A number of places around the world let oenophiles sleep in wine barrels.

But one Airbnb in Essex, Canada, takes it one step further, letting guests sleep in a wine barrel that's floating on a river.

The houseboat, named Fox Creek, located in Ontario's wine region has a panoramic window with views of the surrounding vineyards and wildlife. The Airbnb listing says it's also a great place for stargazing.

The listing says the red cedar barrel, which runs on solar power, is 9.4 feet long and houses a queen-size bed, flat-screen TV and DVD player, and a mini-fridge. There's also a tiki bar, lounge chairs around a fire pit, and a grill to cook on, according to the listing.

There's a toilet, described as "a personal port-a-john," on land. The outdoor bathroom also has a whiskey barrel sink and an open-air shower.

And there's no risk of you floating away at night — the barrel is tethered to shore, according to the listing.

You can book the unique cabin on Airbnb, starting at $120 per night.

Before making any plans, however, it's important to note the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's warning that "travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19." The Canadian-US border is closed to travelers until at least August 21 due to the pandemic.
