If it is his turn to have your son then he should of booked the time with you first. If all else fails could your son not stay at home on his own it is only for a week and he is not a baby. Or could he not stay with his grandparents on either side. There is no need to fall out about this. My son stayed at home by himself at 17. My parents rang him a couple of times and the neighbours were keeping an eye out. 17 is not young to spend a few nights on your own. It gives you independence and makes you act your age. Really dont stress about this.
