DALLAS (KTVT) If you’re holding out on making summer travel plans, you may be out of luck if they involve a vacation home rental.
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, short-term rentals have been surging, and they’re even hotter this summer.

“The demand definitely has been off the charts,” said realtor Monica Maynard Wood, who owns two properties in Broken Bow. She said occupancy over the last two years has gone from around 50 percent to 95 percent.
