Traveling families make up a huge portion of the vacation rental market — especially in Wisconsin. To attract and delight them, make sure your property includes these must-have family-friendly amenities:
1. Bunk Beds or Flexible Sleeping Arrangements
Parents love options that keep kids together while freeing up adult bedrooms. Think bunk rooms, trundles, or futons.
2. Game Rooms or Game Consoles
Board games, foosball, air hockey, or a PlayStation/Xbox setup gives kids something to do during downtime — and parents a break.
3. High Chairs and Pack ‘n Plays
Save parents from hauling gear by offering child-friendly essentials.
4. Fully Stocked Kitchen
A family-sized fridge, kid-friendly dishes, and kitchen basics like a crockpot go a long way.
5. Washer and Dryer
Essential for families staying multiple days (and dealing with messy little ones).
6. Outdoor Space to Play
Safe, fenced yards or access to a park nearby are major selling points.
7. Streaming Services
Netflix, Disney+, or a Roku stick can help calm down the chaos.
8. Baby Gates and Child Safety Locks
Safety-first design can win over young families.
9. Local Kid-Friendly Guide
Offer tips on playgrounds, kid-friendly restaurants, and ice cream spots.
10. Welcome Gift for Kids
Small toys or coloring books create a memorable first impression.
