5 Vacation Rental Spots for Summer Savings

Only about 30% of homes in this popular Pennsylvania resort area belong to full-time residents, says Larry Ditty, a realtor and owner of Century 21 Select Group, which operates 14 offices throughout the region. “The renters aren’t flooding in like they used to,” he says. “The people who are still coming are the same people who have been coming up for years.” Coupled with the large number of lake and mountainside resorts built during the recent boom, availability is the highest it’s been in years, says Ryan Bailey, president of vacation-rental site ResortsandLodges.com.

Sample deal: Book the Woodloch Pines Resort’s Stars & Stripes Midweek Package from July 6-11, and pay $3,500 for accommodations for a family of four in one of the privately-owned guest homes on the golf course. That’s down from prices that reached $7,500 to $8,000 during peak weeks last summer, says Bailey. You’ll save up to 56%.
