AIRBNB is filled with all kinds of listings, so whatever kind of accommodation you’re looking for, you can probably find it on the platform.
From a UFO-like flying saucer to a massive Idaho potato home, there is a listing for every taste and occasion.
Below, we have compiled a list of seven of the strangest listings on Airbnb, found all over the world.
Secluded Treehouse, Georgia
This Atlanta treehouse can accommodate two guests, and offers a “Calm in the crazy sanctuary for seclusion,” and was named one of Airbnb’s “#1 most wish-listed property in the world.”
It consists of three separate areas named Mind, Body and Spirit, which are each connected by rope bridges.
As the listing says, “What could be better than falling asleep in the trees and waking up to birds singing around you–all within the city limits?”
However, the bathroom is shared with the main house and there is no heating or air conditioner, making for a genuine nature experience.
You can experience it yourself for $389 per night, plus fees.

Potato Hotel, Idaho
The Big Idaho Potato Hotel in Boise, Idaho, is certainly one of the quirkiest offers in Arbnb.
The six-ton potato is made of concrete, plaster, and steel, and measures 28 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 11.5 feet tall.

Lucy is also one the oldest roadside attractions in America.
The hotel is six stories high and its interior is decorated with an eclectic Victorian vibe
“I hosted my first stay in 1902, and over the years, I’ve been a tavern and hosted a United States President. Today, I’m one of the Jersey Shore’s most recognizable faces,” says the attraction’s listing.
“As you step inside my walls (and up 25 steps), you’ll be transported back in time to the 1800s, where you will feel the Victorian Era come alive,” it adds.
There is one room in the hotel, which can accommodate two people for $138 a night, plus fees.
