Re: How to share the cost of a rental

In vacation rental situations, the people with kids are the
ones who cooked breakfast, If you wanted something other than
what they cooked you waited until they were out of the kitchen
and made your own. It's totally not practical for all the
adults to be running around cooking breakfast at the same time.

As long as every unit gets their own room, I think it should be
divided per room. Food and supplies should be split per person.

This.

Ok, we're going with the plan of one rental for the two
families, and the rest can figure out their lodging on their
own.
I know that breakfast and dinner would be a lot of work. We were
thinking pretty simple, like BLTs for lunch one day, pancakes
and bacon for breakfast, etc. And for two of us who married in
to the family were looking forward to it as an excuse to get out
of the in-family discussions :)
Much better this way, though!
I'm feeling better about this already. Thanks for all of your
words of wisdom!

pancakes and bacon are simple?
To someone whose breakfast of choice, while at home, has always
been cereal, that seems really annoying.
But hey--maybe those kids can tackle breakfast!

I think something in between the two...
Not per person, and not per room.
Maybe per adult?

I don't mind whipping up a batch of bacon even for 15. But
pancakes would be the frozen kind :D

With teens I don't think this works so well, especially if this
is splitting food and accommodations. Some people are big
eaters. Some are not. Some teens are 17 or 19 while others are
13 or 14 - this makes a huge difference too.

Yeah, the teenagers were going to be assigned the job of making
pancakes (not forced-- they were actually looking forward to
it). They'll still be doing it but just for 2/3 as many people.
Interesting development: This rental was for the last 3 nights
of a 6-night trip, where the other 3 nights were at a hotel. The
two couples are now planning to go home earlier, and only stay
one night at this location. One of the singles is booking a
hotel room for these last 3 nights. The other one is asking if
there's room in the 2-family cabin to squeeze him in. I kinda
resent that.
With the couples: They had the time off from work, and were
planning on going for the whole trip originally. I don't know if
changing their plans and going home 2 nights early is a silent
protest from them, or if maybe they were willing to stay for the
whole trip only if they could contain their costs, and
not-splitting the rental just put them out of their price range.
Their choice.
I do feel badly, though, if ultimately only one person (the one
who booked a hotel) is left out of the rental in the end as the
others all go home. I'll have to see what the other famliy
thinks. If it comes down to just that person left out, I'm
inclined to offer him a couch, but not making the families give
up bedrooms. And-- no charge for sleeping on the couch, FWIW.

That sounds like a good solution. Definitely not in one of the
bedrooms for which he did not pay.
