Thanksgiving in Fruita - Sweet Yellow Duplex

The location was perfect and the accommodations met our family’s needs perfectly. We visited Fruita to spend Thanksgiving with our grandchildren and other family members. The grandchildren lived a couple of blocks away from this sweet little duplex. We will be return renters for sure.
