Everyone Needs More Space and Privacy Than a Hotel.

Not only does it provide the necessary privacy, it also allows you spread out and not live out of a suitcase for the time you are staying. Not only that, how lovely is it to be able to walk to the kitchen in the middle of the night to grab a snack without having to get dressed to leave a hotel room. Space is essential to relax.

  • Space: Vacation rentals often provide multiple rooms, living areas, and outdoor spaces, making them ideal for families or groups who need more room than a typical hotel offers.
  • Privacy: You won’t have to deal with neighbors in adjacent hotel rooms or shared hallways, offering a quieter and more exclusive stay.

Vacation Rental Homes are Cost-Effective for Groups

Let’s say your company is attending a convention, or your family is in from out of town for a family reunion. Hotels can get pricy, and fast. Vacation rentals offer a great alternative allowing multiple people to have privacy in one place without random people walking down the hallway! No more staff meetings in “Joes Room” or running up large tabs at the hotel bar for ordinary drinks. You can use the space for your group much more efficiently when you are all together.

  • Renting a vacation home can be more economical for larger groups, as the per-person cost often decreases when splitting a whole house versus booking multiple hotel rooms.
  • Homes often include kitchens, allowing you to save money by cooking your meals instead of eating out for every meal.

MINNeSTAY Makes You Feel Like Home

Instead, you could step into your vacation rental kitchen in your robe while you make the perfect cup of Joe. What if you want a midnight snack or a nightcap overlooking a beautiful lake. You get all the comforts of home, away from home. No more fighting the wine bottle when you forgot the corkscrew. All the comforts of home are at your fingertips. Many of the MINNeSTAY properties offer great outdoor spaces too. Don’t limit yourself to the confines of a hotel. Make your stay feel more like home with MINNeSTAY.

  • Vacation rentals are designed to feel cozy and personal, often equipped with amenities like full kitchens, laundry facilities, and comfortable living areas.
  • Staying in a home can provide a sense of comfort and authenticity, especially in unique or local-style properties.
  • We also think romantic escapes to a private home are always more enjoyable that a hotel room.

Vacation Rental Properties Offer Tailored Amenities

  • Many vacation rentals come with private amenities, such as pools, hot tubs, game rooms, and even outdoor spaces like patios or barbecues, offering more options for leisure.
  • Unlike hotels, rentals often include extras like board games, bikes, or beach equipment, catering to different interests.
