Unusual Lodgings

Stay the night in unusual lodgings for a different overnight adventure!

Be a pirate for the night. Sleep in a room like a captain's cabin, complete with costumes.

Or choose a cave room in one of the theme hotels across the US.

There are all sorts of unusual lodgings in the U.S.

There are teepees and covered wagons.

There's the adventure of tree-climbing and sleeping in hammock waaaay up in the tree.

And if you're not quite as brave as that, how about a treehouse?

Maybe diving down 12 feet in a Florida lagoon to your unusual lodgings appeals?

Okay.

You don't dive, either?

Well, more unusual lodgings include:

An old jail (haunted!!!)

An old apple barn

A converted grist mill (that still grinds)

A yurt you get to by dogsled

A sheepherders wagon

Cabooses and other train cars
There’s even a haunted caboose!

Some old silos

An old sharecropper’s shack

Lighthouses. Lots of lighthouses.

Even an inland lighthouse.

There are cottages on a pier over the ocean in California and an old barge on a beach in Alaska.

There are chickees in alligator infested swamps.

There's a place made out of old tires and cans.

There's a South Pacif/WW II theme hotel in a replica World War II military hangar.

There are lodgings next to an observatory--bring your own telescope.

You can sleep in an old 1860s silver mining town. An old schoolhouse. A hobbit cottage.

There are still a few of the funky old Motor Lodges left on Route 66.

Of course there's the Luxor pyramid hotel in Las Vegas.

Unusual lodgings could also be a really odd and different overnight stay, like the places with theme rooms. Or just a bed and breakfast with a strange room, like maybe a haunted room…
There are haunted hotels and bed and breakfasts almost everywhere!

There’s a cabin in a ghost town during the winter-snowshoes, skis, or snowmobiles are the only way in.

Or there’s a chance to sleep in converted slave quarters in the South.

A Bed and Breakfast in a 100 year old barn near a hotbed of UFO sightings.

If spending the night in strange and different places appeals, a Monastery would qualify as unusual lodgings (well, if you’re not a monk, that is). Plus there are fancy castles in the East, the kitschy Madonna Inn in the West. There are Boat and Breakfasts on both coasts and the inland waterways, too.

Don’t even get me started on all the wonderful offbeat tours, which would be unusual lodgings—like the tugboat ride up the Inland Passage, the paddlewheeler on the Mississippi. (I mean, how often have you spent the night on a tugboat or a paddlewheeler????)

Anyway, there are unusual lodgings all over America. Once you start finding them, you'll never settle for one of those chain motels again!
