Antique Glamping in California

If we got to peek into the current living situation of Phoebe Buffay, I kinda feel like she’d be here. With the brightly colored fixtures and a sign outside that says, “Welcome to the Muffin Mansion,” this is probably the coolest camping experience you will ever have. And for only $65 per night!

1926 Train Caboose in Virginia

Sleeping on a train isn’t usually so much fun, because you’re stuck in a cramped shared space with a bed that’s almost right up against the ceiling. But a full train car all to yourself? Um, yes please.

This dream spot has a grass roof, two beds and one bath, is $100 per night, and shares land with an animal sanctuary. There’s even a bob cat that you can pet!

Boulder House in Yucca Valley

Did the Flintstones live here? Well, no, but you could totally picture it, am I right? It has a kick-ass pool and hot tub, indoor decor that resembles a chic cave, and it blends right in to the surroundings, just in case you’re on the run for a crime you didn’t commit.

Aussie Igloo By the Sea

There are puh-lenty of reasons to explore Australia, and now you can add another to the list. Igloos don’t really make sense in a warmer climate, which is kinda why this one is so so awesome. It’s $80 per night and includes a loft. SIGN. ME. UP.
