The Coolest Airbnbs in the West
Treehouses, underground dwellings, and there's even a potato...
In need of a little wanderlust? Whether you’re planning a summer road trip or just need a virtual break, let these unconventional Airbnbs inspire your next getaway.
Island Treehouse (Hawaii)
Time to live out your childhood fantasy of living in a treehouse. The Kona Luxury Treehouse located on the Big Island has been voted the #1 place to stay in all of Hawaii. It’s nestled high above with ocean views and located on a lush 3 acres. And yes, there are live tree trunks growing through the center of this unique structure.
Big Potato Hotel (Boise, Idaho)
This has to go down as one of the most unique accommodations! This 6-ton potato-shaped structure was recycled from the Idaho Potato Commission’s Big Idaho Potato Tour and now rests on a 400-acre farm just south of downtown Boise. Not sure you want to sleep in a potato? You wouldn’t know it by the interior––bright, feminine, and cozy.

Underground Hygge (Orondo, Washington)
We’re all for living underground for a few days, especially if it’s in the stunning Columbia River Gorge mountainside. This small dwelling feels like something out of a fairytale, which is the kind of escape we all need right now.
Dreamy Treehouse (Park City, Utah)
You can never have too many treehouses on your list of places to stay––and this one in Park City tops ours. This beautiful, one-of-a-kind escape is situated at 8,000 feet with a 200-year-old living fir growing through it. Plus, it’s a truly remote getaway, only accessible by 4×4/AWD over three miles of dirt or snow-packed roads.
