Airbnb: a treehouse is its most popular rental spot


Many individuals would assume that the most famous Airbnb listings would be a hip and urban location such as a Manhattan penthouse or somewhere in the heart of London. However, that is not the case. The most popular location of this online marketplace is a treehouse!

For more precision, the ‘building’ is treehouse-esque structure that is found in the woods of a coastal Northern California town called Aptos. It has a cylindrical shape and a roofed dome, which has led to it being named ‘The Mushroom Dome’. What was originally built for a homeless friend is now booked out until mid-2020 and is viewed approximately three million times per year on Airbnb. Throughout the years, the space was enhanced with a deck, bathrooms and other amenities so that the owner’s friends and relatives do not experience any difficulty when they visited for a little vacation. Since the cabin remained otherwise empty, she decided to give Airbnb a go.

After ten years, ‘The Mushroom Dome’ has become the site’s most popular rental spot. It now has visitors from around the world because of its highly photogenic environment, among other aspects such as a prime location. Experts also advanced that this infrastructure provides “a glimpse into both the future of lodging and the deepest desires of the human soul”.
