We have fallen in love with Airbnb. Just stayed in Maine last week, and we are headed to Cooperstown, New York in September and Northern Vermont in October. We love that people have turned their spaces into special havens whether it be an attached barn or separate cottage. We have even found established Bed and Breakfasts advertising on the website. Fabulous!
