Have you ever stayed at an Airbnb?
My in-laws have an Airbnb in Yakima, as does my wife’s best friend. They are both quite successful.
Airbnb Family Fun
My family rented one at the entrance to Mount Rainier for New Years Eve and we had a blast. It was a great big cabin with plenty of room for 4 kids, 7 adults, and a dog with a cozy woodstove, log cabin charm, wildlife in the yard, and more.
We have many great memories that staying in a hotel or motel could never provide. I think we spent just over $500 a night for three nights and split between 3 families, it was pretty affordable.
