Vision to Reality: The Growing Trend of Vacation Rentals and Film

January 15, 2024

Lights, Camera, Action!

Ontario’s vibrant film industry is alive and well.  With such diverse landscapes, Ontario provides an excellent backdrop for filmmakers. Partnering with a rental agency like Jayne’s with access to over 300 properties in prime locations offers several advantages for film productions. 

Here are some reasons why choosing a vacation rental for a film production in Ontario, particularly through Jayne’s Luxury Rentals, can be a great option:

1. Versatility

Vacation rentals come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, each with its unique appeal. From stylish ultra-modern lakeside cottages to sprawling countryside estates, there is something for everyone. Location scouts can enlist the knowledgeable assistance of the agency’s reservation specialists to help narrow down the wealth of options and find the perfect fit for their needs. 

2. Cost-Effectiveness

Renting a vacation rental for filming can be a cost-effective alternative compared to building and assembling backdrops. When properties are already furnished and decorated, it saves time and money that would otherwise be spent on set design. Many rental properties have multiple buildings that can serve as accommodation for film crews or additional settings, adding even more value to the rental.

3. Convenience

Vacation rental properties are usually set up to host guests for overnight stays as well as longer stays, which offer flexibility and convenience. Jayne’s Luxury Rentals takes great care in maintaining high standards for guest comfort and satisfaction for any duration.  Aspects such as ensuring a well-stocked kitchen, offering hotel quality linens, and in some cases a scheduled housekeeping service, leave more time to focus on the project.

4. Environmental Considerations

Filming in existing vacation rentals can be more environmentally friendly compared to constructing temporary sets. Jayne’s Luxury Rentals offers a diverse range of rental options in various attractive locations across Ontario. From Collingwood, Toronto, Lake Simcoe, Haliburton, and, of course, Muskoka.  Finding easily accessible locations that offer minimal environmental impact aligns with the growing trend of sustainable filmmaking practices. 

In summary, leveraging vacation rentals through a reputable agency like Jayne’s Luxury Rentals can provide filmmakers with a seamless and authentic filming experience, taking advantage of the province’s diverse offerings and contributing to the success of their productions.
