The Land of Enchantment is not only home to some of the most unique landscapes in the country but some of the most unique accommodations. One such place to spend the night is an Earthship, a particular style of architecture that uses both natural and upcycled materials in its construction, with the result being a fascinating home that looks like it belongs on another planet. So, are you intrigued? Well, there’s a well-known Earthship home you can spend the night in and we think it’s the most unique vacation home rental in Taos County, New Mexico.

Known as the Dobson House, this is perhaps the most famous Earthship home in Taos. And you can spend the night here!
Vrbo
The entire home is 6,500 square feet and sits right above the Rio Grande Gorge. Not only is this house one of the most unique places you'll ever stay but it's surrounded by gorgeous natural beauty that you can easily explore the moment you step outside.
Vrbo
However, it's recommended that you have an AWD or 4WD vehicle to get here as its location is off the beaten path.

You'll also have full use of the gourmet kitchen. Spend some time cooking a delicious meal and then sit down to dine all while enjoying gorgeous views!
