We just bought a house in the Poconos in a resort area and there are a couple of big ski slopes nearby. The houses rent out well in the winter and summer as vacation homes, so that's what we plan on doing with it, as well as us using it when we go visit the relatives. It needs some updating and repairs, but all in all it's a cute little house in the woods. It has the feel of a cabin, with the horizontal paneling and we want to keep a cabin theme to it.
We have to replace the carpeting that runs throughout the house. For economical reasons, we're thinking we'll put a neutral carpet in the bedrooms, but we're thinking we'd like to put down hardwood in the dining room and living room. I was in HD picking out some carpet for another rental, when the associate showed me some vinyl flooring that looks like wood. I was really impressed by how good it looks and I'm thinking it might be a better choice in a vacation rental where they might be traipsing in snow or sand. Anyone have any experience with this kind of flooring? I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons between how it looks and feels vs durability and cleanability.
Secondly - my wonderful husband has found a stuffed bear. He thinks it belongs in that house. How do I convince him it's tacky and horrible?
