How to rent a country house for the weekend in the suburbs - my selection
When you live in Moscow and there is no good year-round dacha, the question periodically arises of where to get out on the weekend in nature, but with comfort. We are now omitting the tent option, we are not talking about it, this is a completely different format of rest.
So, this summer I was browsing various houses on Airbnb to go there for the weekend. I have already written about one of these houses, it is located near Kolomna. He is also in this collection, with an unusual design inside. Then we really enjoyed driving like that. Maybe someday we will muddle up our dacha, but so far it’s cheaper and easier than building and maintaining a house in which we will be a couple of times a year.

How to rent a house
To be honest, I have not found other convenient options for renting a house for a short period. It is clear that if you shoot for the whole summer or generally for six months / a year, then it is easier to look for Avito / Tsian and then go around them, look at the place and negotiate. But now, if you want to book a cottage with a minimum of time without leaving your home, then it is more difficult. An ordinary hotel is easily searched for through Booking, there will be a lot of options. There, of course, there are also interesting houses or apartments, but still this is a hotel service..
So at home you can try searching on Airbnb. Previously, there were few options in Russia, but every year the choice is more and more, now there is really a lot to choose from, and in a couple of years the selection will have to be supplemented in any way. True, some people beat completely non-humane price tags for some reason (look at the price of a hut), but this is a question for specific owners. But in any case, there are budget options, a combination of price / quality.
We have already lived in one house, and I hope we will live in another when nature wants. Now I know where a company can go, in such housing, if the price is divided (especially on weekdays) for each, then in general it will be nonsense.
