Blending remote work with family travel means you don't have to spend vacation days to get a change of scenery. But it only works if the home is set up for it. Here's what matters.
Reliable, work-friendly Wi-Fi
This is non-negotiable. Confirm the home has solid, work-capable internet before you book — a video call that drops mid-sentence undoes the whole idea.
A place to work that isn't the kitchen table
Look for a home with enough space that you can set up somewhere quiet and close the door on the day when you're done. A big house helps: you can work while the family uses the rest of the home.
A destination that rewards the off-hours
The payoff of working remotely is what happens before and after the workday. Choose somewhere with easy access to the outdoors — trails, water, a park — so a morning hike or an evening by the fire is part of the routine, not a production.
Space for the whole family
If the family's along, the home needs to work for them too: room to spread out, a real kitchen, and downtime spaces so no one's tiptoeing around your calls.
Book direct and ask about the workspace
Before booking, ask directly about internet reliability and where you'd work. Booking direct gives you a real person to answer — see why book direct.
Homes that work for work
Both Stilla homes offer work-friendly Wi-Fi and the space to combine a workweek with family time. Nordhus Lodge sits in the North Shore woods near Lutsen; Eagles Nest sits on the coast near Acadia. See the collection and experiences to plan a remote-work retreat.
