Known as “the birthplace of a nation”, Virginia is one of the most historically important states in America. Aside from being the first English settlement, producing several of the founding fathers, and being home to the country’s capital, Virginia has a lot more to offer. It has a lot of hidden gems in the form of small and quaint towns waiting to be discovered. One of these underrated ones is Staunton, fondly known as the Queen City. It’s located in Shenandoah Valley near the Blue Ridge Mountains, so you can be sure to expect a lot of outdoor activities here. Arts, culture, and history are also very vibrant in Staunton and is worth checking out. Since Staunton is a small town, it’s best to live like one of the locals and experience it like one.

9. Miniature quaint quarters
This adorable loft is actually just a tiny garage, part of the host’s main house. Don’t worry about privacy though because you will have your own access to it without having to disturb the main house. Inside, the bedroom is located at the very top, and due to its limited space, you will quite literally have to crawl into bed. You will be amazed by how the tiny garage is able to fit a small kitchen, bathroom with shower, and living area with a TV for Netflix! This mini quarter has got everything you need for your stay.
