Redwood retreats meet Pacific drama

Take me there

Like Sunriver, Big Sur centers around secluded resort properties where families spread out in multi-bedroom accommodations surrounded by towering trees. Days flow between outdoor activities, communal dining, and that particular rhythm of vacation rental life where you're constantly coordinating group meals and activities. The same unhurried pace lets you fully disconnect from urban scheduling while still having creature comforts.

Many resorts offer package deals that include meals and activities.
Best for: Multi-generational families wanting luxury in nature

Rocky Mountain village with resort soul

Take me there

Canmore delivers that same mountain resort community feel where vacation rentals cluster around golf courses and bike trails wind through pine forests. The pedestrian-friendly downtown lets you walk to dinner after a day of outdoor adventures, and there's that identical mix of serious outdoor enthusiasts and families just wanting to relax in mountain air. Evening barbecues and morning coffee on decks overlooking peaks define the rhythm.

Significantly more affordable than nearby Banff with similar mountain access.
Best for: Active families seeking mountain adventures without crowds

Green Mountain charm with four-season appeal

Take me there

Stowe mirrors Sunriver's blend of outdoor recreation and vacation rental culture, just with maple trees instead of pines. The same bike path networks connect resort properties to town centers, and you get that identical experience of coordinating group activities while based in a comfortable multi-bedroom retreat. Summer brings mountain biking and hiking, while winter transforms it into a completely different but equally family-friendly destination.

Year-round appeal means you can return for completely different seasonal experiences.
Best for: Families who love returning to the same comfortable base

Thermal wonderland meets adventure basecamp

Take me there

Rotorua offers that same vacation rental hub experience where families base themselves in comfortable properties and venture out for daily adventures. The geothermal activity creates a unique natural playground similar to how Sunriver uses the Deschutes River and Cascade proximity. You get the same rhythm of morning activity planning, afternoon adventures, and evening group meals, just with thermal pools and Maori culture adding distinctive local flavor.

Many thermal attractions offer family passes that cover multiple days of activities.

Lake District hiking from cozy cottage base

Take me there

Keswick captures Sunriver's vacation rental village atmosphere where outdoor enthusiasts gather in comfortable multi-bedroom properties before heading out on trails. The town provides that perfect balance of amenities and access - you can walk to pubs and shops but still feel immersed in dramatic natural scenery. Days unfold with the same pattern of coordinated group hikes, casual dinners, and that particular satisfaction of returning to a well-equipped home base after mountain adventures.

Extensive public footpath network means you can hike directly from many rental properties.
