Book a unique home experience at Airbnb

You don't have to take Mom across the world to make her feel like she's on vacation. Book an Airbnb in your hometown — or a short drive away — for the weekend. Make an itinerary of fun activities you don't usually do, restaurants you've never tried before, and spots you've still yet to check out to fill your time. It's a fun way to experience your area in a whole new light, and who better to share that with than your mom?
