Going on trip with wife and kid with another couple who also has kid for a week. We’re both driving up to the lake house (rental via silent auction we bid on together at charity event). Question is who gets the master??
To note:
1. Both driving separately and we’re arriving 1st
2. We split pay down the middle
3. They invited us to charity event but it was my wife’s idea to bid on trip together
4. Is it of any relevance that he is an architect and we have hired and paid for multiple projects at market rate?
5. Both bedrooms have king beds with attached bath but the master has a private bath and balcony
6. First time for us to vacation together. They’re very cool, laid back and don’t think they’d be upset either way but want to be fair/polite and keep positive vibes going

Assert your Dominance

You, your wife and his wife get the master bedroom.

It’s goes to the couple that needs it to improve their marriage.

going to be a fun week for them to have to spend with you, they'll probably find a reason to split after the third day

I would talk to the other couple. State I would like the master, see what they say, and work it out from there.

If there is a stalemate, the wives would settle it with a bikini wrestling match.

Claim it by throwing your luggage on the bed first.

Will the kids be sharing the same bath as the non-master bedroom option?

Because asking the simple question of “hey would you guys like to take the master?” Is too hard

IMO this is like fighting with someone over the check

You should both be trying to defer to the other. If he gets there before you and sets up in the second bedroom, be gracious and accept.

If you're in a position to offer it to them, do so genuinely. If they turn it down emphatically, say thanks and accept it. If they accept, great.

If you offer it he will most likely politely decline or say he doesn’t care. Then you take it but at least you offered

Whoever had the idea/found the listing to get that house, should be given choice of the bedroom.
