GeauxSioux Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Since, we have a rather large family, we don't fit well in hotel rooms. A couple of years ago we were attending a wedding in St. Paul and found it much cheaper to rent a house than stay in a hotel. We found the house on VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner). St. Paul had quite a few to choose from. We were going to visit Grand Forks over Christmas, so I checked to see if Grand Forks had any VRBO options. We lucked out. Grand Forks has one. It fit us perfectly and had a garage, which is great in the winter when you are driving up from Florida. If you are heading to GF and need a little room to spread out, I recommend checking this out.

dmksioux Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I was going to say check out Air bnb also. But when I checked for GF, there was only one listing...and guess what??? It's the same one you posted https://www.airbnb.com/s/Grand-Forks--ND--United-States?guests=&checkin=&ss_id=xst2o2ca&source=bb There are actually a few other listings but they are for private rooms.

SiouxVolley Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 VRBO usually has many selections in large cities, as some people can't rent out a home on a weekly basis and take home much more than a long term rental would. Great for family gathering and usually cheaper and more convenient than hotels. Used VRBO in Seattle and it was ideal for a large gathering and convenient to downtown.

GeauxSioux Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Since the first VRBO that we went to was booked for our recent visit to GF, we stayed at a new one in the Aspen Lofts. Great place and has an amenities building. We were so busy that we didn't get to take advantage of that part, but the unit was great. If you are going to stay in GF for a few nights, I recommend this place. https://www.vrbo.com/999868 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets kind of pricey, though, after you add in the cleaning fee and the service fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have enough people that you would need two hotel rooms, this works better for us. The deposit gets reimbursed, so the only thing you are looking at is the standard rate plus tax and the cleaning fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
