Prepare for takeoff! To infinity and beyond is where you’ll go if you’re lucky enough to grab a booking at this unique stay in Joshua Tree, California. Available on Airbnb is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to spend the night in an authentic Futuro house. Produced during the 1960s, there were fewer than 100 Futuro houses ever produced, so staying inside of one is definitely a special experience. Best of all, you’ll be surrounded by the world-famous desert beauty that Joshua Tree has to offer. Take a look:
Hiding in Southern California is a place to stay that's truly "out of this world." Available on Airbnb, this flying saucer is probably the most unique place you'll ever sleep - if you're lucky enough to land a booking, that is.
No, your eyes do not deceive you. This Airbnb tiny house is a flying saucer-style UFO, complete with bright colors and an elliptical shape. Not only is it a unique structure, but it's one of fewer than 100 in the entire world!
Known as a Futuro House, this bizarre style of house was designed by a Finnish architect and produced through the late '60s and early '70s. They were seen as a bit too "out there" during their time, but today are highly sought after by collectors. Believe it or not, there are only 19 in the United States - and this is the only one you can stay the night in.
The Airbnb's sheer novelty has made it very popular, so it's regularly booked out for a year or longer at a time. However, those who are lucky enough to grab a reservation are treated to a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. After all, not many people can say they've spent the night in a flying saucer in the desert!
Located in a Joshua Tree neighborhood, visitors can enjoy the idyllic setting of this desert paradise with all the comforts of home. The Futuro House is equipped with cozy furnishings, board games, an in-house sound system, and a coffee maker.
Guests also have access to an outdoor kitchen, hot outdoor showers, private restrooms, and a fire pit. This is still glamping, so visitors are asked to come prepared for an off-grid experience.
We can guarantee you won't find a getaway destination like this one anywhere else in California...or the entire country...or the world. See more photos and learn more by visiting the Airbnb listing.
