Get ready for vaction home rental wanderlust.
Vrbo has announced the 2026 Vacation Rentals of the Year, a collection of standout vacation homes across the U.S. and around the world. Now in its fifth year, the annual list recognizes properties that “exemplify exceptional quality, reliability, and Vrbo’s high standards for stays travelers can trust.” In fact, several of the homes have earned more than 100 perfect 10/10 guest ratings, reflecting the positive experiences guests can expect every time they book a Vrbo. This year’s list includes a Montana ranch with a party barn and saloon, a geodesic dome for desert stargazing, a historic home once visited by George Washington, and a lakeside estate with its own nine–hole golf course.
“The Vacation Rentals of the Year showcase the finest vacation rentals on Vrbo. New this year, every property on the list has earned the ‘Loved by Guests’ badge — a recognition reserved only for the top 10 percent of homes in a destination based on real guest reviews,” said Larry Plawsky, senior vice president and gneral manager at Vrbo. “This list should inspire travelers to take their next group getaway and demonstrates how easy it is to find a trusted, high-quality vacation rental every time they plan a trip.”
