Saving Money

If i was planning a long term vacation in another state, what would be the best option for housing? Should i just rent a house? nut then i have to buy furniture and appliances.... What about a vacation home? but then im spending a ridiculous amount of money because the good ones are like 4,00 a week witch is more than a months rent here at home! Should i get a hotel room? but how are 12 people gunna fit in there?

None of those things.

You want a vacation rentals website. Something like VRBO (vacation rentals by owner) or airBnB.

You are going on a loooooong vacation (long enough to even consider buying furniture and appliances . . . very weird) w/ TWELVE people?

There are many different options but what works best for your situation depends on many variables. You haven't given us enough info:

How "long" is this "long vacation"?

What state will you be visiting?

Will you be staying in or near a major city, a more rural area or an area noted for tourism?

When will you be making this trip?

What type of budget do you and your travel companions have? FYI - Your example of $4,000/week when divided by 12 comes to about $333 per person per week which is a pretty reasonable price for a week's accommodations in a "vacation area". Just how much are you looking to spend for 12 people?

My response was going to be what Roamsaround said: $4k a week shared among 12 people is pretty reasonable, especially if all of you would like to be in the same building. Buying a bunch of furniture would cost too much, IMO.

Well It's quite difficult to suggest as you didn't mentioned in which "another state" you are going to visit & also most imp for how many days you are going to visit? What is your fix budget for it? I guess you need to provide some more info so members here can help you in better way.

The OP hasn't been back since registering and posting (likely a troll post in the first place)
