Vacation Homes
In this day and age, vacation homes have become the way to stay while traveling. They are an especially good value for groups as opposed to multiple hotel rooms. Check out:

My Western Star Vacation Rentals has two units that have fabulously fun decor. One is a two bedroom/two bath and the other is a studio.
