From up-and-coming gems to tried-and-true escapes, these travel destinations have seen some serious vacation rental buzz in 2016. We’re turning the spotlight on rising stars like Guntersville and Page while also highlighting classic vacation spots that have received a boost thanks to big events like the National Park Service Centennial.

Some (like Holden Beach and Little Gasparilla Island) are kid-friendly locales with breathtaking scenery and laid-back attractions that make it easier to unplug and spend time as a family. Others (like the Shenandoah Valley and all six national parks on the list) are getaway spots great for outdoor enthusiasts, from casual day hikers to serious thrill-seekers. And a handful (like Knoxville, Waco and Kansas City) are vibrant urban areas that got downright awesome while you weren’t looking.

There’s no real pattern here—unless you count the resurgence of America’s national parks!—but all 25 destinations have one thing in common: a unique selection of TripAdvisor vacation rentals that will save you money, upgrade your experience and place you in the middle of all the action.

Click through the slideshow below to discover which rental destinations are trending this year, why their popularity is at a fever pitch, and where you should plan a trip in 2017—because whatever ‘adventure’ means to you, your next vacation should be one.
