Unique Vacation Rentals in the United States

“Falling in love with our country, one vacation rental at a time.” I don’t know about you, but I am the type of person that searches for surprises, life-changing experiences, and amazing abodes when I travel! Vacation rentals have become increasingly popular in recent years because travelers are now seeking out lodging accommodations that are more unique and memorable than your average hotel or resort. You may not remember the Hampton Inn you stayed at on your family’s Florida vacation, but you will remember the time you stayed in a romantic Georgia treehouse with your significant other for your 30^th wedding anniversary! Whether it’s a train car in Ohio, a tiny house in California, or a treehouse in Georgia, there are tons of vacation rentals in the United States offering fun getaways, one-of-a-kind experiences, and memories to last a lifetime!

Treehouses

If you are someone who likes to be “one with nature” when you travel, a treehouse vacation rental would be perfect for you! Treehouse rentals offer quiet seclusion from the hustle and bustle of daily life, breathtaking scenery, and the most enchanting atmosphere you could ever dream of.

Meadowlark Treehouse

Meadowlark Treehouse at Montana Treehouse Retreat in Columbia Falls, Montana is the perfect place for a writer’s getaway, honeymoon, romantic escape, or an unforgettable family vacation. This treehouse was featured on DIY Network, HGTV, Time and Outside Magazine, so you know it is a special place! Situated on five wooded acres, this immaculately designed two-story treehouse has all the amenities you could ever need. The Treehouse’s grand entrance is a spiral staircase wrapped around a grand Douglas Fir. It has 500 square feet of living space, two outdoor deck areas, a full kitchen, dishwasher, stove, and three padded benches for entertaining, which also serve as sleeping quarters. Two living trees grow through the treehouse interior and two living trees rise through the treehouse decks outside. The master suite loft features a queen Tempur-Pedic mattress leading out to the second story deck through a sliding glass door. This makes for the perfect setting to enjoy a cup of coffee while overlooking your private, wooded scenery. One of the major highlights of this rental is that it is located only thirty minutes from Glacier National Park!

Canopy Blue Treehouse

Tucked away on four private acres in the Aska Adventure Area in Blue Ridge, Georgia is the Canopy Blue Treehouse. It is the ideal getaway for families and couples wanting to unplug from the city and enjoy quality time together. This 750 square foot treehouse is truly unlike any property you have ever seen! To enter the treehouse, you will head up the long ramp from the parking area. Upon entering the treehouse, you will notice the cozy, upscale living space with high ceilings and creative features. On the main level of the treehouse is a private bedroom featuring a queen-size bed, a large window with a bench seat, a bathroom with a tiled shower, a living area with a small sofa, bunk beds, and a built-in table. There is also a coffee bar, kitchen area, and French doors to the outside porch that overlooks the fire pit below. If you desire some separation, the loft area provides just that. Soak in the views from the hanging bed or relax in one of the recliners while watching your favorite show on the flat-screen TV. One of my favorite things about this vacation rental is that it overlooks Chattahoochee National Forest and has direct hiking access to the Benton MacKaye Trail right outside your door!

The Treehouse at Little Peak Creek Farm

The Treehouse at Little Peak Creek Farm is located on 25 acres of beautiful mountain land in Laurel Springs, North Carolina. The owners of this vacation rental are artists who have filled the treehouse with charming and creative elements that provide an adventure for the senses! The farmland offers endless opportunities for hiking and spending time with all the farm animals. There are donkeys, goats, chickens, turkeys, and ducks that each have their own story and personality. You can also gather your own eggs from the gypsy wagon where the chickens live! There are many outdoor activities to participate in nearby, including horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and fishing. The post beams used for construction of the treehouse were made of pines harvested from the property itself, and many of the materials were reclaimed from salvage or antique stores. The owner is a stained-glass artist and has designed three pieces that hang together in the treehouse, creating a stunning progression of a sunset in the mountains! An old apple tree stump makes up the bathroom sink and the clawfoot tub is positioned in front of an amazing view for a relaxing bath. The wood stove heats the treehouse and has a wonderful view of the fire while looking out the windows that surround you on all sides. What I love the most about this property is its unique design and the magical ambiance it creates for its guests!

Silos

Many converted silos that are available for rent today were actually used on a working farm to store grain at some point in their lives! Situated on quaint farms and rolling hills, silo vacation rentals are designed for those looking to escape the city life and spend time experiencing the farm life in all its glory!

Laughing Hen Silos

Laughing Hen Silos can be found in the picturesque countryside of La Grange, Texas! There are three converted silos that you can rent on this 11-acre farm that capture the spirit and rustic charm of country life. This vacation rental is ideal for a romantic getaway, a special occasion, or a basecamp for your Round Top, Texas shopping experience! Each silo has its own unique look and vibe, featuring antique barnwood, chandeliers, air conditioning, a mini-fridge, coffee maker, and a private front porch. The silos have been featured in Southern Living, Narcity, House Beautiful, and Country Living. There are so many activities to enjoy during your stay as well, including art galleries, concerts, museum tours, shopping, wine tastings, and the spring and fall Antique Fair. The vintage farm feel and convenient location to Round Top are what bring guests back to Laughing Hen Silos year after year!  

Silo Farm Haus

The Silo Farm Haus can be found in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri in the heart of wine country! It is nestled on a 200-acre farm that is just a short drive from nine local wineries, breweries, and an award-winning restaurant. It is an original silo that had been used to store grain on the farm for many years before its conversion. It boasts nearly 800 square feet of living space. Upstairs, you will find a spacious loft hosting a queen-size bed. Downstairs offers a full-size kitchen with a refrigerator, oven/stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker and toaster. Just off the kitchen is a cozy living room with a loveseat that converts to a futon, a rocker recliner, an accent chair, and a custom-made bench for two. There is also one bathroom with a full-size shower as well as a laundry room with a large washer and dryer. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch overlooking rolling hills and a water quarry or sip on a glass of wine after a long day of touring local wineries. You can make the short drive to Sainte Genevieve to visit the downtown shops and restaurants or simply take a bike ride through beautiful scenery! The Silo Farm Haus will truly be your home away from home!

The Willow Silo

Nestled between Phoenicia and Woodstock in Willow, New York, this modern three-story silo is the perfect relaxing retreat! It offers secluded mountain views in the woods but is also close to Woodstock, where you can find galleries, dining options, boutiques and take a tour of the Brydecliffe Art Colony. This vacation rental features three bedrooms with two twin beds, a queen size bed, and a full-size sofa bed. It is also equipped with a brand-new modern kitchen! What is special about this silo is that it is close to the Hunter, Belleayre and Windham ski resorts, so in the winter months you can take your family on an epic ski adventure. If you visit in the spring, you will enjoy the stunning waterfalls, lakes, and hiking trails nearby. You can even do some star gazing at night in the hammock area on property! The area is also well-known for its spiritual centers, like the Zen Mountain Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist Center, Menla, and the MataGiri Vedanta Center.

Tiny Houses

The “Tiny House Movement” has become a major trend in recent years! Tiny house vacation rentals come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can accommodate an entire family. The endless, inventive designs create a special combination of simplicity and comfort, and make you question why you ever dreamed of owning a mansion when a tiny house can offer you so much!

Riverside Hideout

Riverside Hideout is a shipping container tucked away in the woods and hills of Dover, Ohio. The 300 square foot container is equipped with a queen size bed and a spacious bathroom. It has a fully stocked kitchen with a hot plate, toaster oven, coffee maker and a large mini fridge. There are books, magazines, board games and cards provided for your entertainment. The things I love about this container are it has been thoughtfully designed with salvaged materials found and collected by the owners, it has a ton of natural light, and it offers you peace and relaxation because it is tucked away in the woods. Riverside Hideout is centrally located to many hiking and biking trails, is just across the street from the Dover Dam and the Tuscarawas River and is near several lakes that are great for paddling or kayaking! It is also just fifteen minutes away from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Canton Art Museum & Downtown Art District, local wineries, breweries, coffee shops and historic downtown areas. Relax or recreate, its all up to you. I would recommend both for your Ohio vacation!

For sleeping arrangements, it offers two fold-away beds and one king size bed. When renting this tiny house, you will have access to the entire 75-acre property for walking, having a picnic next to the stream or simply sitting by a fire and roasting marshmallows. One of the best things about The Ark is that it is close to Zion National Park, making it the perfect basecamp for your National Park adventure!

You are also within fifteen miles of over fifty wineries. Talk about the perfect combination of recreation and relaxation!

Train Cars

Train car vacation rentals are perfect for history lovers and those who wish they could travel back in time!

Santa Fe Boxcar

Have you always wanted to stay in a boxcar? If so, the Santa Fe Boxcar in Hutchinson, Kansas will give you that incredible opportunity! This boxcar was built in 1941 and was converted into a unique and modern guest house by the owners in 2020. They believe the boxcar had been used on the ATSF Railroad! The interior of the property still has the original wood walls and features a loft and a bed built on one end and a bathroom on the opposite end. There is a double bed, a single bed, and a sofa bed available for sleeping. You will be able to enjoy the fire pit, a charcoal grill, tetherball, and corn hole during your stay as well as the gorgeous Kansas sunsets and sunrises! Make sure that you visit the famous Carriage Crossing Restaurant and the local favorite Bull’s Eye Grill during your stay.
