When a hotel is the easy answer
For a quick night or two, a hotel is hard to beat. You've got a front desk, nobody has to think about groceries, and if you're spending every evening at a show on the Strip, you won't be in the room much anyway.
When a cabin wins
It's different once you're staying three nights or more with kids. Separate bedrooms mean the little ones can go to sleep while the grown-ups stay up. A kitchen saves you from paying for every meal. And a deck or a lawn gives everyone room to breathe after a long, loud day at the park.
If you're traveling as a group, a big cabin, or a few side by side, keeps everyone together in a way a hotel hallway never will.
What our families tend to pick
We only rent cabins and homes, so yes, we're a little biased. Parents with one or two young kids often go with an A-frame, where the kids get the loft. Two families sharing a trip like a three-bedroom Cedar Cabin. Big reunions take over Kim's House or Hotel California.
If the kids care more about a game room than a lake view, look at our sister resort, Tribesman Resort. It has a free game room with air hockey and classic video games, an indoor pool and a playground, and it's also on Indian Point.
Wherever you land, Silver Dollar City is just minutes away. For more ideas, see our family vacation tips.
