Vrbo’s 2026 Vacation Rentals of the Year are out, and in this episode, Tim Rosolio shares what goes into selecting the homes that earn that recognition.

Tim explains how the program highlights properties that consistently deliver a high-quality guest experience, whether they are run by an individual host or a larger property manager. He also touches on what the strongest operators understand well: the homes that leave a lasting impression are the ones that make the stay feel thoughtful, intentional, and memorable.

To bring that into context, this episode was recorded at Lakefront Escape on Squam Lake, New Hampshire, one of this year’s winning properties. You’ll also hear from owner David Rose, who shares how design, usability, and local insight all shape the experience guests have once they arrive.
