Chances are you have heard of a vacation and even a staycation, but have you heard about the newest trend in travel, a cowboy-cation?! You read that right, cowboy-cations are on the rise! Popular TV shows, such as Yellowstone, have created a curiosity in travelers with hopes to experience the vast west and experience the life of a Cowboy on the western front. According to travelpulse.com
When it comes to the vacation rental market for 2023, Expedia experts say “cowboy-cations” are trending. “Demand for the whole private vacation homes in U.S. western destinations has increased by more than 30 percent,” says Fish. “That puts Montana, Colorado, and other western states right up there with the traditional beachside destinations where people want whole, private vacation homes."
