3. Airplane Hotel
Sounds fascinating, right? Hotels in unique shapes, especially of different objects, are quite intriguing. For example, the airplane hotel in Costa Rica, called 727 Fuselage Home, offers all amenities with a scenic ocean and jungle view.
You can find many such lodging options throughout America.
4. Farm Stays
Farm stays, such as Los Poblanos in New Mexico and Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, offer a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in a rural setting, surrounded by tranquility and scenic beauty.
Here you can indulge in many recreational activities, including hiking through farmland, horseback riding, and mountain biking, or consider participating in farm-based activities like organic farming and culinary arts.
5. Glamping
Glamping is a more luxurious and glamorous version of camping. It allows you to experience the beauty of nature without compromising comfort. So you get proper beds, a private bathroom, electricity, and good food inside a sturdy tent.
If you prefer this lodging option, you can choose from many glamping resorts, such as Naturluxe & Stars in New York and Capitol Reef Resort in Utah.
6. Igloos
If you’re planning on visiting a cold destination like Alaska, then you have to stay a night or two in an igloo. It’s especially a perfect lodging option for couples seeking a romantic and cozy experience.
During days you can explore the snowy landscape on a dog sled, and during nights you snuggle in and gaze up at the perfect night sky.
7. Hostels
These might sound less exciting than other lodging options on this list, but hostels are amazing for saving costs and socializing. Especially if you’re a solo traveler, you can take shared rooms in hostels and meet other fellow travelers.
