Looking for an utterly unique place to spend the night? How does an evening or two in a real helicopter sound? Don’t worry, there’s no need to find a pilot – this incredible resort in Connecticut has turned a massive helicopter into a luxurious accommodation for two.

Aptly named the Helicopter Cottage, this stunning spot is part of Winvian Farm in Litchfield, Connecticut.
Winvian Farm
Litchfield is a small town of about 8,500 people that draws tourists for its beautiful fall foliage and natural assets like Lake Waramaug and Mt. Tom State Park.
Though it doesn’t look like much from the outside, this little cottage is hiding a massive, fully-restored 1968 Sikorsky Sea King Pelican HH3F helicopter.

The helicopter was once used by the Coast Guard and is truly a wonder to behold.
The helicopter is filled with original hardware like pilot and co-pilot seats, switches, and gauges.

You really feel as if you’re hanging out in a functional helicopter, just without the deafening roar and threat of turbulence.
