Some Americans are already locking in their summer travel plans, and this year\u2019s top destination may come as a surprise.<\/p>\n
New data from AirDNA, which tracks Airbnb and Vrbo listings, shows Jackson Hole, Wyoming, leading the nation in short-term rental bookings for summer 2026, with 45.5% of properties already reserved between June and August, Realtor.com reported.<\/p>\n
Experts say this points to a broader shift in travel preferences.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re seeing a fascinating shift in the short-term rental market for Summer 2026,” Charlie Lankston, executive editor at Realtor.com, told FOX Business in an email. “While a beach house has always been the gold standard, data from AirDNA shows that some travelers are now choosing to trade the ocean for the mountains.”<\/p>\n
Jackson Hole\u2019s appeal lies in its mix of outdoor experiences, from whitewater rafting and canoeing to wildlife viewing in Grand Teton National Park, according to Realtor.com.<\/p>\n

At the same time, demand is rising sharply in cities set to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re also seeing a World Cup windfall with demand in host cities like Fort Worth and Kansas City increasing drastically,” Lankston told FOX Business.<\/p>\n
With hotels in those markets expected to fill quickly, short-term rentals are poised to benefit.<\/p>\n

“Between the $750 host incentives from Airbnb and the surging occupancy rates, the 2026 rental season is shaping up to be a lucrative side hustle for many American homeowners in these metros,” Lankston added.<\/p>\n
