Provide Things to do in the Rain

Indoor activities are needed in every vacation property. IF you don't want to have unhappy vacationers you must provide them with something to do if the weather does not work out. Cable TV and a VCR/DVD player is always appreciated. I have found board games to be a cheap and fun solution. In our house we have a ping pong table.

Local yard sales are the best for picking up indoor goodies. My family has a small library of books my mom and dad picked up. Make sure you pick books carefully, mixing in local history books and outdoor books can also be beneficial You can buy local travel guides and vacation books almost everywhere in a resort area.

A small video selection is also easy to gather. You can get VHS tapes for under $5 at video stores. Or ask your friends who now have DVD players to sell you there old tapes. Holiday movies and classic's are the best ones and easiest to come by on the cheap.
