Let me introduce you to HiChee. It’s a website that allows you to compare prices on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking (.com), and other lodging companies. Once you have a link of certain property in either of the sites mentioned earlier, you can paste it on the search bar of Hichee. Then put in your check-in and check-out dates as well as how many guests are with you. Wait for a few seconds and voila! Now, you can easily see how much you’ll save on your vacation!
In these case, VRBO has a bit of an issue and I want to see if I can rent it for less.

2. Wilder at Hocking Hills – Aspen Haus
Location: New Plymouth, Ohio
A modern cabin expertly designed by talented interior decorators nestled between the trees in a private woods? Definitely worth a stay! But aside from its charming design, it has more in store for friends and families looking to unwind, relax, and just enjoy nature and appreciate the beauty of the wilderness. This cabin also offers a relaxing hot tub, fire pit, spacious rooms, and a myriad of activities that you won’t ever get bored!
From the owner:
Each property that is part of the Wilder collection has been uniquely designed by a different interior designer from across the US and Canada. Aspen Haus was conceptualized and designed by Michelle Roderick-Lee, who resides in Northern New York with her husband. Her hope for this cabin is that it feels like a calm retreat inspired by the unlimited beauty found in nature. Michelle and her diy/design work can be found on IG at @dreaminghomeblog.
The cabin has a bedroom with a king bed and room darkening blinds, full bathroom with shower, and an open concept living room, dining room and kitchen space. Large windows in the living room and bedroom look out onto a private deck, hot tub, fire pit, and of course, the tranquil woods of Wilder. A 3 seater sofa pulls out into a queen bed in the living room to accommodate 2 more guests.
At Wilder, one of our goals is being eco-friendly and kind to the land we’ve been blessed to own. Because of that, we disturbed very few trees to build our modern cabins, so you get to walk up to your cabin through the woods (like sleepover camp for adults!) instead of drive right up to the door.

5. Sage Canyon Cliff House
Location: Cortez, Colorado
If traditional cabins are not your cup of tea, you’re in for a treat with this rental property. This cabin is built into the rock of a real canyon. How cool is that? Aside from this unique and rocking feature (no punt intended), this property will wow you with its contemporary design, and its light wood, huge windows, and modern furnishings that highlight the cabin’s focal piece. However, we thought you’d like to know that they don’t have televisions, so you don’t take the beauty of the cabin for granite—I mean granted. They do have fast internet connection for work and uploading those gneiss Instagram pics (no more rock puns, we promise!)
From the owner:
Stay on the flank of Sleeping Ute Mountain in historic McElmo Canyon just 40 minutes from Mesa Verde and 20 minutes from the town of Cortez. Featured in Better Homes 2012, the Cliff House is built right into the red rock cliff wall of a private canyon alcove with comfortable amenities, internet, nearby petroglyphs and sweeping views down canyon. A perfect place to base yourself for your next creative endeavor or for rejuvenating and exploring in the wilds of the four corners.
In addition to being built into sandstone rock, the Cliff House is landscaped with native species that bloom all summer. Around the corner from the house, in another private rock alcove, is a little lawn. Enjoy comfortable porch seating with a stunning view.
We purposefully do not provide a TV and hope our space is a nature-inspired respite. That said, we also know you might want to get away and retreat to the Cliff House in order to do some work in-between exploring the Southwest. We have fast, broadband wireless internet with Eero WiFi. Stream music to our Apple HomePod with your iPhone or AirPlay-enabled device. We have a network extender for strong Verizon LTE service.
