Get a Vacation Rental in Chicago This November

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Vacation Rental Blogger

November is a great month to travel to Chicago. And it’s your last chance to get your kicks in the Windy City before it descends into The Deep Freeze. On top of the regular attractions Chicago has to offer—museums, superb dining, dazzling architecture—there are a number of special November events to brighten up your stay.

On November 18th, the skating rink is opening at Millennium Park. Bring the family for an exhilarating spin in the outdoor rink in the glitter of Chicago’s skyscrapers. Come back to the Loop on November 19th for the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival and Parade. This great Chicago tradition is a great way to ring in the beginning of the Christmas season with musical and theater performances, ice sculpture demonstrations, and, of course, a parade kicked off by Mickey Mouse and wrapped up with a fireworks display.

And as long as you’re on Michigan Avenue, there is no better time to start on your holiday shopping (or window shopping). Chicago houses many fabulous and unique department stores and boutiques that will be very hard to visit once they are completely frozen. This could be your last chance till spring!

Using www.roomlender.com to book a furnished room or short-term vacation rental for your entire family is a great way to beat the Thanksgiving hotel rush and get in one final jaunt before you have to spend the next month fighting with your relatives—or, ahem, enjoying their company…in the comfort of your home.

Family vacation ideas (I)

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Vacation Rental Blogger

Family vacation spots can be the same year after year, but it’s easy
to mix up your travel routine with a little research. If you’re stuck
in a rut of visiting the same destinations over and over, read on for
some new choices for the best family travel destinations. The first
decision to make is what kind of vacation you want to plan: relaxing
or adventurous? Cultural or full with outdoor fun? A road trip of  a
lifetime or a cruise vacation? No matter which kind you choose, an
affordable family vacation can be right around the corner with a
little preparation and research.

The best family vacation spots are the ones that both allow parents to
relax and provide entertainment for kids. For this reason, beach
getaways are very popular. If you’re looking for an affordable
vacation, choose an all inclusive destination where parents can enjoy
the relaxing beach and kids will keep busy with scuba diving, water
skiing, and building sand castles.

Another way to add value to a trip is to choose vacation rentals. This
is one of the best tactics for trip planning for an affordable family
vacation in any location. Families who choose an outdoor adventure
vacation often choose rentals. The added convenience of a kitchen,
outdoor living space, and a barbecue can enhance a family trip.
Planning your own meals and preparing snacks for a hike can help keep
the cost of a trip down and also provide healthy choices for your
family. Whether you choose a cozy cabin rental in Lake Tahoe and spend
your days white water rafting, fishing, and hiking or head into the
Adirondack Mountains for a rental on a lake, a vacation rental will
ensure that your family has everything they need to relax.
