Staycation in a dream house - Vacasa

Disclaimer- Thank you Vacasa for hosting my family at this dream destination. All opinions are my own.

I have stayed near Smokies all of 6 times now but never stayed at such luxury. I would always go the traditional route of a hotel or a cabin. But this time around I wanted to try out something different and hence booked our stay with Vacasa. And OH MY GOD. This was a dream vacation for us.

Firstly totally socially distant. No hassle of a hotel room. The entire house to ourselves. Plus you have the flexibility and comfort of staying at a home.

Vacasa is a vacation rental company which handles the property. You book a property you like on their website. They have numerous options starting from cabins, to lake houses, oceanfront properties and monthly vacation rentals as well which makes it super convinient you get what you like.

Vacasa is a full service vacation rental management company based in Portland, Oregon, United States. It provides property management services for over 25,000 vacation rentals throughout North America, as well as Belize and Costa Rica.  

I stayed at one of their lake front property and it was nothing less then a dream come true. The house was a 4 bedroom house with a basement with a pool table, arcades, dartboard, basketball ring and lots and lots of board games. Not only was it spacious but also quite secluded from other homes around which made it a perfect getaway.

With the COVID protocols they are taking extra cleaning measures and many of their homes also have gate locks for which you receive the code the day of arrival. So it is contact free. 

We made the most out of our trip. We bought an inflatable boat (also customized it with motor and shade) and explored the lake surrounding the house. The lake provided option for fishing and we managed to catch a catfish. 

We spent our chilly night cozying upto the fireplace and warm barbeque dinner which was so relaxing.

We spent hours playing in the basement. It was a perfect luxury getaway.

I would definitely rent from vacasa and stay in a convinient home at any of the states when on a vacation and spend time with friends and families.
