Imagine sleeping in the renovated fuselage of a vintage 727 airplane in Costa Rica. Or how about feeding giraffes over the breakfast table at a castle in Kenya? These one-of-a-kind lodging experiences, and others, are available through online vacation rental websites like Airbnb, and often for less than the cost of a shoebox room in a budget hotel in downtown Manhattan.
Take, for example, the following sampling of Airbnb's unique vacation rental listings:
Boot and Breakfast (pictured at right). A childhood tale comes to life in Tasman, New Zealand. $225/night.
Romantic Igloo. Temperatures in Igloo Village Krvavec in Slovenia hover around 0-5 degrees Celsius - perfect for cuddling. $189/night.
Alone on your own Fiji Island. Really get away by booking the private Fijian island of Nanuku. $350/night.
Ecopod Boutique Retreat. A low-carbon pod designed in partnership with Zendrome, Berlin, in the woods of Appin, United Kingdom. $241/night.
Aircamp Furillen. A vintage Airstream on tiny Furillen Island in Sweden. $204/night.
Airbnb also groups their most notable listings into fun collections, like "Trees and Zzz's" for treehouse lodgings, "Grape Expectations" for wine country accommodations and "I'm On A Boat" for, well, boats.
