Yes, I use "Homeaway" for excellent LT stays in great locations. (Off season is usually a bargain).
I also like 'Farm-sitting', as few pursue that or are 'pre-trained' for the crisis that crop up. But Farmers like to take breaks too!
(and the kids loved it!!! often 'free' horses / eggs / produce and fuel while you are staying, and no shortage of 'adventure' while tending a farm)
Hint: our kids really enjoyed / relaxed / appreciated a place to call 'their home' for awhile. But... Kids GREATLY increased relationships, opportunities to meet and interact with locals.
