It seems that lots of everyday folk are planning on taking a staycation this year. Everyone’s view of a staycation is a little bit different. Their views could be as different as a blow-up pool in the backyard to a cottage holiday.

Seriously. Some folks buy a kiddie pool and sit around outside, drinking kool-aid, lemonade and sweet tea. That’s their idea of a staycation. To others, it’s just a chance to catch up on things around the house.

Some folks even do a marathon of old tv shows.

To other people, staycation means vactioning ‘near’ your home. This could mean renting a houseboat on a lake (not cheap) or renting a cabin in the woods, or at the lake. It might even mean camping in a tent at the local lake, or just visiting the local lake on a daily basis.

The ultimate though would be renting a little cottage or cabin somewhere in your own state that’s a little bit off the beaten path. Somewhere where there are things you enjoy, whether that’s fishing, tubing, snorkeling, or near Shakespeare in the park. There’s a place for everyone, on every kind of budget.

You don’t have to venture far and wide to get away from it all. You can do it near your own home.
