If you thought Airbnb’s were only for one or two people, you’d be mistaken. Tell the kids to start packing while you check out these Airbnb’s in the Northeast that offer something for everyone.

Treehouse vibes in Vermont

What kid would pass up the chance to spend the night in a treehouse? Your kids will have a blast walking along the bridge to get to the cutest treehouse you’ve ever seen. The house was built to let the trees be a part of the house and go right through the floors everywhere. You could easily fit a family of five in here, and maybe more if you got creative.

The pictures are breathtaking and look straight out of a fantasy fairytale. All of the natural wood inside makes it feel like you never actually go inside anywhere. Our favorite detail is the fairy lights that light up the covered bridge at night. The house boasts kid’s toys, books, and board games. For cleaning, they use the 5-step, enhanced cleaning standards to keep you and your family safe.

If your kids are animal lovers, they will be in heaven here, as there are furry friends all over the community for them to play with.

With a vegetable farm and a regular farm within walking distance, there will be plenty of outdoor activities to wear your kids out. This host also used the 5-step enhanced cleaning measures.

Lighthouse magic in Massachusetts

Every kid’s dream is to check out the inside of a lighthouse. If you have a large family or want to get away with another smaller family unit, this home can fit at least eight people. The host follows the 5-step COVID enhanced cleaning process.

The spectacular views never seem to stop. But the best part is that you can actually get in the lighthouse. Go along the walkaway and up the cool spiral staircase and to the top of the tower. It’s all exciting and everyone will enjoy the adventure.

You’ll have amazing ocean views, but the house itself is quite the eye-catcher. Between the 12-sided shape, the stone all over the inside, the bridge, and the wood-carved doors, this folksy medieval even comes with a telescope so the kids can stay up as late as they want to look at the gorgeous sky.
