12 awesome off-grid Airbnb properties across the U.S.

Going off-grid doesn’t get any more stylish than this. In fact, this house in Beatty, Nevada – a stone’s throw from the famous Death Valley National Park – is so swish it’s been featured in books, magazines and photoshoots. Surrounded by an isolated patch of desert, the place is kitted out with huge windows so you can see sweeping views of the countryside while you eat breakfast in the open-plan kitchen-diner or from the comfort of your bed. Look out for the sunken-in hot tub and the large full-height glass sliding doors that open completely, merging the inside and outside. 

Rooms? Thee bedrooms. Sleeps six. 
Mood? Dystopian adventure. 
Budget range? Worth it for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

Does it get any more epic than being right at the mouth of a canyon in Morongo Valley? We think not. Set on five acres of stunning desert land, this modern cabin offers unbeatable sunsets and a ton of open space to enjoy a wander. Style-wise, this place is pure desert vibes. We love the minimal decor toffee/vanilla tones throughout - they lap up the sunlight and make this tiny space feel not-so-tiny. When you're not hanging out in the shade, you can take a hike on the nearby canyon trail, enjoy cuddling up around the fire pit, or get the grill going for a delicious meal overlooking the pinky sunsets. 

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two. 
Mood? Desert oasis. 
Budget range? Moderately priced. 

It might look like a scene from Breaking Bad, but we promise it’s a lot more luxurious. The Kyoob is a modern off-grid cabin Airbnb situated in Coconino County on a Native American-owned sheep ranch. Beautifully secluded but close to local attractions if you do need a day’s break from your off-grid experience. While the Airbnb lacks electricity and running water, there are communal areas for bathing using well water, heated by the sun – a real chance to immerse yourself in nature. The Airbnb is perfect for two guests, sleeping in a king-size bed, and waking up to gorgeous views of the desert through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s zero Wi-Fi, so lock up your phone and be at one with nature; it would be rude not to.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two.
Mood? Glamping with an apocalyptic twist. 
Budget range? A budget-friendly weekend for two. 

This teeny tiny glass house Airbnb offers the ultimate opportunity to be self-reliant and in the moment. With no Wi-Fi and only a battery as your source of electricity, you can experience the authentic off-grid lifestyle. As you may have guessed, the tiny glass house is actually made of glass. Wake up to the glorious sunshine streaming in and fall asleep under the starry sky. Cozy up in bed with a book while the rain pours (or imagine you’re in an angsty music video). Romanticize your life by staying in this off-grid Airbnb. Find yourself. Lose yourself. Whatever floats your boat.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two. 
Mood? Boujee barn. 
Budget range? An affordable forest retreat. 

Does it appear to be located in the middle of nowhere? Well, it is. This tiny Airbnb promises an off-grid glamping experience. There’s no running water, limited solar electricity, and very basic amenities – a very stripped-back trip, to say the least. The cabin and 1.2 acres of land will be all yours, ideal for getting away from daily chaos and re-harmonizing with yourself, and drawing inspiration from the elements. There’s a cozy queen-size bed with views of the desert that will actually make you want to get up in the mornings. If you’re more of a night owl, stay up late and marvel at the Milky Way that spreads across the night sky. Not something you see every day in the city, huh?

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two. 
Mood? Compact and cozy. 
Budget range? As cheap as it gets. 

Nowhere does off-grid quite like Alaska does off-grid. This unforgettable cabin is just on the outskirts of Fairbanks, one of the state’s biggest outposts. But, frankly, it feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere (although the availability of shops and other services nearby is very useful). There’s no central heating, no plumbing and the shower is outdoors. But don’t let that totally freak you out – the hosts have extremely carefully thought things through and are very open to answering all concerns. There’s a woodburning stove to help with the chill and – best of all – a cedar hot tub to totally submerge in like a happy Alaska walrus after a hard day’s fishing.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two.
Mood? The essence of Alaska.
Budget range? A sweet price for a very special property.

Going off-grid doesn’t always mean living in a shed and sleeping on the ground. This Earthship Airbnb is the epitome of luxury off-grid living. Other than the traditional living quarters (bedrooms, bathrooms, etc), the Airbnb features a jungle-like greenhouse, fish pond, chicken coop, and water fountain. Sleeping up to four guests, gather your closest pals, take a digital break and embrace a newfound love for all things green. There is Wi-Fi and a TV with Netflix available, in case you really can’t bear to be apart from your boxsets.

Rooms? Two bedrooms. Sleeps four. 
Mood? Quirky greenhouse. 
Budget range? Less than you'd expect. 

Found in the remote location of the Western Navajo Nation, the one-room earth home is ideally situated to provide you with the off-grid experience while still being close enough to restaurants, stores, and the Grand Canyon. Basic and minimalist, you’ll be stripped back to the earth’s roots, with no running water or electricity and very limited cell service; good luck. The Airbnb has two twin beds, so if you want to snuggle up to your other half, think again. It’s so off-grid, you might bump into a coyote in the middle of the night. How rural.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two. 
Mood? Cave chic. 
Budget range? Nice and cheap. 

Hide away from the world in this off-grid inn Airbnb. Perfectly nestled in the forest of Wisconsin, you’ll be surrounded by nothing but luscious woodland. The queen-size bed looks out into the depths of the forest, giving you picturesque views from the second you wake, right up until you doze off. The Airbnb features a kitchen, made up of a mini refrigerator, electric stove, sink, and cooking essentials to allow you to cook your own meals. There’s an electric toilet and a shower, giving you some home comforts, but the Wi-Fi is spotty, so pack a few books and board games, or start writing that novel – there are no excuses now.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps three. 
Mood? Not your average wooden box. 
Budget range? If you're not already won over, the price will do the trick. 

A sustainable haven built into the side of a mountain, this handcrafted Earthship Airbnb exudes ethereal vibes, connecting its guests with the best of the natural world. Rustic and earthy AF, there’s no better place to visit to forget about the real world and reconnect with yourself. Eco-conscious to the max, the Airbnb has a rainwater catchment, solar water heaters, and natural earth cob walls, utilizing the earth’s resources in the best way possible. It has everything you’ll need for a trip away: a gorgeous kitchen, bathroom, and two indoor gardens. There’s also an outdoor hot tub. Who said going off-grid couldn’t be luxury?

Rooms? Two Bedrooms. Sleeps three.
Mood? Stylish and sustainable. 
Budget range? A reasonable price.

Looking like it belongs in a fairytale, this tiny off-grid Airbnb cabin is the most idyllic place for solo travelers to escape the world and reconnect with themselves. Or a couple if you’re loved up and can’t bear to be apart. Located on a 46-acre agroforestry farm, the Airbnb is cozy, unique, and very rustic. By rustic, we mean, no running water, no electricity, and being surrounded by nothing but nature. There’s a shared outdoor kitchen, a swimming creek, and an edible forest (whatever that means). Pack your boots and any clothes you don’t mind getting a bit scuffed, you’ll be exposed to dirt, dust, rain, and insects, so it’s best to leave your stylish pieces in the safety of the closet.

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps two. 
Mood? Fairy cottage. 
Budget range? Ash cheap as they come. 

If you could picture a miniature version of the castle in Beauty and The Beast this would be it. Set in Tenessee, this treehouse invites you to take the dirt path and escape into your very own modern-day fairytale in the woods. The intricately carved wood furnishings, arched window, mezzanine layout, and frescoed bedroom wall are just a few of our favorite things about this cozy home that just screams pumpkin spice. Along with the warm decor scheme you'll also find a few outdoor luxuries to enjoy like the hot tub, deck, grill, firepit, and pickle ball court. 

Rooms? One bedroom. Sleeps four.
Mood? Straight out of a storybook.
Budget range? On the pricier side.
