Ten Reasons to Book a Cabin in 2023

Ten Reasons to Book a Cabin in 2023

Cabins are excellent places to get away from it all and have a relaxing vacation. Here are 10 reasons to book a cabin this year.

[Browse ALL It’s Cabin Time Rentals!]

  1. Cabins contain all the fun of camping, without the hassle of putting up a tent. You will not have to worry about inclement weather or lumpy terrain under your back as you sleep.

2. A cabin will give you the space to relax, whereas hotel rooms only provide a space for sleeping. Play a game of cards at the kitchen table, or read a riveting novel in the bedroom. You will be able to maximize the amount of time you spend at your cabin because you will like being there, and will have a space to do activities you enjoy.

[Browse Minnesota Cabins!]

3. Cabins include cooking facilities, so you can make meals you and your family would love. You can skip noisy, busy restaurants, and stock up on your favorite groceries. Cooking as a family can be fun, too.

4. Cabins provide space for you and your family to spread out, so you will not need to be in the same area all the time. You and your family can enjoy as much alone time or togetherness as you desire.

5. Cabins offer peace and quiet, and are generally tucked away from highways and other noisy areas. You won’t have to worry about thin hotel walls, or hearing the sounds of people walking past your room at night.

[Browse Texas Cabins!]

6. In a cabin, you can enjoy nature without sacrificing the benefits of home. Cabins offer an ideal vacation experience because they can be as comfortable or as rustic as you would like. You won’t have to sacrifice hot showers or home-cooked meals if you do not want to.

7. Cabins offer beautiful picturesque surroundings, since they are not in populated urban areas. You can enjoy time in the woods, by a lake, or near a river.

8. You can bring your furry friend along. Pet-friendly hotels are few and far between. Booking a cabin ensures you can find a property that will welcome your four-legged friend as well.

[Browse Montana Cabins!]

9. No matter what you are looking for in your next vacation, there is a variety of settings and styles to choose from—looking for an A-frame cabin with a lake view? We’ve got that. Want a vacation home with a pool, hot tub, or fire pit? You can find that here, too.

10. Renting a cabin can be a more affordable option. When you book through Its Cabin Time, you will be booking directly with property owners or local managers. This will save you the fees that other vacation home rental platforms charge.

Growth years like the one we’re coming off of are a lot of work, but they’re exciting too! Our team put in a lot of effort over the past 12 months to bring all of our legacy sites over to AWS and to launch three new state sites at the same time, in Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado.

The result of these projects means a lot more regional, book-direct vacation rental options for travelers, and a lot more user-friendly dashboard capabilities for members. Some of the things we’re most excited to have under our belt in 2022 include: 

  • updated search functionality
  • resort capacity information at your fingertips

New Regional Listing Sites in TX, OK, CO

It’s Cabin Time® in Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado! After a year of setbacks for small businesses everywhere, ItsCabinTime.com is working hard to expand its collection of vacation rental listing sites into new states, bringing the book-direct experience to independent vacation rental owners and property managers of all sizes across the United States.

With our launch of a regional book-direct listing site in Texas (www.RentTexasCabins.com), Oklahoma (www.RentOklahomaCabins.com) and Colorado (www.RentColoradoCabins.com), It’s Cabin Time® is reaching out to independent owners and managers with low introductory rates to help build a robust selection of cabins, cottages, lodges and homes in new areas — and keep travelers coming back to rent with small business owners, without commissions or hidden fees.

Following its launch in May of this year, RentTexasCabins.com welcomed its first small resorts to its membership: Barons CreekSide Swiss Village in Fredericksburg, Country Woods Inn in Glen Rose, and Crystal River Inn in San Marcos! These pioneers of the Texas book-direct movement have since been joined by unique accommodations at Cool Water Acres in Bandera and most recently, River Road Escapes in New Braunfels. Visit RentTexasCabins.com to browse these rentals using our interactive map and search tool.

Also launched in May 2021, RentColoradoCabins.com was up and running this summer with its own early-adopter resort members: Loveland Heights Cottages in Estes Park (right at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park) and Hideout Cabins in Allenspark and Lyons.

In the summer of 2021, It’s Cabin Time® welcomed its latest members to the brand-new RentOklahomaCabins.com — Log Cabin Escape in Caddo and Persimmon Creek Cottages in Sharon.

It’s Cabin Time® is excited about new opportunities to deliver its low-annual fee, commission-free, book-direct listing service to independent vacation rental owners and managers operating their small business in the western United States. We extend our hearty thanks to our new partners in Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado for helping to realize its book direct mission.
