Wedding Stay

In town for my son’s wedding. This place was perfect. On a very quiet dead end street. I assume it’s a fairly new place. It is a duplex and we rented out both sides. Close to town and short distance to everything that the area offers Hiking/Biking/Shops/Etc. Overall, excellent VRBO for the area.

Thank you for the wonderful review, and congratulations on your son’s wedding! We’re so happy to hear the home was a perfect fit for your special occasion. Renting both sides of the duplex is a great way to make the most of the space, and we’re glad the quiet location and proximity to everything worked out so well for you. We'd love to host you again anytime you're back in the area!

We ride the BLM on dirt bikes and have been coming to Grand Junction for 10-12 years from the St. Louis area. We like to try new places that come up on VRBO and this one had just about everything anyone will need! Great location to 25 road access to the trail head! Great neighbors too
