About This Venue

One of the advantages of hosting a wedding at The Grand Sojourn is the ability to keep your entire wedding party together without sacrificing privacy. Unlike a traditional hotel, where guests may be spread across multiple floors or buildings, or a large cabin where everyone shares common living spaces, The Grand Sojourn allows each household to stay in its own private tiny home while remaining within a short walk of every wedding event. The property features 37 private tiny homes throughout a walkable mountain village. Wedding reservations require a minimum of 15 tiny homes, helping create a more private atmosphere for your celebration while still allowing flexibility for groups of different sizes. Each accommodation includes a private bathroom, kitchenette, Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and climate control, giving guests a comfortable place to relax throughout the wedding weekend.

Accommodation Information

The Grand Sojourn offers on-site lodging across 40 tiny homes, accommodating up to 80 overnight guests. This layout allows wedding parties, family, and friends to stay together on the property while enjoying private sleeping spaces and shared gathering areas throughout the stay.

"The Grand Sojourn was a really unique place to celebrate! The ceremony & reception spaces had incredible mountain views, and our guests loved having their own unit while still being close together. The owners were accommodating throughout the entire process and made it easy from start to finish."
