Assuming "decorating" means paint/paper/carpets/curtains, tell them to get on with it and send them a postcard. Not "wanting to live in a mess" sounds like a preference. Nobody died from living with somebody else's paisley-patterened carpet and stripey wallpaper for a few weeks, so why should you have to give up your holiday for their preference?
Let's face it, if they're moving house then everything's going to be in boxes anyway: just unpack the essentials and chuck dust sheets over the rest, or put the bulk of it in storage short term.
Sorry to sound harsh
