Vrbo commissioned a special set of five limited-edition doghouses inspired by its most pup-ular vacation home property types. The set includes a luxe chalet, a cheery beach cottage, a trendy A-frame, a modern ranch house, and a groovy mid-century modern bungalow. Families and their lucky pooches can book-to-buy one of these special doghouses for $100 each on December 9 with proceeds benefiting the Best Friends Animal Society to help fund shelters and pets in need.
"We've asked a lot of our homes this year and could all use a much-needed break for the holidays. While us humans can easily book a Vrbo property for a relaxing escape, our pets also deserve a relaxing place to rest their paws," said Alison Kwong, Vrbo spokesperson and dog mom. "Families love bringing their pets along on vacation and staying at pet-friendly vacation homes together - we've seen a 40% increase in demand for pet-friendly vacation homes on Vrbo. With this limited-time-only set of dreamy doghouses, families can treat their loyal companions to an extra-special dog-sized stay this holiday season."
"Woooof, woof woof woof. Woof woooof woof woof, woof woof. Woof woof," said Juniper, a Vrbo employee's dog. "Between the school science experiments and the Zoom meetings my humans have had at the house all year, it's been hard to find a quiet place to nap. My pet parents love to stay in Vrbo properties when we travel, so I've always wanted my very own Vrbo doghouse to snooze in. My favorite is the chalet because I love to sleep by the fireplace and dream about squirrels."
Families can book-to-buy one of these doghouses on Thursday, Dec. 9 at 12 p.m. CST, available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Both humans and pups alike can preview the doghouses starting today by visiting vrbo.com/petholiday.

Susan Law Cain/Shutterstock With their gable roofs and symmetrical windows, colonial houses can make quite a statement. Classic, elegant, and charming, they've become embedded in the white picket fence, American dream imagery. According to Wentworth Studio, the colonial revival began in the 1880s and lasted until around 1945. The simplicity of these homes makes them the perfect candidate for additions, alterations, and renovation. American colonial homes tend to have a symmetrical floor plan, with the front door right in the middle of the front exterior and usually flanked by large columns and tall windows. They are impressive buildings, and flippers and renovators enjoy bringing these houses up to a modern standard. Sometimes it's a s...
Everything you need to know to have the best woodsy getaway in 2021. This camping cottage, as it's classified, can be found at French Creek State Park, just an hour outside Philadelphia. It's one example of cabins in Pennsylvania state parks. (Photo courtesy of Pennsylvania State Parks, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) With the warm weather upon us, you've probably been looking at your calendar, hoping to plan a getaway. I have a suggestion: Stay in one of many cabins in Pennsylvania. As my family has discovered over the past decade, the Pennsylvania state park system offers affordable cabin and yurt options that are comfortable, nostalgic and wonderfully woodsy. (Yes, you can bring your dog to some.) Plenty are within an easy drive of the Philadelphia area. And with high elevations, swimming lakes and waterfall hikes, there are plenty of options for cooling off. Here, a guide to how to do it best. PLANNING YOUR TRIP Where are these state parks? Pennsylvan...
