Everyone is ready to get out of the house these days. Or at least get into a different house. If your kids are driving you up the walls, give them a chance to go play in someone else’s yard. The Northeast is such a beautiful place filled with historical sites for the parents and plenty of gorgeous scenery for the kids.

If you plan on visiting – skip the stuffy chain hotel. There are plenty of family-friendly Airbnb’s that can accommodate the whole crew. 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.

For cleaning, they use the 5-step, enhanced cleaning standards to keep you and your family safe.
