If you are looking for fun ways to spend time with the family this winter, consider renting a cabin. This is a great way to get youngsters away from their electronic devices so everyone can commune with nature and build lasting memories. Below are a few fun activities to enjoy while lounging in the vacation home. 

What Activities Make Stays in Cabin Rentals More Enjoyable?

Cooking Family Dinners

Everyone in the family can have a hand in creating meals to enjoy during the vacation. You can bring the ingredients to the vacation home or pick up items for the menu at a local grocer once you arrive. Younger children can help sort ingredients, while older kids and adults can take the reins when it comes to putting food in the oven or cooking it on the stove. You can make a list of favorite dishes to cook or tickle taste buds with a variety of unfamiliar foods to try. 

Making Holiday Decorations

If you are using the vacation rental over the holidays, you can make the temporary home more festive by creating your own decorations. If the cabin is near a park or forest, consider making a holiday wreath. During a hike around the vacation home, family members can pick up pine cones, fallen leaves, and additional materials to create the decorative display. Just make sure to bring along scissors, glue, string, wires, and anything else you might need from home to make the wreath. 

Playing Board Games 

Bringing along a few board games can provide hours of entertainment during your stay in the vacation home. Try to include games that are appropriate for every age group. This way, even younger family members can participate. Beyond board games, charades and hide-and-seek are popular activities to play with groups.
