A quick and inexpensive overnight vacation can be just what you need to recharge your batteries or to rekindle your relationship with your significant other, especially when a longer or more-distant vacation is not in the budget. No matter where you live, it is easy to find a place for a cheap overnight vacation.
Bed and Breakfast
- A bed and breakfast might cost more than a budget hotel, but it also probably offers more amenities, such as a full breakfast rather than a continental breakfast. The rooms are often decorated romantically and might include features such as a private hot tub. Some bed and breakfasts offer activities as part of the package. The owners of bed and breakfasts often can tell you about little-known tourist attractions in the area.
Camping
- If you own a tent or recreational vehicle or know someone who does, camping can be a cheap overnight option. Campsites are much cheaper than hotels, and many campgrounds have lakes, hiking trails or other amenities for campers to enjoy. You can cook at the campsite, saving the cost of eating out.
Nearby Attractions
- Become a tourist in your own area. Staying close to home is ideal for a cheap overnight vacation. For example, if you live in northern California, head for Napa Valley's wine country. If you live in south Florida, consider a quick trip to the Florida Keys.
Local Hotel Packages
- Some local hotels offer overnight packages, often with a theme such as a romantic evening or a night at the theater. Find a package that fits your interests and your budget. If the package does not include dinner, make reservations at a favorite spot.
