7 Amazing Airbnbs For The Perfect Labor Day Escape

by Jessica Learish

Labor Day is less than a month away, and it's not just the last day that you can wear white without offending Gloria Vanderbilt — it's also the last long weekend of summer. Book your final hurrah with one of these Labor Day Airbnb rentals. Even if you're totally over the hot, sticky, mosquito-dense days, it would be a waste of a perfectly good holiday weekend not to soak up a little vitamin D, because it's gonna be a long time before you'll get to hang poolside again. It's not too late to score an amazing Airbnb for the perfect long weekend to round out the summer.

From coast to coast, from the desert to the beach, hosts of hosts have open beds and patio chairs just waiting for you and your crew. As an added bonus, all of the options included in this roundup have some sort of swimming opportunity within walking distance from the rental. So, instead of sitting at home watching movies and passively absorbing ads for all of the mattress sales in your area, plan a quick getaway to one of these beautiful spots. Unless you need a new mattress, of course, in which case, Labor Day is your day.

Here are seven amazing rentals that are still available for you last-minute vacation planners.

1. Disgraceland — Nashville, Tennessee

Enjoy the bustling music scene in Nashville by night, and drink piña coladas poolside by day — your accommodations are in the tiki hut next to the pool. Plus, the front gate has this very Instagrammable decoration!

2. Mad Men Lounge With Private Pool — Austin, Texas

This midcentury masterpiece can be your home-base for an Austin adventure this Labor Day. Of course, you'll also take advantage of the gorgeous private swimming pool during those hot Texas days. This spot sleeps up to five guests, which means your squad is definitely invited.
