I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Don’t stay somewhere ordinary…stay somewhere memorable and extraordinary like one of these quirky Airbnbs in Arizona! From a cave-like house to a tiny home and even a converted yellow school bus, these are anything but your standard vacation rentals:
This home just seems so cool to me. Here we have the
Fabulous Chula Canyon Cavehouse, an Airbnb unlike anything you've stayed in before. Located in the Mule Mountains near Bisbee, the home is equipped with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it can accommodate up to six guests. It's also a huge space at 3,000 square feet and, due to the fact that it's a cave (manmade), the temperature hovers between 68 and 70 degrees year-round, so if you want to escape the summer heat, consider staying here for a while. Carved into a mountain, it took over 15 years to complete and is such a unique place to stay in Arizona!
Located in the High Sonoran Desert, the Unique Casita Retreat almost looks like a treehouse the way it's raised up from the ground. Inside is a studio-style home with a gourmet kitchen, a spa bathroom, and one bed for up to two guests. Aside from the gorgeous interior, the views from the windows and the deck are outstanding. You'll be able to see the desert, the Verde River Valley, Mt. Orr, and Four Peaks. This is an exceptional getaway experience just outside of Phoenix.
Remember back in the day when you had to ride a big yellow school bus to school? Well, I bet you never thought you'd be able to spend the night in one! Located just 15 minutes from Sedona in the town of Cottonwood, The Magic Schoolbus Airbnb has a fully-equipped kitchen, a bed, and a seating area. While it's not for everyone, if you're someone who enjoys camping or glamping, you may want to look into this quirky yet awesome vacation rental!
Another glamping adventure, this time in Williams, the Grand Canyon Stargazing Camper is hard to beat. This RV is a highly-rated guest favorite on Airbnb and it's easy to see why. A solo traveler or a couple will love the solitude here and gazing up at the stars at night. While this is a paradise for nature lovers, the interior is both stylish and comfortable for an enjoyable stay.
If you're visiting Yuma and need a place to stay, consider this Tiny House. At only 144 square feet, using the word "cozy" is an understatement. However, the design of the interior certainly maximizes the space. The loft area offers a cozy queen-sized bed and there's a kitchenette, a small living space, and a bathroom. For those curious about tiny house living, you should give this rental a go!
