Lake House Rentals: How To Rent By The Hour

At Peerspace, we get it! An event is only as good as its setting.

This article will let you know what’s useful and great about lake house rentals while also explaining where to find lake houses for rent by the hour and providing. We’ll even share a few examples of these types of rentals. Read on for our advice.

Reasons to choose a lake house rental

Many have fond memories of the time they spent at a lake house, perhaps during childhood. You can take advantage of those positive associations by hosting an event you want to be a major success at a lake house rental. No matter what kind of event it is, whether it’s a birthday party, a bridal shower, or a holiday gathering, attendees are sure to enjoy the lake house atmosphere. In fact, your event will be all the more memorable for it.

Perhaps instead of a gathering you’re planning on seeking out a lake house rental so you can take photos or video there. What a great idea! The views of the lake will make a great subject or backdrop for your creativity, as will the lovely interiors of the home you end up renting. Think about it: a shot of the lake at sunset with your model posing in front of the natural landscape, for example. Thanks to the positive memories that people have, a lake house is also a great location for photography or videography brimming with nostalgia.

Reasons to use Peerspace for lake house rentals

While you may have stayed at Airbnbs in the past, this might prompt you to consider using Airbnb to locate your lake house rental. However, it actually isn’t a good option for hourly rentals. Airbnb provides guests with short-term lodging and travel accommodations rather than hourly rentals. 

This means it’s unlikely that you’ll have much luck seeking out hourly rentals on a site like Airbnb. So you may have to rent the lake house of your choice by the night, and you’ll probably end up paying a lot more. Hourly rentals mean you only pay for the time you actually use the space. That means they are a lot more cost-efficient and budget-friendly. 

The fact that sites like Airbnb aren’t designed for hourly and event-type rentals means they probably won’t be outfitted for gatherings, with the relevant amenities. And many Airbnb hosts might not even want you to host a gathering in their space, because they haven’t designed the space for these purposes. They might not even allow you to do so, so you’ll have to sift through lots of lake house rental listings to find one that allows you to have people over.

The question is: what to use instead?

Try Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, including lake houses. Whatever you’re seeking, Peerspace is likely to have some version of it available for rent. In fact, there are Peerspaces in hundreds of cities.

And if you find a lake house you really like and might want to rent out, the site also makes it easy for you to reach out to the home’s host with questions.
