[quote=Anonymous]OP, I often rent houses with big groups of friends and am in charge of dividing up the costs. Some have kids, some don't, some are single.

I split the rental cost by adult. That way single people don't have to pay twice as much as people in couples, and people with more kids don't have to pay extra for a room that crowded up with kids. The food we divide up by person except small kids count as 1/2 a person since they eat less (and babies who don't eat don't count, obvs.)

However, this is assuming that each family only takes up one bedroom. Since you insisted on two bedrooms for your family, you should pay more.

Given all these considerations I would suggest something like splitting the rental costs per adult except you and your DH count as 3 or 4 adults to account for the extra bedroom.

If your sister's boyfriend comes for a couple of days then you could just do it by bedroom, or do a more complicated equation involving the # of days each person is there. I usually charge people for rental costs for the whole trip even if they are only there for part of it b/c it's not like we could have gotten a smaller house or rented it out to someone else for the days they chose not to come.
