With Spring right around the corner, many families have already scheduled a trip to take advantage of the time off. Late Spring is the beginning of our high season, which can make finding a Skaneateles luxury vacation rental frustrating. Many families don’t realize how much better it can be to book vacation rentals in Skaneateles instead of staying in a tiny, overpriced hotel suite. In today’s blog, we’re covering the most common reasons more families choose Finger Lakes vacation rentals this Spring instead of hotels or resorts.

During high season, hotels are typically the first to go, although they have really frustrating restrictions. Hotel rooms can be incredibly cramped and lack the basic accommodations you may need to have a great weekend like a fully stocked kitchen with high-end eco-friendly appliances. If you do happen to find a room, it will feel like more of a matchbox, than a luxurious home away from home.

Our luxury vacation rentals are equipped with everything you’ll need to whip up a healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That means no one has to fight over the last bag of peanut M&Ms from the minibar. Unlike crowded resorts, a vacation rental grants you the ultimate level of privacy. You can sit by the lakeside all day without being disturbed. Catch the spectacular colors of a Finger Lakes sunrise or sunset from the comfort of your own backyard. 

For many of us, our pets aren’t just animals, they are a special part of our family! Some hotels have strict no-pet policies, which adds even more concerns while planning. Most pet lovers can choose  one of our pet-friendly luxury rentals because they can bring their WHOLE family with them, not just the ones that walk on two legs! Find a vacation rental near Skaneateles with a great lawn and tons of outdoor space for your furry friend to explore all weekend.

The Finger Lakes region is world-renowned for its natural beauty, yet if you stay in a hotel you’re miles away from scenic beauty. Instead, find a lakeshore vacation rental and spend the afternoon bird watching or meandering through the trails. You can even bring your pet along for a hike.

Long story short, please leave hotel rooms for solo traveling and overnight business trips!
