Especially if you have a large group that you're traveling with, where to stay becomes a major issue. While there is always the option of staying at a hotel, if you have a large number of guests coming along for a vacation or family gathering, this can become expensive. Since there are a certain number of people you can have in each room, multiple rooms are needed and this, especially for an extended stay, can be a pretty big burden on the pocketbook.
If families are older, it is possible to split them up in several types of accommodations. If you want to keep everyone together, there are options as well.
Ranging from bed and breakfasts to cabins, there is something out there for every situation. Take into consideration the amount of time you'll be staying in a certain area. If it is going to be an extended stay, finding a home, condo or apartment to rent could be your best option. This way, you have the conveniences of a kitchen for meals and that helps cut out a bunch of expense instead of eating out for three meals a day.
Many vacation rentals can be found with a wide range of amenities. If you're looking for that home away from home feel, fully furnished and supplied houses are available and some can sleep a large number of people. If you are staying somewhere a little more rustic, a great log cabin with fantastic mountain or lake views might be ideal. Cottages, Ranch properties and even those that will allow your pets to stay with you can be found all over the country.
Just remember that staying in a hotel is not your only option. There are many other types of lodging that can accommodate you just as well if not better than staying at a hotel on your next vacation. Look into it, figure out what you need and want, and you'll certainly find something to please you and everyone you are traveling with.
