4. Wineyhouse No. 1; Zennewijnen, Netherlands (from USD 303)
A wine barrel repurposed into a tiny home - we love this idea.
Even the washroom looks Instagrammable.
We just have one question - does it smell like wine inside? You’ll have to come back and let us know once you’ve experienced it!

5. Birdbox; Gaular, Norway (from USD 346)
What will make you feel like a character in a sci-fi movie if not a box house with funny window shapes?
It looks all mystery and intrigue on the outside, but inside, it’s a warm and cozy home where you can sleep, admire the view, and even prepare your own meals.

7. Ufogel; Nußdorf-Debant, Austria (from USD 735)
If you’re thinking, “Howl’s Moving Castle?” you’d be wrong, but so would we. There’s something about the shape and the lush background - we can’t peel our eyes away from it!
Don’t be fooled by how it looks on the outside either - this floating home is fully equipped and even comes with a detached sauna.

8. Krka Magic Pumpkin; Rupe, Croatia (from USD 152)
Everything about this Airbnb is magical. First of all, it’s a pumpkin. Second of all, it’s surrounded by greenery and fruit trees. And the neighboring house also happens to be a mushroom.
The inside is cozy enough, but this is where you go to reconnect with nature, sit in the grass, and wonder if there’s a witch living nearby.
Location: Rupe, Croatia Amenities: WiFi, kitchen, outdoor spaces
Rupe, Šibensko-kninska županija, CroatiaAccommodates: 4
9. The Boot; Nelson, New Zealand (from USD 358)
There was a dear couple who stayed in a boot.
They had a memorable holiday, that much was the truth.
The accommodations were cozy, their smiles were quite rosy. It’s worth coming back to this house that’s so cute!

10. The Yellow Submarine; Marton, New Zealand (from USD 192)
At first, I thought this property was actually a refurbished submarine. The attention to detail is that meticulous!
The “clutter” only contributes to how immersive the interior is.
