The summer sun rises above your home in Northern Kentucky, and you’re ready to take a trip to paradise, but your own bed is just a little bit too comfortable. You want to save the hassle of packing and traveling, but still experience your own form of luxury. Why not opt for a Kentucky staycation, and spend the weekend lounging with your loved ones in your most comfortable space?
At Rivers Pointe, we’ve helped find the perfect place for countless happy clients whose homes have become their new favorite vacation spots. Check our ideas for transforming your own home into your dream staycation destination.
Create an At-Home Beach Oasis
Cooling off in the summertime is a top priority, and you can still make a splash and have fun without the travel or ticket expenses. Setting up a slide, sprinkler or mini pool in your backyard can turn a relaxing oasis into an exciting water playground. Install a volleyball net and play “sand volleyball” to stay active while hosting family game time. When you’re tired out from a long day of fun, relax and lounge on a lawn chair or warm up at night by an ambient fire pit.
For Rivers Pointe Estate homeowners, a Kentucky staycation can include a refreshing dip in our planned pools.
Enjoy an Outdoor Movie Night
Set up an outdoor projector and host your very own movie night with family and friends. Whether it’s on your patio couch, or in your backyard with blankets and lawn chairs, any outdoor space can be transformed into a peaceful theater at night.
Decorate your backyard with colorful greenery to add life to the space. You don’t need to travel to a European outdoor cafe: Add string lights outside your home to create a sense of ambiance and encourage your guests to relax and socialize. Serve snacks by setting up a DIY root beer float station and selve-serve popcorn with toppings and fun containers.
Just like your favorite resort, Rivers Pointe Estates plans community activities and offers spaces to take a yoga class, toast marshmallows with neighbors or enjoy time outdoors. All these amenities will make your Kentucky staycation extra special.
Host an Outdoor Family Bed-and-Breakfast
Bring a classic travel staple to your own home by hosting a bed-and-breakfast for your family. Wake up to a delicious hot breakfast bar on your outdoor patio and enjoy great company and conversation with a home-cooked meal.
Light candles to keep bugs away, pull up comfortable outdoor couches and chairs and cuddle up with blankets for maximum morning relaxation. When you’re finished with breakfast, go for a hike on one of Rivers Pointe’s many trails to burn off those calories!
A Kentucky staycation is all about seeing the familiar through new eyes, so take the time to really notice your surroundings as you walk or ride along the trails.
Relax With Dinner on Your Patio or Picnic Table
Looking to spend your night under the stars? Create an ambient candlelit dinner with friends and family by setting up a picnic table or hosting on your patio. Light candles and even tiki torches to create a relaxing atmosphere just like at your favorite getaway. Grill hamburgers and hot dogs and serve them to your hungry company. Complete your meal by setting up an ice cream bar for dessert. The possibilities are endless!
