When it comes to planning a #vacation, women rule!

Our website analytics prove how critical women are to planning “the vacation”. With an average time on site of 00:06:20; RentWisconsinCabins.com seems to be playing an important role. Of the million-plus visitor views our website received; 65% come from WOMEN. Even more staggering is the percentage of WOMEN who send inquiries – just over 74%! Ladies, we salute you. Without your dedication to having-a-plan, husbands and kids would be left sitting on the couch thinking about renting a Wisconsin cabin, cottage, lodge or home instead of actually renting a Wisconsin cabin, cottage, lodge or home.

You might be thinking that 00:06:20 is a long time to be on a website. But you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. That’s what we try to do …make it fun. We believe your vacation should START with the Search for a Wisconsin vacation rental. Because our online selection is one of the largest, you might find several vacation properties that meet your needs–we think that’s a good thing. It’s time well-spent because at RentWisconsinCabins.com you always book directly with vacation rental owners and managers. They are your best tour guides! Don’t risk paying a higher rental fee by booking though third-party websites, always book direct.

It’s that “planning” time of the year again ladies. Not that you need us to remind you ッ

Enjoying a Fall Vacation in Wisconsin – “Colorama”

If we ask vacationers to tell us their favorite vacation memory, we typically don’t expect to hear about their road trip. Bustled with excitement, the road trip always seems to take longer than anticipated. Traveling with kids? We’re sure you’re used to the classic, “ARE WE THERE YET?!” We don’t even think we’re crazy to suggest that some adults may have slipped this phrase now and then. And finally, as the vacation comes to a close and you’re all packed up you’ll think, “Do we really have to go now?” That’s the drive home that no one is ready for.

It’s time to enjoy the road trip too.

We get it. When compared to the vacation itself, it’s hard to compete. But as fall begins in Wisconsin, we want to change this mentality. Sure, biking the scenic trails of Wisconsin, visiting an apple orchard, enjoying autumn inspired events and other fun activities may trump the “drive time.” Yet, we can say that this colorful drive will be something to enjoy.

Don’t dread the travel time! It’s time to enjoy the colorful drive to your next vacation destination. It’s not too late to book your perfect Wisconsin vacation property. And where can you turn to find that? We’ve got you covered. Search over 700 Wisconsin vacation rentals & book directly with the property owners to save.

Wisconsin, Fall, Colorful, Road trip, Driving, Autumn

For those of you looking for a Wisconsin color report, we recommend using the Department of Tourism’s Fall Color Report tool – it’s pretty neat.

The Minnesota Journey Begins

JM Creative Group is excited to have RentMinnesotaCabins.com up and running! Whether you are a MN vacation rental owner, or a Minnesota-bound vacationer — we hope you enjoy our new website. Vacationers; look for the rental selection to steadily grow over the next several months. Rental owners: our ‘flagship’ website, RentWisconsinCabins.com has 716 rentals listed – we offer affordable advertising and target AREA renters (those most-likely to rent from you).

How are WE are different than other rental listing websites? Why do vacationers choose our website versus the well-established national listing sites? Why would rental owners want to list their properties with us? Lets look at these separately:

What are we doing different?
Other companies have chosen to create ONE website to promote vacation rentals around the country (in some cases, world); we’re building unique websites for EACH state. Currently Live are; RentWisconsinCabins.com; RentMinnesotaCabins.com; and RentMichiganCabins.com. RentNewYorkCabins.com is going Live next month, and 15 more state-specific websites will roll out in 2014. Why this approach? Since the explosion of the Internet; vacationers have been searching for rentals by state. Here is the problem: Google has no choice but to give high rankings to national web portals whose focus is on presenting a massive selection of rentals that vacationers are not interested in. Here is our solution: Offer vacationers a niche website focused on their state-specific search.

Developing individual state-specific websites allows our team to use pertinent search criteria that is unique to each state. Once established, these state sites naturally rank on page 1, usually in the number 1 position. What is pertinent search criteria? Minnesota rentals don’t offer mountain-views, so you won’t see that as a search criteria. You WILL find pertinent criteria like “on large recreation lake”. The criteria is state-specific because the website is state-specific.

Why do vacationers choose our websites?
On RentMinnesotaCabins.com, every rental is IN Minnesota. On RentWisconsinCabins.com, every rental is IN Wisconsin. As soon as vacationers arrive at one of our websites, they are presented with an interactive STATE MAP OF RENTALS. The search begins on the HOME PAGE. No drilling down through several links to find a state. Vacationers would rather book directly with rental owners/managers – that is what we offer.

Why would rental owners want to list with us?
It’s affordable advertising with incredible ROI. With a single cabin listing starting at $95/yr — it’s a no-brainer to list your rental(s). Imagine your listing(s) in front of targeted consumers – that’s our advantage. We track listing views, archive inquiries, and give you full access to a log in Property Manager (which you use to update your listing). NOTE: We even set up your listing(s) for you. We write original content, upload pictures, add rates, link to rental business website and social websites. Then, when you have time, you can log in and review/update your listing(s)!

Please enjoy our growing website focused on Minnesota Vacation Rentals!
