a private space to throw the frisbee.

If you'd rather cook and eat outside, there is a 6-person dining table on the covered front porch. The house telescope is easy to move, maneuver, and use to soak up the night's sky. You are free to pick as many apples that you'd like from the 7 apple trees on the property. The one car garage with automatic opener is perfect for protecting your vehicle or outdoor gear. Alexa, a Smart Speaker, is fully loaded with any song or album request you may have. The breakfast nook is outfitted with Cards Against Humanity, puzzles, "Shoot the Moon", and playing cards.
