Airbnbs and similar offerings are booked solid in and around the path of totality for today's total solar eclipse, per estimates from short-term rental analytics platform AirDNA.
- In fact, mapping out fully booked cities paints an almost perfect picture of the path the eclipse will take as it crosses America from Texas to Maine.
The big picture: Hotels, short-term rentals and even campsites have been booked out for weeks, if not months.
How it works: AirDNA collects daily booking data from more than 10 million short-term rental properties worldwide.
- It looks at properties listed on both Airbnb and Vrbo but de-duplicates listings posted on both sites "to give a true size of the industry," the company says.
The bottom line: If you're not among those traveling to the Hill Country today, there's always next weekend, when wildflowers will still be in bloom — and accommodations are likely to be much cheaper.
