July was a busy month on our blog. We shared practical tips on everything from secret hotel discounts to building a greener home. If you’re planning a trip or thinking about a new place to stay, this roundup points you to the most useful reads.
We started the month with a deep dive into Hotwire sales. The article explains how blind bookings work, why they’re cheaper, and how you can spot a genuine hidden gem. A follow‑up piece covered airport hotels, showing when they’re worth the extra cost and how to choose a spot that saves you time and money.
Later, we compared boutique hotels to regular chains. The side‑by‑side table helped readers see where boutique properties add value and when they actually cost more. We also tackled the all‑inclusive myth, answering the burning question about the infamous six‑drink limit and revealing the best time of year to snag a cheap all‑inclusive package.
Eco‑friendly housing got a lot of attention. One post listed the most sustainable housing types—from tiny homes to earthships—while another warned about hidden costs of green builds. We didn’t stop at houses; we explored glamping too. Readers learned whether glamping sites provide electricity, what the bathroom situation looks like, and how to pick a luxury camping spot that feels like a hotel without losing the outdoors.
Our guide on cottages vs. cabins helped families decide which vibe fits their vacation style. The “What Qualifies as a Cottage?” article broke down size, design features and modern twists, making it easy to spot a true cottage on the market.
Business travelers also benefitted from our insights. We outlined the must‑have amenities for a productive work trip and highlighted the hidden value of business hotels in 2025. For those mixing work and leisure, the boutique vs. business hotel comparison gave a clear picture of what each offers.
Lastly, we answered quirky questions like whether glamping sites have private toilets and if a $1 billion house really exists. The answers were straightforward and backed by real examples, so readers left with facts, not speculation.
All these posts share the same goal: give you clear, actionable information without the fluff. Whether you’re hunting a discount hotel, planning a sustainable build, or dreaming of a glamping getaway, July’s archive has something to help you decide.
