Triple A estimates that more than 115 million people traveled during last year's holiday season. That's more than one-third of the country. While many of them went to stay with relatives, some didn't have that option.
This raises an interesting question: where can you stay when you can't stay with a relative, especially during the holidays? If you're looking for something festive, we recommend a holiday vacation rental. Some of the best holiday rental properties are in Memphis, TN. Whether you have the budget to rent a room at Graceland, or just a modest hotel room. We'll go into more detail here.
Graceland Guest House
We can't mention Graceland's Guest House without going into more detail. Not a lot of people get to spend any time in such a historic place, especially not during the holidays.
The Guest House is a luxurious resort with over 400 rooms, and all of it is a short walk from Elvis Presley's home at Graceland mansion. Each room comes with a touch of the King and shows off his personality and stylistic choices. That's just the accommodations. Graceland also has plenty of cool things to see, from Elvis' stables to his cars, to the family cemetery just outside.
You could even take a note from Elvis and pick up some vacation home tips to improve your own holiday vacation rental property.
Big Cypress Lodge
If you're more interested in living like a king rather than The King, the Big Cypress Lodge has a lot to offer. The story of how the Big Cypress Lodge came to be is a fascinating story. It was originally built in the early 1990s as a sporting complex, but it closed briefly in 2002 after a devastating fiscal year. For the next three years, the pyramid would be home to a church before being bought out by Bass Pro Shop in 2005.
The sheer size of the Memphis Pyramid meant that using it as one giant store was impractical, so a portion of it was converted into the Big Cypress Lodge. The Lodge boasts over 100 rooms, each with a cozy outdoors theme. Those looking for unique Memphis rental ideas should feel right at home.
The Peabody
In terms of holiday travel, Memphis has some not-so-hidden gems to offer. The Peabody is a world-famous hotel that dates back to a few years after the Civil War. This luxury hotel is known for two amazing things: its Mallard population, and its spectacular holiday celebrations.
The Peabody takes festive home decor to a whole new level. The Peabody's selection of restaurants offers several holiday meals, including Christmas eve dinner, Christmas Dinner, and tea with Santa. The Peabody is great for families, but there's plenty for adults as well, including two bars and a private party area.
