DeKalb is a county in the state of Georgia, U.S.A. The county comprises about 10 percent of the state capital Atlanta as well as the suburbs of Metro Atlanta. DeKalb offers plenty of attractions to visitors. Nature lovers can explore Stone Mountain Park, where you can climb the mountain or take a cable car up to its curved peak. You can visit the Fernbank Science Center, where you can learn more about science and natural history and watch a planetarium show. And if you like to shop, there are malls to check out, including the North DeKalb Mall. We’ve put together a list of our favorite Airbnb vacation rentals in DeKalb County, so keep reading and check out the options!

1. Atlanta treehouse (from USD 311)
Up next, we’ve got another unique rental option—a treehouse! With one bedroom and two beds, this treehouse can sleep four guests. There’s free parking on site, so no need to worry about dragging your luggage too far. You’ll have a fridge, silverware, and coffee machine, so you can eat simple meals and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. The treehouse is located on a working farm, and right outside your front door, you’ll find llamas and alpacas—certainly different than the typical Airbnb neighbor! The treehouse is located in the East Atlanta neighborhood. If you’re enjoying the animals on the farm, you may want to head to the nearby Zoo Atlanta, where you’ll be able to hang out with the gorillas and pandas. You will also be near the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum, which holds documents of the nation’s 39th president as well as a replica of the Oval Office.
