A few years ago, my husband and I decided to go on an incredible vacation to Europe. Unfortunately, we didn't know very much about booking hotels, and so we ended up staying in some pretty "interesting" places. When we weren't scared about the other guests, we were worried about taking home bed bugs, and we were surprised about the pricing! After that experience, we decided to research travel accommodations, so that we weren't ever put in that same situation ever again. This blog is a cumulative report of our findings--which is why this website is chock full of information about travel and lodging. Read on to find out more.

3 Types Of Accomodations For A Vacation In The Mountains
James Butler
If you're planning a vacation in the mountains, there are multiple places that you may be able to stay. Here are a few lodging categories to help you find the type of accommodations that are suitable for your needs:
Cabins
A tiny two-room building may come to mind when you think of a mountain cabin, but that is not always the case. Many cabins in the mountains have a resort-type feel, due to luxurious decor and amenities. In addition, a cabin can have multiple stories and enough rooms to allow an entire family to vacation.
The cost of renting a cabin can be shared among adult family members if a large group is planning to stay together. The accommodations can make it easy for groups to relax and socialize without being rooms apart in a large hotel.
In addition, since cabins generally offer kitchen appliances and utensils, a family vacationing in a cabin can save money by preparing most of their own meals. Some cabins offer amazing views and recreational facilities that can be enjoyed by a group, such as large hot tubs and saunas.
Hotels
Hotels can also be used to accommodate mountain vacationers. However, you should be sure to review all of the amenities of the hotel before making a selection. Hotels that offer suites with sofa beds can help parents accommodate their children during their vacation. In addition, perks, such as a free breakfast can help curtail some of the costs associated with the vacation.
Still, it is important to make sure that the hotel is near the sites and activities that you would like to enjoy during your stay. For instance, if you are planning to ski during the trip, it is wise to select a hotel that is near a skiing resort, so that you do not have to travel great distances to enjoy the snow. In addition, hotels that are located in natural environments where you can hike or bike along trails can offer much-needed restorative solitude during your vacation.
Campsites
If your family loves the outdoors, a campsite may be an appropriate option for you. However, be sure to pack wisely. Temperatures can drop severely in the mountains at night and sufficient preparation should be made to ensure that you and your loved ones remain warm and safe. In addition, be sure to learn about the types of wildlife that may the nearby before you make the trip. Bears and mountain lions sometimes reside in the mountains and can pose a dangerous threat in isolated areas, especially for campers who take along small children.
