As a note, I will be flying for pleasure. Mainly cross country trips.

I doubt that you will find anyone who will rent you a plane for several hundred
hours a year of pleasure trips. Most FBOs balk at renting for more than a few
hours and few keeping a plane overnight. You might be able to do it for trips
during the week, but most of them want the planes on weekends for students.

A club might be an option for you.
