Celebrating the Fourth of July is essential to many U.S. families’ summers. This year, book a last minute vacation rental and bring your loved ones on a getaway full of great food, fireworks, and fun. Here are eight last-minute finds to check out for your July 4th trip!

Savannah, Georgia

Visiting Savannah, GA, can feel like a wonderful time warp, thanks to the beautiful gothic architecture, lush trees shading cobblestone roads, and horsedrawn carriage traffic. Bring your friends and fam to stay at this last minute vacation rental duplex in Starland District, where you can rent one or two units to fit your whole crew! Then post up along the shore to watch the Independence Day fireworks over the Savannah River.

Asheville, North Carolina

Spend the 4th in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, NC. This artsy town is an outdoor recreation haven with incredible Downtown and River Arts Districts. Stay at Asheville Getaway New Build Bungalow, relax in the hot tub, take in the mountain views, and lounge on the porch. Head to Pack Square Park the weekend of the Fourth for the Ultimate Air Dog competition, live music, food trucks, and fireworks.

Adobe abodes abound in Santa Fe

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Head to Santa Fe to spend your Fourth in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Come for the weekend to check out the 29th Annual Santa Fe Wine Festival July 1-2. Then, enjoy watching the Fourth of July Fireworks at Santa Fe Place Mall. Stay at Casita Don Manuel, a private home with beautiful beams, adobe walls, and a stunning fireplace in downtown Santa Fe.

Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Gatlinburg is called the Gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a 520,00-acre haven for outdoor recreation (think: hike, bike, paddle, and more!).

Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

Kitty Hawk, NC, is a beautiful beach town on the Atlantic. Grab your camping chairs and head to the boardwalk to ring in the Fourth of July near the water.
