We have had AT&T for many years in the area. Many others in the family have Verizon. While coverage areas differ between the two, they are about the same in overall coverage.

It's better than it was 5 years ago, but no matter which one you have, you will hit dead spots. The many mountains and valleys in the area block the signals in various areas.

We have zero coverage at our house. But we have a mini-tower that gives us coverage as long as the internet is accessible. If I get in my boat and go out 200 yards onto the lake, I can get almost 5 bars.

So, to answer your original question, you won't really know if you have coverage at the place you've rented until someone with an AT&T phone goes there and looks at the reception at that spot.
