Heading up to a friend’s cabin by the lake for your summer vacation? Bring a gift!
Today, more and more vacationers are staying in a home or condo than ever before. Some statistics point to at least a quarter of travelers (24%) are forgoing a traditional hotel or resort for the ease and comfort of a vacation home or condominium that they either own or will rent. Not to mention, the value Americans are looking for – 94% of leisure travelers say, “value for the price” is the primary reason for choosing vacation rental lodging. Of course, it helps if you own a vacation home, or you know someone who’s willing to let you use their place for your rest and relaxation.

Top 5 Reasons Vacationers Choose Rentals
- Value for price
- Privacy
- Full kitchen facilities
- Amenities
- More space overall
“Togethering” Vacation Trend
Why do folks value more space and privacy for a vacation? More and more are taking trips with children, extended family and friends. Grandparents are leading this “togetherness” trend, with more than one-third of leisure travelers vacationing with their grandchildren.
Celebration Vacations
Another trend in leisure travel is the emergence of celebration vacations, with 69% of vacationers taking a trip to celebrate a special occasion. These vacations are ideal for staying in a rental, to accommodate more people than in the average traveling party.
