The ’80s are Still Alive & Well at this Totally Ace Airbnb

Jauntily hung Friends posters, VHS movies, gel pens, furniture that looks like it’s been taken straight off the set of Saved by the Bell, and nonsensical – but absolutely necessary – squiggly lines on every surface. We love the 80s and 90s more than Cher Horowitz loved her Alaia handbag, so naturally, we lost it…

The French Town on the Edge of a Giant Hole

On the lip of a lush cliff in Aveyron hides a place exempt from logic. Granted we’re not scientifically inclined, but there has to be some kind of sorcery bubbling under the bedrock of Bozouls, the ancient French village that’s been teetering on the edge of a massive hole – without totally crumbling in on…

Summer Is Short, Spend it on a French Farm

It’s easy to forget in the ever buzzing Paris, but France is, at its core, a country of farmers. They have more cheese varieties than they can keep track of, possess one-third of all agricultural land in the EU, and have a reality TV show called L’Amour est dans le pré – literally, Love Is…

Don’t Judge this Potato Hotel by its er, Skin

Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder, as they say. Especially if that beholder happens to own Idaho’s chicest new B&B, The Big Idaho Potato Hotel. At a glance, the spud seems like another loveable wonky, abandoned roadside gem from the golden days of Route 66. But this six-ton ‘tater has Pinterest-perfect interiors that feel…

When you reserve a room at the…

Camping in a 1920s Tram Lost in the Forest

I stumbled on a photo of this weathered and whimsical train car on Pinterest and went digging frantically for the location, to see if it really existed. And my efforts were not in vain, for soon enough, I found that not only does this place exist, but you can actually stay here and make yourself at home. Welcome…
