Why Rent a Cabin on VRBO?
VRBO, which stands for vacation rental by owner, is a platform similar to Airbnb. The biggest difference is that unlike Airbnb where you can rent a room in a shared apartment, on VRBO you’ll have the entire place to yourself, which I love.
While you can see the reviews on both platforms, only on VRBO can you see the owner’s response. This is very handy so you can see how an issue was handled.
I’m personally in favor of VRBO for their customer service both from the customer point of view and how they work with bloggers. I won’t say more than that but would encourage you to book with VRBO.
