    help with plotting out a relatively large airbnb/setting for a murder mystery?

    Discussion in 'Setting Development' started by Dewey, Feb 13, 2023.

    So I'm preemptively working on the setting of my murder mystery because I don't want to have to improvise on the fly when I start writing

    The primary setting is an AirBnB in Stowe, Vermont and it needs to be big enough to comfortably sleep eight people [sleeping arrangements by personal choice are 2 people in bedroom #1, 2 people in bedroom #2, 1 person in bedroom #3, 2 people in bedroom #4, and one guy on the couch because he wanted to sleep there] and there has to be enough room for people to be separated in small groups for tension

    So what would be a good approximate for square footage and room layout taking into consideration that I would like people to have a tangible amount of distance from one another and the main meeting place is the living room/kitchen?

    The one thing I've come up with is that the setting can be a house built into the side of a mountain, which would take care of an abnormal layout, but if any of you have other ideas I'd love to hear them

    2000 square feet is roomy. 2500 is big, and 3000 is really big, comparatively speaking. Go look at Airbnbs on line. Or 4 bedroom houses in general.

    Have you ever been to Stowe? The town is tiny.
