Discover HomeExchangeJanine and Ben’s home in Williamstown, MA: Sleeps 10 people
“Our family spent last weekend at Janine and Ben's beautiful home and could not have had a better exchange experience. Janine was very easy to communicate with leading up to our exchange, answered all of our questions, and provided great recommendations for local activities and dining. We arrived late in the evening after a long drive to find a basket full of all sorts of local goodies, which was such a nice touch. Their house was just what we were looking for. It is a really unique, beautiful home with tons of character. Their property was just beautiful, and our children particularly enjoyed checking the chicken coop for eggs and picking apples from the many trees throughout their property. We had a great weekend getaway and would exchange with them again in a heartbeat.” - Kim
Dana’s cabin in Incline Village, NV: Sleeps 19 people
“Words truly cannot describe how spacious, beautiful, clean, and truly amazing and completely dialed in with every toy imaginable for summer or winter fun in Tahoe! This place is fabulous and we had the best time! From rafting, to frisbee golf, to beach, to hiking, you name it. They have it all plus tons of board games, pool, ping pong, corn hole, the list goes on. Dana is the sweetest most accommodating host. What a very fun and memorable vacation! We cannot wait to go back!” - Jennifer
April’s home in Burlington, VT: Sleeps 10 people
“We really enjoy the house and the great location in Burlington. So close to everything but in a quiet neighborhood. We loved the private beach. The house is perfect for a family.
We recommend for a road trip in Vermont!!!” - Véronique
Richard’s home in Santa Rosa Beach, FL: Sleeps 18 people
“Absolutely gorgeous accommodations. Sparkling clean. Both kitchens had everything you needed to prepare and serve a large group. Every bed was so comfortable. The massive place was decorated with incredible taste. The pool was immaculate. Even with a large group it never seemed crowded. It was a perfect place for a group vacation.” - Betty
Todd’s Home in Dewey Beach, DE: Sleeps 23 people
“Yvette was extremely helpful with recommendations and communication before and during the stay. The home is so unique - even better in person even than the pictures. It's a very beachy interior design with such a unique layout that makes it ideal for multiple families staying together. It's an incredible location - walkability to so many things but most importantly the beach. We went in the winter months but still enjoyed a change of scenery. Thank you for the stay!” - Nicole
Paula’s vista in Grass Valley, CA: Sleeps 12 people
“Paula was incredibly accommodating and the house is even nicer than expected. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 (only one couple and 4 singles, in 5 beds total). The views are fabulous. We hung out mostly on the screened porch with the epic views. Loved the chorus of frogs in their water feature. The kitchen is fully equipped, including both tea and coffee stations. If you exchange with Paula, plan for down time at the house - you won't want to leave!” - Allison
Look for your next family tripNicole’s mountain getaway in Truckee, CA: Sleeps 13 people
“Nicole agreed to host our family (and extended family) for a small family reunion. Their home in Truckee was perfect. The house is beautiful and the surrounding environment even better. We loved that there was a hiking trail system just at the end of the street. We also spend some time at the community pool and beach. The boys had so much fun. It's an amazing place to relax in nature.” - Emilie
Suzanne’s home in Sacramento, CA: Sleeps 12 people
“My family and I had the best time at Suzanne’s home. She is a very nice host and her home is beautiful and cozy. Her home is in the cutest neighborhood with tree lined streets. Although we didn’t get the chance to use her pool/hot tub, we appreciated that the location was perfect for us having a little one right across from the park, many other kid friendly places, yummy restaurants, and very close to the downtown area - it was awesome! Thanks again Suzanne!” - Pauline
Debra’s lake house in Monticello, Indiana: Sleeps 18 people
“Absolutely awesome lake house getaway. It was me and my husband and four of our friends. We loved connecting with our inner child and floating on all the awesome floats and playing corn hole and roasting s'mores in the fire pit. The weather was perfect while we were there so we spent most of our time outside but even on a rainy day you would still have a great time because they have lots of games and wifi and a TV with all the services. It is a great spot for a big family or friends who want to have a relaxing lake getaway.”
