After Super Bowl's TV commercial highlighting vacation rentals, and their great benefits versus hotels, many are discovering that renting vacation homes, condos, and cabins are more affordable than hotels.

(PRWEB) February 19, 2010 -- Vacation rentals in the Finger Lakes include great lodging choices on Keuka, Canandaigua, Honeoye, Conesus, Cayuga, and Seneca Lakes, offering everything that the Finger Lakes has to offer, including skiing, boating, fishing, hiking, and much more room and amenities for your money than hotels. Vacation home rentals are nothing new, but many are discovering just how affordable this lodging alternative can be. In fact, in a recent study by Phocus Wright, vacation rentals represent a more than $24 billion opportunity in the United States, that's more than a fifth of all hotel room revenue and eight percent of the travel market.

"Vacation rentals are a great way to think outside of the box," Lynn Thurston, Associate Real Estate Broker from Finger Lakes Premier Properties says. She is seeing an increase in vacation rentals with more and more people discovering what they have to offer. With so many locations and options such as vacation home rentals, cabins, and condos, it's considerably more affordable than hotels. "Having a home away from home is something special, there are less restrictions and more choices on how to enjoy your vacation."

A vacation home is all-inclusive with meals, entertainment and accommodation under one roof. Renters can enjoy cooking their meals in a spacious kitchen, or barbecue overlooking a pleasant view of a lake. They can take advantage of lake living by fishing, boating, or creating their own campfire. In the winter they can spend the day skiing or enjoying wine trails along the Finger Lakes Wine Country , and at night soak in a hot tubs or Jacuzzi. Take in a big sporting event, such as the winter Olympics with a large screen television, or just relax in a cozy setting near a fireplace. Instead of restricted room space in a hotel, renters can gather in large living rooms and enjoy family time together.

Vacation rentals have definitely evolved, and most importantly, have become popular with vacationers who are on a budget. Saving money with Finger lakes house rentals will provide more options for entertainment, or can even help extend a vacation.

Finger Lakes Premier Properties encourages everyone who is searching for great deals to contact them about Finger Lakes vacation rentals, or visit their website to see availability and discover how much they can save on their next vacation.
