There is nothing better than being on vacation while still having the comforts of home! Vacation homes are perfect since they tend to be extremely comfortable and offer more creature comforts than most hotels. Here are 5 questions from Peak 1 Express to ask when booking a Breckenridge vacation home!

While traveling it can often be a struggle to keep all of your family members and friends together. For some families, not everyone is a human, we have furry family membersChalet as well. Each rental home is different so if you want to bring your furry friend with you, it is best to check with the owner if they allow pets. Inquire if the rental house is pet friendly BEFORE you book. This way you will be aware of any extra costs that will be associated such as cleaning fees or deposits.

Many vacation homes have other fees, besides the price that you are paying per night. Other fees that might be included are extra taxes, cleaning fees, or charges for using the food and amenities provided for you. It is best to ask what is or is not included in the base rate in order to avoid unwanted charges.

Vacation homes are great because unlike hotels there are usually multiple rooms and lots of space. This means there are plenty of areas to spend time with family and friends, or have some much needed space. When booking a rental it is always best to ask about what you may want to bring with you. You may need; linens, towels, extra pillows, etc. Most vacation homes will probably provide these things, but better safe than sorry! Most homes will also have a kitchen so it’s good to ask if you can use all the supplies that are available in the house to cook or if you need to bring some of your own items.

Some owners will make a booklet for you with the rules and information or they may have you read the terms online prior to arriving. Either way it never hurts to ask and make sure. Questions like if the house is smoking or non smoking, if they recycle, or if they have special things you need to know or that they would like you to do are important factors to making your vacation the best possible.

Some other useful questions to ask the owner could be:

“How far away are activities from the location?”

“Are there things such as restaurants nearby?”

“Would you recommend anything special or extra awesome to do around here?”

Hopefully these 5 questions to ask when booking a vacation home will help  guide you to having the best vacation  possible!
