Rent in various areas
Every place has it's up and downs. Personally, I would rent in various parts of the country for 1-4 months depending on the area and your want for adventure. Switching starting locations each year. My husband and I traveled for a year and a half renting at places for a month using AirBnB or similar services. One of the things I use the most in these services is skimming through the reviews. This gives you a good idea of what to expect in the area and the rental. I always look for at least some negatives - more believable. I also prefer ones being rented by a nearby person. I have always found them much more helpful than any agency. Once there for a month you will make contacts if you want to have a return visit. Spring and fall are very different even in the same spot. Cottages along lakes or rivers are a personal favorite. Downtown's often have some great vibes. We traveled with our computer bag, 1 suitcase and an overnight bag each - these days you can buy what ever you may run out of our forgot just about anywhere.
Have a wonderful time !
