When you’re planning a vacation, your accommodations matter quite a bit. The accommodations you choose set the tone for the entire trip. These plans can even influence other vacation choices such as where to eat and what activities to do. According to Bankrate, 19% of scheduled trips are to campgrounds or cabins. One of the big questions people ask while planning their trip is, "Should we book a cabin or a resort?" Let’s look at some of the advantages of each.

Accommodations

Cabins often offer home-like accommodations which include separate bedrooms, bathrooms, a living area, and a kitchen area. This makes it possible for a larger group of people to stay together and spend the most amount of time together on their trip. Each member of the party or each couple will have plenty of privacy as there will be separate bedrooms. This allows for a great amount of space so you can be together while enjoying your personal space.

Resorts often have hotel-style rooms where two to four people share an adjoining bathroom. Resort accommodations normally have fewer features within the room, opting instead for common areas within the property for entertainment, food, and more. If everyone wants their accommodations to just provide a place to sleep in between fun activities, then a resort works perfectly.

Amenities

Cabin rentals offer the amenities of separate rooms, living space, kitchen space, and often outdoor space such as porches or patios. There may also be fire pits or space and equipment for outdoor grilling. Resorts usually offer more entertainment and service options than cabin rentals. Resorts may have pools, boat slips, beach areas, laundry services, fishing stations, and more. Though either is a great choice, it's worth it to take the time and decide which works best for your situation.

Proximity to Attractions



Both cabins and resorts are often located near local attractions. When you can stay near attractions that you want to visit, you simplify your trip and save on travel expenses such as gas. Always do your research on the surrounding area to plan your perfect trip.
