A Boulder That Is Also A Castle

via AIRBNB

$100/night

Book

Neighborhood: Pioneertown, CA

Why You Need To Go: This castle is like staying inside of a boulder because it is exactly that, actually. The "Cosmic Castle" at Boulder Gardens is as outside as you're gonna get while being completely inside, surrounded by antique furniture — there's no power (because you're in a boulder), so bring a flashlight (and a friend to split the cost).

The Vacation Station

And also it's a literal train nestled into an old California gold rush town — bring a friend and split that bill to make it a true steal of a deal.
