What to Consider Before Renting a Vacation Cabin

January 19, 2022 by Anton Leave a Comment

Forty million Americans will take at least one vacation annually. Planning those vacations takes a lot of time, effort, research, and financial planning. If you’re trying to prepare for an upcoming vacation, you’re far from alone.

One popular option to consider is renting a vacation cabin. These are especially useful for family or romantic getaways because they provide significantly more privacy and space versus other options.

But how can you be sure you’ve found a reliable cabin rental that will perfectly suit your needs? Continue reading to learn a few of the most important considerations you should make.

Know Your Priorities

Certain aspects of a rental will make it cost more. So, you need to understand what you’re willing to pay more for. For example, you may be willing to pay extra for a lakeside vacation cabin if you enjoy being by the water.

However, you must balance your priorities with your budget. Don’t overspend on something when you could compromise instead. For example, you may want a lakeside vacation rental but might be able to stay within your budget by renting a short walking distance away from the water.

Read Reviews Online

You want to read reviews online before signing any rental contracts. But you don’t only want to read reviews on the individual properties. You’ll also want to read reviews on the owners, whether a person or an entity, on sites like Yelp.

Reviews for the individual properties will give you an idea of their condition. Reading reviews for the owners will give you an idea of the customer service you can expect to receive both before and during your stay. If you’re searching for “intimate getaways near me,” reviews can tell you if you’ve found what you’re looking for.

Review Your Contract In-Depth

Renting a cabin is more like getting an apartment than a hotel. There will be a detailed contract you have to sign. Be sure to review your agreement in-depth.

Specifically, you want to look for any hidden fees. For example, some contracts include a fee for cleaning once you leave that can be negated if you clean the cabin yourself. There may also be fees for additional guests, pets, or if anyone smokes inside the rental.

Review the Amenities

With a vacation cabin, the trade-off for more privacy and space is that you won’t receive hotel-type amenities. That means there will be no room service and no turn-down service.

However, there are other amenities you may be able to take advantage of. For example, you may be able to have extra linens and towels included in your room. Or, you may have access to a kitchen full of appliances.

Understanding what amenities are offered with your rental can help you best pack for your vacation. If you’re not sure something is included, it’s best to ask.
