3. Amazing Solar Powered Dome, $131 per night
This solar-powered dome is just a short distance from lakes, rivers, and the Canadian border if you're into that sort of thing. It's also surrounded by seven golf courses, hiking trailers and more. The house may be "off the grid" but you'll still be able to take advantage of a 46-inch flat screen television and high speed internet.
