This is how I see it:
Y'all copped the house. So they getting a free ride there.
Make them put in for food and provide a 'small' list of things they'd like to eat for breakfast and lunch.
Most people can get a reasonable lunch/breakfast for $15-20 total so multiply that by however many days you all are staying (so if it's 4 days, $15 x 4 for singles and $20 for families).
Go grocery shopping before you go and then commit to scheduling out each breakfast (either cook it or determine a menu...lunch can be sammiches, breakfast can be cereal or whatever you elect to cook).
If anybody gripes about having their breakfast/lunch dictated to them, tell them they can commit to cooking a meal but it'll be for the whole house so everyone can eat fairly.
It's either this or you dictate what everyone brings and how much of it.
Mom - drinks: 3 cases of sparkling water, couple bottles of wine, pack of juice boxes for the kids, OJ Hubby's Bro's family - breakfast food: 3 packs of bacon, 2 cartons of eggs, box of oatmeal, grits and/or rice Your sister's family - Lunch food: ham, turkey, cheese, condiments, bread, pickles, etc.
I've learned that people need a clear plan and justification (y'all paid for the room and covered all other expenses). If they get aggy, leave 'em home and invite a willing participant. lol ____________
