It can be all too easy to get caught up in planning the day-to-day itinerary of a trip and have to settle for a cheap chain motel when traveling. Don't make that mistake, though: I'm a firm believer that where you sleep each night is just as important on a vacation as the destination itself. After all, you want where you rest your head after a long day of fun to be just as special as the rest of your trip, don't you? We've found a few great unique vacation rentals in Connecticut that will make any getaway special - check out these unique Airbnbs in Connecticut below!
1. Water Forest Retreat: Norwich
This unique octagon-shaped cedar tiny home is tucked away on a beautiful 56-acre property and nestled beside a babbling brook. You'll find plenty of hiking trails nearby - this place is a nature lover's dream!
The home has electricity, but no running water - it's a great middle ground between a hotel and roughing it in a tent. The full-sized bed can sleep one or two guests, and there's a microwave to cook simple meals.
This looks like the perfect place for a romantic couple's weekend away, especially if you're a fan of glamping in nature! For more information or to book a stay at the Water Forest Retreat, check out the property's Airbnb listing.
