I came to this site for help on finding information as I am very frustrated trying for find places for persons under the age of 21. I'm in the process of looking for cabins that can be occupied by 20 year olds (such as myself). So far no luck.

What kind of cabins are these you're talking about? Also, where are you looking? If you could give us a little more information about what you're looking for we might be able to help Welcome aboard! -------------------- -Matt "Be a traveler, not a tourist."

I'm looking for cabins in Hocking Hills (Logan), Ohio. We want a cabin that is cozy but not too scrunched and something thats romantic, reasonably priced, and preferably with a King sized bed. It just seems that you MUST be 21 to occupy most of them. If we can find one that we would be allowed to occupy, I think I might leap for joy. It's so frustrating just being a year away from 21 years old.

You might look in to having a parent or someone else book it for you. This worked when I rented a house at the beach for spring break during college...just a thought. Good luck! -------------------- -Matt "Be a traveler, not a tourist." "Chance favors the prepared mind." - Louis Pasteur Give Life My upcoming trips: 1. A week at the Outer Banks, NC; June '10 2.

Many major hotel chains have the policy of being old enough to require a credit card. Since you are technically an adult at 18 and are responsible enough to have your own credit card by that age, I cannot see why they would have a 21+ age policy. I think some of it is to try and curb underage drinking, but if you were to call and ask the place personally saying it was for just the two of you they might be more lenient. -------------------- Local Expert for Ohio, USA Next Countries: May 2010: Banff National Park - Canada Planning RTW in 2010-2011 for Asia and South America - coverage here

They rent cabins here in Maine, but I never really inquired if there was a age limit thing, it never entered my thoughts. I'll have to inquire and see if they have such policies up this way as well. -------------------- View my blog entries on Bar Harbor/Acadia national Park http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog-entri...05168/tpod.html
