Here are 5 off-the-wall, drop-dead cool Airbnbs to check out this summer—including the charming Lemondrop Lodge.
1. Lemondrop Lodge – The Green Mountain Dream
Tucked less than a mile from the base of Mount Snow, Lemondrop Lodge delivers big on Vermont charm and easy access to the great outdoors. It's a stylish three-bedroom, three-bath townhouse set in a welcoming mountain‑forest community where you get total privacy without feeling isolated

Versatile zones: Curl up by the three‑sided fireplace. Upstairs is a bonus den perfect for foosball, Xbox, or board games—because unplugged doesn’t mean boring
Resort‑style amenities: Enjoy the on‑site Kingswood clubhouse pool and fitness center, just a short walk away
Connect with nature, on your terms: Hike, bike, golf, horseback ride, antique, or spa-hop—all within minutes. Whether you're craving outdoor adventure or staying in to reconnect, this spot suits both
Perfect for any crew: Ideal for families, friends, or romantics—a winter ski retreat or a summer escape, it handles it all.
If you're after a Vermont getaway that balances majestic scenery, calm retreat space, and just enough play, Lemondrop Lodge has it dialed in.
2. Big Idaho Potato Hotel – Yes, It’s a Real Potato
📍 Boise, Idaho
Ever wanted to sleep in a six-ton potato? No? Well, now you do. The Big Idaho Potato Hotel is exactly what it sounds like: a giant, repurposed potato turned into a cozy, single-room stay. It’s kitschy, weird, and honestly? Kinda cool. Inside, it’s surprisingly chic—white walls, pink chairs, and a touch of farmhouse glam. Outside, you’re surrounded by farmland and a few curious cows.
This one’s for the bucket list. Go weird or go home.
3. Off-the-Grid Glass Cabin – Desert Mirage
📍 Joshua Tree, California
Joshua Tree’s no stranger to quirky architecture, but this off-the-grid glass cabin is next level. With floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, you’ll feel like you’re sleeping in a snow globe—only it's sand and stars instead of snow.
Solar-powered and minimalist by design, this place is a dream for creatives and night-sky obsessives. No Wi-Fi. No distractions. Just wide-open silence and the occasional howling coyote.
4. Floating Cabin on a Private Lake
📍 Upstate New York
Forget lake views. Try lake access—from your front door. This floating cabin is built on a private lake with no road access. You get there via canoe, which is a baller way to start a vacation. Inside: rustic woodwork, a wood-burning stove, and panoramic water views. Outside: fishing, swimming, and floating your existential dread away.
This one’s for the low-key adventurers.
5. The UFO Futuro House
📍 Chattanooga, Tennessee
Want to stay in a literal spaceship? The Futuro House is a restored 1960s prefab UFO that now serves as an Airbnb. It’s small, circular, and weird in all the right ways. Retro-futuristic interior, colored LED lighting, and a round bed that feels like you’re on set for a Bowie music video.
It's the right amount of "what the hell?" to make your summer memorable.
Final Word
If you’re going to spend hundreds on a weekend escape, why settle for boring? Whether you're into quiet cabins like Lemondrop Lodge, floating lake homes, or full-on space travel simulators, Airbnb has something that’ll kick your summer into high gear. Just don’t wait too long—these places book fast.
